WikiCatchLake Grassmere / Kapara Te Hau
Marlborough, New Zealand · sea
Lake Grassmere / Kapara Te Hau, on the coast of Marlborough, New Zealand, is a saltwater spot best fished around the change of tide. Casting from the shore, look for any seam where deeper water meets shallow — the edge of a sandbar, the lip of a reef, the corner of a harbour entrance. From a boat, you can drift the same edges, dropping lures or bait into the strike zone with each pass.
