Pernell TurnerRepeat anglerNew Zealand•Member since 2023•3 trips5.0VerifiedOutstanding 6-Hour Charter with Wahoo Sports Fishing
6 Hour Trip – Kingfish • 4 adultsWe did the 6-hour fishing charter with Wahoo Sports Fishing, and it was hands-down the best charter I’ve ever been on. Andy is a proper sea dog — looks the part, knows the water inside out, and honestly feels like he’s half fish himself. You can tell straight away you’re in safe, experienced hands. His local knowledge and calm confidence set the tone for the whole day. Chris, the deckhand, was right onto it. The two of them work with a really slick system — everything ran smoothly, rods were always ready, lines were managed well, and there was zero chaos even when things fired up. You could see how well they’ve worked together. What really blew us away was catching absolute monster snapper while jigging for kingfish — something I’d never done before. Learning new techniques and landing fish like that made the day next-level. Epic fishing, great crew, well-run operation. Couldn’t recommend Wahoo Sports Fishing highly enough — we’ll 100% be back.

4 Hour Trip – Snapper • 5 adultswe had a great fishing trip today with Andy and his deck hand Mark. I recommend this operator to any group they run a very clean professional operation and know where the fish are. Very comfortable boat and they took care of all our baiting and unhooking needs. 10 out of 10.

9 Hour Trip – Big Game (MAX 6) • 4 adultsgreat boat and size for a full day out. Andy & Chris were super friendly and experts about the local waters and fishing. No luck with the Marlin but we had to give it a go and we caught some great fish in the end. amentities in board were as advertised and the boat was very well maintained. it was a great experience and well worth it. thank you guys.

4 Hour Trip – Snapper • 6 adultsThank you Andy and Mark for making our family charter a wonderful experience. Two of our group had never fished before and both caught plenty-including three trophy size snapper. However, the highlight was catching kingfish on our “snapper” charter. Overall - a 10 out of 10 experience.

What's biting with Andy Mcgaughey Sportsfishing in Paihia
Spring is on its way, and the fishing is about to change. For now, your time is best spent casting lines close to shore for Snapper, Kahawai, Trevally, and more.
