Hi guys
Been a while since I have put a message on here but good to see some familiar names still here and catching still catching fish.

This is not surfcasting related however I thought a few of you (James, Chad Snappa ex) would be the best people to give me a bit of advise on where to launch my boat at Mahia

I will be stopping in Mahia on Saturday and hoping to fish Sunday and Monday maybe longer if I can find the Tuna.

Where can I launch without use of a tractor. I know there is a ramp on the northern side of the peninsular however have been told it is no good at low tide. Low tide is just after mid day on Sunday.

Are there any launching options on the Mahia side that do not require a tractor?

Boat is a 5.8m senator HT

Any advise would be appreciated
Cheers

Andy

Hey Chad,

How you mate? Cheers for the reply! I am towing the boat with a Ford territory AWD. If that is capable of launching the boat on the beach then that would be ideal! Light northerlies forecast for Sunday so I definitely want to be heading out from that side of the penninsular! I will have a look at Waikokopu on the way past as well.
Cheers

That was the plan but looking at the SST's now and the chlorophyl image shows there is some very nice blue water pushing near the north eastern side of the penninsular. Water on the southern side and in Hawkes Bay looks pretty green and not ideal for Tuna. Whangawehi puts me within 10nm of where I want to be.

What's the deal with that little boat harbour? Will I be able to get back in on a low tide if I set off from there?

I was there on the week end - low tide is low- boats were coming in hugging the left side there is a channel there(approx 3 meters wide).
Go out early come back late in the day
