Rapports de pêche frais Nouvelle-Zélande

Its been a summer of two halfs with lots of rain and wind but also some stunning days along with it. The fishing has been abit the same however id say overall its been tough going generally. Nothing has been consistent probably due to the increment weather and changeable sea conditions. Highlights over the last couple of months have included a stunning 50 kg Yellowfin Tuna caught by Guy Littlefair on a live jack mackerel set for a kingfish...what a surprise that was! Jori from Finland landed a beautiful 20 kg plus kingfish the other day to take out one of the bedt kingfish so far this summer. Snapper fishing has been very good and consistent bucking the trend so nothing really to complain about. There is still plenty left in this summer to go and traditionally the next few months are the best..

Max and Lucy from the USA join3d us for a day on the water with the wish list being kingfish. Despite spending quite some time trying to catch livebaits they just weren't playing ball so the call was made to jig out on some of the deeper reefs. Despite Max and Lucys efforts the kingfish just weren't playing ball. We moved onto plan B where we would chase snapper around the islands with softbaits which also proved hard going until Max hooked a freight train that took a heap of line but with Max's skills he expertly played this huge snapper to the boat where oncevonboard we couldnt believe the size! A true trophy size snapper that saved the day for us on an otherwise hard days fishing. Well done Max you certainly caught one of the better snapper we have seen for quite some time..

What a lucky day it was! Feb 14, 2026: Sail GP racing in Auckland. Valentine’s day Dragon boat racing event near Rangitoto Island. And the client caught a 90 cm long kingfish.

Today is a nice day again. Light wind, smooth sea, a bit cloudy. Bites were active, clients caught 19 snappers and one kahawai. The biggest one is 48 cm long by a kid with light gear. So far, the biggest snapper of 2026 is 60 cm long (caught on 1st of January).

It's another good day.

Recently we have done several 4 hours short trips, in Matiatia Bay area. The catches over there were quite good, including big snappers, Trevalley, Yellowtail Kingfish, etc. Meanwhile big sharks are active as well—-Lemon sharks. We have released them successfully. When the weather is good we usually arrange open water trips. Over there the depth of water is about 40 meters, where there are more opportunities to catch different kind if fish, as well as decent size yellow tail kingfish. You are welcome to book our trips, and looking forward to seeing you on the water in Hauraki Gulf!
