Snap Fishing Ventures – Sports II

895 Laurie Southwick Parade
Whangaparaoa, New Zealand

Do you catch yourself fantasizing about being surrounded by azure waters as a big fish bites and the reel screams? A trip with Snap Fishing Ventures is no dream and it looks just like that!

Come on down to New Zealand and climb on board their 30’ performance fishing boat. Once aboard, Skipper Nik Key will welcome you with a big grin and all the angling advice you may need. You can bring 7 fishing buddies with you to share in this angling paradise.

Once out on the water, you’ll be the one grinning because you will go after all the top stars of the local waters. Saltwater action gets really hot when you’re targeting Kahawai, Pink Snapper, Silver Trevally, John Dory, and Gurnard. If you’re up for a challenge and want to flex your fishing muscles, you can go after Yellowtail Amberjack.

The skipper will take you up to 60 miles away from the coast, mixing up bluewater action with fishing coastal waters. You’ll be looking for mammals and birds eating baitfish to find the best fishery.

Nik will provide you with all the tackle you may need. Snap Fishing Ventures is involved in testing and refining lures for the market – they even write articles for NZ Fishing News Magazine on what they’ve discovered!

Whether you want to treat yourself to a unique experience or you’re planning a surprise for your family, booking a trip with Snap Fishing Ventures is the right move!

About the Captain

Nik Key
Whangaparaoa, New Zealand
2 Fishing Reports
Response time 13 hours
Member since July 2016
Captain Nik has fished the stunning waters of the Hauraki Gulf since he was a kid. With over 40 years experience on the water, he is not only passionate about fishing, but also about being at one with nature on the open sea. With many years’ experience fishing the local waters all year round, Nik has a thorough understanding both of how the area fishes, and why. Nik started fishing with softbaits and metal lures in about 2004, and has never looked back. He and his team took home the inaugural prize at the first ever Berkley Gulp softbait competition in New Zealand in 2007, and were at the forefront of developing this technique in the local area. Nik takes pride in sharing his knowledge of fishing with softbaits that he gained from 12 years of intensive lure fishing.
