Pete Lamb's Wellington fishing report: Surf casting kingfish and snapper at Palliser Bay and Castle Point, mixed bags inshore but good boat fishing, and a solid 10-day forecast.
How Lucky Are We!
Boaties share their love of fishing and why it’s so important to ‘protect our paradise’. By keeping hulls, anchors, chains and gear clean, we can all do our bit to stop the spread of invasive pests.

When I was 23 I decided life was too short to be stuck in a job I didn't like so I gave up my job, packed up my Holden Kingswood full of camping and fishing gear and when on a hiatus to Cape Runaway to suss out the monster kingfish lurking around. Now I have a retail fishing shop in Rongotai, a wholesale bait distribution business and run fishing charters on 3 vessels from Mana on Wellingtons West
