- A fun day catch up fish up Muriwai with my mate Derek
Well after a little break from my fishing it was great to be back out flicking a few baits from the shore. With Sundays swell below a mtr for out west with light winds it meant only one thing - load the car up with the surfcast gear and head for Muriwai.
This was going to be my first fish for 2022 and what better way to start than fishing magical Muriwai. My mate Derek was keen to and the plan was to be on the beach around half 6.00 to try and find a few fish for the smoker. A couple of Kahawai and trev's were the target then we were going to finish the day off on the low trying for a few snaps of the banks. Getting onto Muriwai just after 6 we headed up the beach in search of a little hole or trough we could flick a few baits in and set our plan into action.
Fishing the high tide can be a little difficult especially when the swell is down, waves are a key ingredient for finding those inner holes and channels. We shouldn't have to many probs finding Kahawai but the little inner holes are a little deeper and this is where Trev's like to come in and mooch over the high. It was close to half tide by the time we found our spot, it wasn't as far up as I like to fish but we thought we would start here and just move if we had to. I love the early morning when it comes to my fishing from the sand up Muriwai, it's crisp coolness and airy wave sounds add to the adventure.
We geared up and flicked out our first baits with a very fishy feeling. We had a little outer bank about 70mtrs out so it was a nice little channel for fish to swim up and down. With it still being low light, although there for the kahawai and Trev's we may luck a snap as well. Derek hooked up on his first bait - pretty quickly to and too true Muriwai form in came a stonker of a kahawai. He was pretty stoked and it was his first ever Muriwai fish which was going to be binned with the plan of it finishing up in the smoker. There were plenty of bites to start with and we caught a couple more kahawai but the Trev's were playing hard to get. Although they were probably biting our baits as well, after a couple hours and the bites slowing we decided to do a shift.
Prt 2 - next week we get into the fish as the tide drops
Awesome video and great footage, thanks for the trip, tight lines and regards,, Tony.

Cheers JT-Rex for the support 👍
Great video! Really been waiting for one of these since Christmas. Would be super keen to see some more FC430 action in the Hauraki and maybe some pointers on how to find work ups and channels to fish at different tides. Thanks for your content and education.
You read the sea just like me brother.. its hard to explain.. but you can semi predict the incoming tide while it's coming in. I fish Scott's ferry Beach on the west coast.. in-between foxton and wanganui
Love your content, I dint have a car to get on the beach but this year I'm getting my surfcasting on
Man Derek looks like a good fisherman
I am always wondering if there is an easy excess point you can reach without a 4wd? The only one I know of is the rocks by the gannets but I would really like to try the waves from the sand beach not too close to all the surfers and tourists.
There is a couple of entry points coming in from the back side but unsure how close you can get to the water or needing a 4x4 - Wilsons road is one and think there is another. If you want to do a 10min walk you can park down pass the golf course then walk over to the beach and walk right pass the stream - you may find a little spot you can fish away from the main crowd.
Heading out here tomorrow, hope to get some big dogs!!
Cheers for sharing your knowledge mate still learning and learnt heaps from your vid 👍
This just makes me wanna go to Muriwai this weekend instead of Kariotahi
Damn the audio makes a massive difference !
Your videos inspired me to drive down to the sand at Muriwai. My word, it's like another world out there! Loved it. How long do you normally spend fishing there?
Hi ma
It is a very special place Muriwai - I've been fishing it for over 40yrs since the mid 70's. Even if I don't get a lot of action I would still pick it over a good fish day on the east coast. I fish it mainly through the low tide so around 6-7hrs or will do a full day from a low over the high then back to the low so can be 13 - 15hrs.

are you able to drive out during high tide? or do you have to stay 2 low tides for muriwai beach?
I like to drive the beach half tides as the sand is a lot harder at the waters edge then - so I normally go half tide out then back off half tide in or wait through the high and back off again the other side - you can drive the softer sand but puts a lot of stress on the vehicle.

@@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing cheers thanks for the info
