Kairaki, the mouth of the Waimakariri River. There were a few true salmon fishermen but a lot of "bait fishers", this one included, were after herring, red cod (rare) or kahawai (Australian Salmon). Just the previous day two Kingfish (very rare in Waimakariri River mouth) were caught

Mainly bait fishers with a few salmon spin fishers there too. The day before this photo was taken two Kingfish were caught in the rivermouth, possibly the first time this species has been caught in the Waimak River, although they are a rare catch in summer/late summer around nearby Banks Peninsula.

On the Waimakariri River at Woodstock (where I am), but the boats are accessed from Kowai Bush on south side of river. By road it is more than 50km to get to the other side of the river!
