ACCESS

On foot

No boat needed

GETTING THERE: Public wharf in Miners Bay village on Mayne Island, with parking along Fernhill Road and a ramp straight down to the float. Strong Active Pass current runs past the dock head, so fish the slack and the first of the flood.
HOW IT'S FISHED: Vertical jigging beside the float
