    Uscita di pesca perfetta

    Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata (PM) • 4 adulti

    Abbiamo avuto un'uscita di pesca perfetta. Il capitano Jason è stato una guida eccezionale, che ci ha portato in posti fantastici per pescare. Ogni membro della famiglia ha fatto la sua cattura, alcuni anche più pesci ottimi. Alla fine abbiamo portato a casa il nostro "Snapper" pulito e sfilettato e lo abbiamo preparato per cena. Grazie mille per il meraviglioso pomeriggio!

    Julian e i suoi figli hanno avuto la fortuna dalla loro parte in questa uscita, con ottime condizioni e dei bei pesci portati a bordo. Hanno pescato tutti, e anche qualche bell'esemplare! I ragazzi erano super rilassati a bordo, il che aiuta sempre quando si pesca, e spero di rivederli presto.

    Strikezone è fantastica

    Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata • 2 adulti

    Jason ha fatto il possibile, pescando esche vive durante la notte prima della nostra uscita e facendo tutto il necessario per farci fare una bella pescata - e per giunta una persona fantastica. Una mattinata molto piacevole in acqua. Riprenerei senza esitazione.

    Risposta del Capitano

    Amanda e suo figlio Harry sono stati un vero piacere averli a bordo. Sono rimasto molto dispiaciuto che il pesce non abboccasse per loro. Nonostante avessimo pescato tutta la notte per procurarci delle esche vive per la nostra uscita, i kingfish avevano la bocca ben chiusa; dopo ore di pesca nei punti solitamente più produttivi, abbiamo dovuto arrenderci e dire che era una di quelle giornate. Se mai ti ritrovi di nuovo da queste parti, Amanda, non esitare a contattarmi: porterò Harry a fare un altro tentativo a un prezzo fortemente scontato. In bocca al lupo. Capt Jason

    Guida di pesca altamente consigliata a Tairua

    Uscita di pesca di un'intera giornata - Ricciola del Pacifico • 2 adulti

    Jason (Strikezone) è una guida fantastica. Questa era la nostra seconda volta a pescare kingfish a Tairua ed è stata incredibile. Pesci bellissimi, tanta azione, scenari mozzafiato, conversazioni piacevoli e una barca molto comoda con una buona attrezzatura

    È stato un piacere avere di nuovo Margot e Paul a bordo dopo 6 anni. Catturare il pesce vivo come esca è stato un lavoro duro e impegnativo, ma ne è valsa la pena, perché le ricciole erano in gran forma: abbiamo portato a bordo diversi esemplari di taglia e ne abbiamo persi altri dopo un combattimento entusiasmante. Una pesca davvero emozionante! Speriamo di rivedere presto Margot e Paul..

    Un'esperienza incredibile

    Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata (mattina) • 2 adulti

    Pescare con Jason è stato incredibile, molto organizzato e sapeva il fatto suo. Sembrava troppo facile! Abbiamo passato una grande giornata e abbiamo agganciato un bel po' di ricciole del Pacifico

    Robert e Amber sono stati fantastici ad averli a bordo quella mattina e che azione incredibile hanno avuto. Meno male che siamo usciti di mattina perché il pomeriggio era morto. Bravi ragazzi! ..

    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..

    8th November 2025.. this time of year is usually hard on the fishing front as we are bang in the middle of spring and summer, with algae blooms everywhere and cold water still around but this November so far is different with the offshore water clear and blue and teaming with hungry snapper! My crew of 3 heading out to the Aldermen Islands in search of the normally elusive November snapper and upon reaching the islands it was clear there was very little current and a breeze from the south which usually spells disaster on the fishing front. We moved around to afew different locations until we the slightedt bit of flow out the back of the boat but thats all we needed with the 1st baits getting snaffled up not long after hitting the water. The next few provided much of the same with solid fish coming aboard consistently throughout the morning. Everyone taking home a good feed with many, many nice fish released to fight another day...

The water is hotting up and so is the fi

Italian angler Libero and his wife Sonia booked us for a honeymoon fishing adventure and what a great day it was! The plan was to fish solely with lures so off we set with a full arsenal up in the rocket launcher. 1st drop onto a deep reef produced the biggest fish of the day, a 40 pnd kingfish smashing the jig on the first drop, another big fish hitting the jig afew drops later that pulled alot of line before pulling the hook. Next a sizable barracouta before we headed into some shallower ground where we caught multiple snapper, pink maomao and even a big squid. At days end we headed in with a thousand casts behind us and memories made for life..

Big kingfish in the 11th hour!!

set 25, 2025 • Tairua
Will Barnett from San Diego USA only had time for a short half day morning trip but his dream was to catch a 40-50 pound yellowtail kingfish. Bait was a little hard to catch but we manzged to secure about a dozen jack mackerel before hesding to a reef that holds some nice kingfish at times. Sure enough 1st bait in the water nails a nice little 15 pnd king that grts returned quickly back home. Next bait hooks a monster of a kingfish that steamrolls Will into the reef leaving us dussapointed but also excited. Next bait again hooks a large kingfish and as the fish comes into view a 400pnd bronze whaler shark comes out of the depths to engulf our kingfish before our eyes! Running low on baits and time we move to a spot 2 mins from the boat ramp and upon putting the bait in the water it immediately gets monstered by a yet unseen fish. Lucky we were still over a sandy bottom with no chance of getting reefed so after a battle of 15 mins the huge kingfish comes into view and what a monster it was! Making the decision to keep this one fish we hauled it aboard. The smile says it all! Well done Will!

Snapper moving inshore

set 22, 2025 • Tairua
Its that time of year when the Snapper start there migration to the spawning grounds and spring is a great opportunity to take advantage of there good numbers on the open ocean beaches. On a recent trip with an Aussie client we unfortunately had much windier weather than the forecast suggested making fishing tough but looking at the Simrad electronics there were certainly plenty of fish showing. We caught fish in the inclement conditions and left wondering how we would've gone had the conditions been in our favour!
