Fishing in Russell

Russell Fishing Charters offer unparalleled access to the rich waters of New Zealand's Bay of Islands, renowned for its diverse marine ecosystem and year-round angling opportunities. This premier destination is celebrated for exceptional snapper fishing, with abundant populations of 1-2kg specimens commonly found near seafloors, estuaries, and sandbanks. Anglers regularly land trophy-sized kingfish, famous for their powerful fights and frequent presence around the islands' volcanic structures.

The Bay's deep-water game fishing attracts enthusiasts targeting striped, blue, and black marlin during summer months, alongside migratory tuna species and broadbill swordfish. Inshore waters teem with kahawai, trevally, gurnard, and john dory, while crayfish inhabit rocky crevices. Charter options range from family-friendly inshore trips to specialized offshore expeditions, utilizing modern vessels equipped with radar, fish-finders, and GPS navigation for precise angling. With sheltered locations available during rough conditions and convenient Russell boat ramps, the destination combines reliable fishing with breathtaking coastal scenery and significant historical sites.
