Fishing at Bayswater/Devonport floating platform


Text fishing??
You can have your own quarter at the fishing floating platform

What if a snapper pull my fishing rod into the water? Btw, behind is the northshore bridge which connect north shore with Auckland city centre. It has totally 8 lanes but it is still jam heavily during the rush hour.


Well, it is sunny and nice weather. Good day for fishing, ai? (ok, I am trying to start using kiwi accent :P ) We went to Devonport/Bayswater floating platform and hope to get a grouper or snapper there :D


If you don't know about Devonport, it is located at the north shore of Auckland and definitely a lovely place to stay (price is lovely too...).

In the end, we didn't get any fish though. It seems they don't like the squid as bait. Other fishermen can catch quite many but they use smelly tuna meat as bait.

After finishing the fishing, we went to Torbay and Albany to watch the area as I am thinking of moving there. Good primary school and second school there, but just a bit far away from city centre as the trend of Auckland usually setup the working place in the city centre. I gotta drive 52KM (return included) everyday to work if I stay in Torbay/BrownBay or Albany. However, this is the same distance from my home to my office when I was in KL.

FYI, you should bring a good sun block. Even it is partly cloudy and we started to fish at 3:30pm - 6pm, I got sun tanned (luckily not sun burnt yet ... I am paranoid to sun burn after my serious sunburn at Kotsamui Island many years ago)
