2 The Strand
Whakatane, New Zealand

Book your next trip with Club Talk Fishing Charters and find out what the fishing in Whakatane is all about. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Mick is prepared to put you on fish.

Bluenose Warehou, Hapuka, Kingfish, Albacore Tuna, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Bluefin Tuna, Pink Snapper, Tarakihi, Pink Maomao, Scorpionfish, and more can be found in these waters, depending on the season. You’ll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

You’ll be casting lines from a 35’ Centre cab catamaran that can carry up to 10 passengers. It has outriggers and all the essentials that no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Kids 5 years old and over are welcome, so go ahead and bring the family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available.

Rods and reels are supplied at an additional cost, so ask the captain about bringing your own or renting some of theirs which is already set up. There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count.

You might need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Don’t leave home without lunch, drinks, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Get in touch with Capt. Mick below and start planning your trip today!

We had a great time fishing with Mick and MJ. Very informative and professional on the area and fishing techniques. We were able to get some kingfish and bluenose, he definitely knew where the spots were. They went beyond to accommodate trying to show us a bit of every type of fishing in the area.

Thank Jim, it was great to have you guys come on board! What a great group of people! Very patient, to say the least. On Club Talk Charters we are always thinking out of the box so really glad we still managed to get you all a good feed of snapper, Hard Mahi today but great company.
