At the far nor-eastern corner of the Gisborne district looking across the vast Pacific Ocean there’s fishing galore at Hick’s Bay and it’s a good place to start a leisurely 186km fishing road-trip down the Gisborne Coast. There’s safe fishing from the Hinemaureau Hicks Bay Wharf and the firm sandy beach is perfect to launch a boat from to access the beautiful clean beaches and their abundance of in-shore, rock and scuba fishing and diving. No boat? Hire a charter because it’s an hour to Ranfurly Banks, 25 nautical miles from East Cape, a top fishing spot where there’s big hapuka, kingfish, terakihi, and marlin and tuna in the game fishing season.
