I love the freedom of the open water, a bit like riding a bike. I became a fisherman because I love challenges and being independent, I passionately don't like captivity and some workplace cultures. I have a trades background and can turn my hand to a lot of things. I like scuba and fee-diving more than fishing but save those for my hobbies.

Alice Oakhill5.0VerifiedHalf Day Trip with Neil
5 Hour Trip (AM) • 5 adultsWe had an excellent morning with Neil. There were 5 of us + Neil, we all had a great time and a good amount of success - we caught kingfish, blue cod, john dory and tarakihi. The weather was a little rough but we felt in safe hands, Neil took us to the best spots appropriate for the conditions. As Neil said, it's a fishing boat, not a fancy take your shoes off boat, so if you're prepared for that I'd highly recommend booking with Neil.
