- Background
- I have lived and fished most of my life in the Bay of Islands. At present living in Russell. My big game fishing career started in 1993 when I owned and operated the 40' Pelin MV Intrepid for several years. Whilst owner I upgraded intrepid to Three Kings survey and had 5 years of amazing fishing at the Kings. While owning the Intrepid apart from several records one of my customers caught the very first Wahoo in NZ waters close in by the Nine pin in the Bay. Hence why my next 4 game boats have been called Wahoo. I have had many years of successful fishing out of the Bay and my customers have won many major fishing contests including the very prestigious yellowtail light tackle. As well as fishing the Bay of Islands I have fished several other parts of the world like Vanuatu and Australia.
- Techniques
- We are specialists in sport fishing for Marlin, Kingfish, Snapper and Hapuka. Wahoo is a NZ Built 12.9 meter twin engine Salthouse Corsair custom built Gamefisher for NZ waters from the Bay of Islands to the Three Kings in the far North. She has an extra large Cockpit and accommodation for 6 passengers for those stay away trips. She is fully equipped with Shimano Tiargra Game reels and Kilwell international rods. All fishing gear is top quality and well maintained. Facilities aboard consist of Shower, toilet, Oven and cook top. Also wahoo has ample fridge and freezer space which is a must for those stay away trips. Wahoo comes well equipped with electronics to find the fish and keep you safe while aboard. Wahoo has been recently upgraded to meet all the latest safety requirements and is surveyed for the East coast and including the Three kings Islands. She is a proven vessel with a pedigree second to none.
