This surfcasting spot is on the western headland of Stanmore Bay on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula north of Auckland. Around 100m down Duncansby Road, off Viponds Road, is a carpark on the right.
Follow the track and stairs down to the flat rocky ledge.
Put a berley bomb in a potato sack, tie to a rock and let it waft around in the wash at your feet.
Cast only about 20 metres straight out over the rocky bottom with a running rig and fresh piper for bait.
The ideal time to fish this spot is early morning or late evening. Perfect conditions are in a southerly wind with no moon.
A safe and easy place to fish for snapper, kingfish and kahawai.
