We had a great fishing trip with Michael today! He was awesome from start to finish, really friendly, helpful, and knew his stuff. He made sure everyone was comfortable, gave us some great tips, and made the whole experience really fun. His knowledge of the area and passion for fishing definitely made the day memorable. We had a really good time and would definitely recommend Michael to anyone looking for a fun fishing charter. Thanks again for a great day on the water!
We booked this on our last day in New Zealand for our lads, to finish off a boys rugby tour. And what an experience.!! Captin Michael Wang knows all the places to go, over certain reefs etc, and he knows exactly how to fish them, right down to the currents and baiting up tricks. He's an extremely knowledgeable seaman, and been on the water all of his life. You're in great hands with him.!! We were a little pushed for time as had flights to catch, so could only do the 4hr trip, but fishing was hot and Capt Wang wanted us to land a big one before we left so stayed out on the water an extra hour or so. I wasn't expecting much in 4 hours, but omg we had tons.!! Over 50+ Snapper of all sizes, a 2.5ft lemon shark. We did catch a big King Fish, approx 1>1.5m but the line broke and it got away. Even snagged a sea bird. Amazing value for money... and Capt Wang offered to fillet us up some sushi from our catch afterwards, but we didn't have enough time to hang around. Would highly recommend him, will definitely be going again with him if we're ever back in NZ. He was also considerably cheaper than some of the more popular names in the area. 5 Stars 🌟 Thank you Capt Wang 🙏
We had an excellent half day on the water with Michael. As an avid fisherman from Aust our small group appreciated his knowledgeable of the area by putiing us on the fish from the first drop. While the weather wasn’t fantastic (constant rolling swell and pretty heavy winds) 4 of us were able to fish comfortably with Michael looking after all baiting and rerigging required. Our group caught over 50 fish during our 4hrs of fishing. As we are on a cruise from Aust all but 2 were released, which Micheal Sushimi’d for us back at the dock. A great trip and highly recommend!!
Captain Wang is fantastic. I didn’t have high expectations for a 4-hour trip since it’s usually around the harbour, but he went the extra mile to find a great spot, even taking a longer ride. The result was totally worth it, over 20 legal fish for the whole boat within just 2 hours! Captain Wang is friendly, professional, and really knows how to help you catch fish. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great fishing trip. 🎣
My two kids and Dad had a great day out in Auckland - kids had a ball and were super happy to get some NZ fishing in on our holiday. Michael was friendly, accomodating and grear communication. Extended the trip, filleted the catch for our lunch. Boys were stoked - would definitely recommend. Thankyou Michael for going above and beyond ☺️
Thank you very much, captain Michael, for the trip and fishing! It was our first attempt in Auckland, and it was successful. All the gear was provided, as well as clear instructions on fishing techniques. Also we've got a plastic bag and some ice to bring our catch home fresh.
great experience for not experienced fishermen.
Captain can speak both English and Mandarin whichi is much easy to communicate. and fishing experience was wonderful we have catched a 95cm king fish. very lucky and Captain is very perfessional.
What an incredible way to start the New Year. Captain Michael knew exactly where the fish were and we were on as soon as the bait hit the ground. I highly recomned this charter to anyone looking for a great days fishing.
brilliant trip out, we caught a lot of fish in the 4 hours and had some sashimi made by Captain Wang with fish we caught! I will be recommending to anyone I know in the area.
