User:The F Spot (Fishing)

Hi my name is Mick Forrest I am here to pass on some of knowledge that I have learnt over the 30+ years of fishing and the experiences that I have come across. I lived in Lennxtown beneath the Campsie Fells in Glasgow Scotland for 26 years and fished the Lochs and rivers of Scotland

When the plane landed here in New Zealand 14 years ago I couldn't’ believe my eyes! Wow what a wonder land of fishing I thought to my self as I came over the top of the Cherrywood Hill. All I could see at the bottom as the magnificent sight of the Tauranga harbor. The water was so still not one ripple to be seen the water was the perfect colour of blue. I said to my self this is my new Playground! There is no question that New Zealand contains some of the greatest Salt Water Game fishing, Land-Base and Freshwater in the world.

Best of all is the fact that it can be found almost anywhere throughout the country and especially in and around our Extensive Harbour in the Bay Of Plenty, if you are happy to fish for different games species, you can come twelve months of the year. I have done all the salt water game fishing and fresh water all over the north Island I also been Deckie on the Bays busiest recreational Fishing charters but have gave this up to achieve my own goals.

I have now opened The F Spot in which the Novice too the experience Angler can come and try Salt-Water Fly Fishing around the Tauranga Harbor from land base and kayak base fishing. If you have not tried this amazing way of fishing you really need to come and give it a go.

It’s pleasant, relaxing experience and easy to learn all you need is confidence and a can do attitude all gear supplied
