New Zealand John Dory Fishing Charters

If you are on your own or with a small group, this is the trip for you. All gear can be supplied, bring your lunch and we'll do the rest. Ten hours is enough time to go fishing for numerous species **hidden content** here. You'll go bottom fishing in up to 80 metres deep for Tarakihi, Snapper, and more. We will fish from the Mount to Tuhua (Mayor) to Motiti islands and everywhere in between.

Join me for a full day of fishing, targeting Snapper, Kahawai, Trevally, Gurnard, John Dory, and, if lucky, Kingfish. We have rods and bait, usually pilchard and squid. Just bring your lunch or snacks, and have a great day on the water. We don't have a BBQ and have always found a cut lunch doesn't take too much time away from fishing. Most of the time, we travel out to search for fish. This is a great time to sit and have tea or coffee and snack and chat.

This private trip is a great way to spend some quality time with your friends and family. Snapper bite well year round, and can grow super big, some even reach 15 kg. You can enjoy a afternoons fishing, then eat your catch at a restaurant that night. There is plenty of shade, so even minors will enjoy it. The boat is spacious, and up to 4 anglers can come. Bring a hat and sunblock and come.
