Day 6 - Pacific Ocean: Tangimoana Beach

Okay - the fishing got tough. Following several rainstorms, the local rivers experienced a big push in water. I've run out of options, but luckily (I use that word very loosely) there is a large lake in the vicinity called the Pacific Ocean. Tangimoana Beach is where the Rangitikei Rivers drains into the ocean. There is a big estuary with a narrow channel exiting into the surf. It looks like a fishy place, but the wind was unmanageable. I don't know if I've experienced a windier area. Even with the 9 weight rod, it was difficult casting. Not sure I gave it a fair shake today as I was not able to get onto the water until 4:45. Sorry - No headshots of the fish. It was a nice drive out watching the sun setting through the clouds and rain showers. Tomorrow will be a better day for us fisherman.
