Driving Muriwai beach and finding your spot
Hey guys
I have had a lot of questions via my channel and FB if I could put something together on how I drive Muriwai beach and also how I find my spots I like to fish.
Driving Muriwai - Crossing over to the beach is probably the hadest part - I like to cross behind the golf-course as it is pretty much over and done with in a minute. When wet you don't need to ruc=sh as the sand is more firm and hard packed. The softest part is the last 50mtrs or so just as you head over the brow towards the water, as you hit this section pick up a little more speed roughly around 50k's and you should be fine. Summer can be a little more diffacilt as the sand is silky dry smooth so common sense is needed here and driving in tracks already formed makes it a lot easier.
Driving Muriwai is pretty easy and the more you do the easier it will become - the best time is half tide out to half tide in, this gives you a good 6hrs on the beach. If it is a small tide and small swell then you can do an extra hour both sides to give you a good 8hr day.
I don't like driving any later due to having to drive the soft sand around the high tide mark - this is just personal preference but also a lot safer if you are new to it or want to know the best times to do it as safe as possible.
There isn't to much in the way of soft sand when following that tide line you just have to be aware there are some sunken objects that could burst your tyre - you can see these 99% of the time. Watch your speed and road rules apply.
Slow down when approaching other cars, people fishing or animals as you never really know if they have seen you. Be courtesy to other beach goers and defiantly slow right down when children are present.
Fishing - I like to fish further North rather than when you first hit the sand - I think at least 5K's up is the best time to start looking for your spots. Driving the beach at dead low will show you everything you need to see to fish this beach low or high.
Holes are hard to see sometimes when the tide is high but you can still make them out where the water is flat among waves. What happens is waves will break in the shallower water then when it hits a hole or channel the wave will bubble out go flat as it hits that deeper water then reform and break again - the low tide will show you the hole and then you can mark it by placing or noticing something you can use on a sand dune - then as the tide rises and you want to fish through the high come back to your marker knowing there will be a hole straight out in front of it.
The best advice I can give you for finding your spot is make the top of sand dunes your best friend - climbing one on that low tide to mid tide will not only give you a K or two of view along the beach but that view will show you all the channels, gutters, banks and holes.
I hope this little video helps and just remember this is how I do it not stating this is how you have to do it - we all have our own little tricks and times we like to do this.

Fatal Shark attack Muriwai New Zealand
The victim of a fatal shark attack in Muriwai this afternoon was an award-winning television and short film director.
Local father-of-one Adam Strange, 46, has been described by family as a glorious person.
In a statement release tonight, they said: The family are grieving the loss of a glorious and great father, husband and friend.
We are in deep shock and are still trying to contact overseas family members, so discretion and privacy would be appreciated until the family are ready to make any further statements.''
Mr Strange's wife wife Meg was being comforted by friends and neighbours, many who bought flowers to their Muriwai home.
The couple had a baby daughter.
In a biography on his website, Mr Strange said one of his short films, Aphrodite's Farm, set on a dairy farm in the 1930s, had been in 10 international film festivals in seven countries and last year won the Crystal Bear award for Best Short Film at the Berlin Film Festival.
He was also a finalist in the global Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival and the London International Awards.
Mr Strange began making television commercials in 1995 and went on to work as a director for Silver Screen Productions, in Auckland, for more than 10 years.
His work took him all around the world he says on the website, citing Japan, China, Thailand, Malaysia, the US and Europe as some of the places he has worked in.
In his biography he describes his love of the outdoors and spending time with his family.
When I get a spare five minutes, I like to make a fruit smoothy, surf some big waves out on the West Coast, point my skis down a mountain with Meg, haul my mountain bike up and down a few hills, drink some Pinot while scratching away at a film script.
A witness has described seeing a huge shark kill Mr Strange off Muriwai Beach on Auckland's west coast this afternoon.
Police have confirmed they shot and hit the shark, believed to be a great white, but said it swam away.
Pio Mose watched the attack unfold about 1.30pm while fishing with a group of men on the rocks between Maori Bay and Muriwai Beach.
He saw the huge shark attack a man alone swimming from the bay back to the beach about 50 metres from where he was standing.
All of a sudden there was blood everywhere.
The man struggled with the shark before it swam away. He was keeping his head above the water before the shark returned.
I yelled at him to swim to the rocks. There was blood everywhere. The water was red. It's pretty scary.
He said after the second attack three or four other sharks came to the area.
Mr Mose and the other fisherman watched as the shark took the man's body out to sea and when lifeguards eventually arrived they directed them to where the group of sharks were.
The man's body was later retrieved.
It's awful - it's scary like a nightmare to me. I was shaking, scared, panicked, said Mr Mose.
He said he had never seen sharks in the area in the three years he'd been fishing in that spot.
All I was thinking was I wanted to jump in the water and help but I didn't want to get attacked by a shark too.
Mr Mose said those who went out to retrieve the man's body fired about six shots at the shark.
POLICE SHOT AT SHARK
A member of the public called police to report a man under attack by a shark at 1.24pm.
Police raced to the scene by road and the Eagle helicopter was also dispatched.
Eagle crew members spotted the shark while it was still near the man's body. A source told the Herald the Eagle stayed above the shark so police in the IRB could locate it.
Inspector Shawn Rutene confirmed police shot at the shark, measuring about 12-14 feet long, but could not say how many times.
The officer was out on the water in an IRB with three lifeguards - and Mr Rutene said one of them saw a second shark. It was unclear whether the second shark had been involved in the attack.
He said after being shot the shark rolled away, but refused to say whether it was still attacking the man at the time.
Mr Rutene said the victim was a local man. His family were devastated and his wife was being supported by Victim Support and police at the scene.
VICTIM WELL KNOWN TO MURIWAI LIFEGUARDS
Muriwai Volunteer Lifeguard Service chairman Tim Jago fought back tears as he spoke about the fatal incident.
He said the dead man was well known to Muriwai lifeguards - including those who tried desperately to save his life.
Mr Jago would not go into the specific details about what the lifeguards on the IRB with police saw, but he said it was traumatising.
The lifeguards were young, and were being offered support and counselling.
He said it was unusual for sharks to be at Muriwai, especially one this size.
