Now consider how the ladder may have got there.

I'll admit that I try to think i'm not really scared of anything physical (existential is a different story), but it took me a solid 20 minutes after setting it up to set foot on it.
To be fair, that drop isn't just a physical threat, it looks like an existential one too.

A buddy of mine in NZ is planning a trip to this spot:

http://kakapoint.com/seal_rock.html

He'll be casting into water almost 50m deep. I've fished easier ledges within a couple of kms of that rock, I've looked down at it and said "f$%! that."

It's in this general area if anyone's ever there

It fascinates me when people refer to a secret spot then post where it is on the internet.

NZ has some seriously good LB fishing, bucket list for me would be to do something like this....

Wasn't expecting it to be down that end of the country, not a lot of the typical LBG target species down there.

I didn't post where it is. The guy who called it a secret spot said it is near Long Point, which is what I posted coordinates to. It isn't actually on Long Point.

I found it from the pics he posted in less than 3 minutes. I'm not talking about you but rather about whoever wrote the article you linked. Freaking awesome looking spot.

I’ve fished a lot of that coast from Kaka Point down to Waikawa and tbh I’ve never considered it a game fishing area, the big fish there tend to be far too big to be messing with. It’s a great area for filling the freezer though, plenty of good eating fish.
