    A true professional!

    Full Day Trip offshore • 2 adults

    I had the absolute pleasure of fishing an 8 hour charter with Fish n Dips. Skipper Roy is an absolute beauty! I had never tried stick baiting before. Roy taught me how to cast, work the stick bait and after a couple hours of honing my skills i was able to catch a 35-40lb Kingfish completely on my own. Roy netted it of course! If I ever get back to Auckland, Roy and I will fish again! Amazing day!

    Great day

    Full Day Trip offshore • 2 adults

    Fish n dips is very stable and fast boat that brings you rapidly in the fishing zones. Captain Roy is fishing here for a long time and he knows exactly where you have to go, depending on the weather, the stream and water temperature. He is very patient and provides you with all the tuition you need to have a good fishing day, even with the music you might have on board ! We had great fun with him.

What's biting with Fish n Dips Charters LTD in Auckland

As if out of the blue, the fishing kicks in for real in October in Auckland. The fish are spawning and feeding up aggressively, with Kingfish coming up from the bottom to chase jigs, poppers, and stickbaits at the top of the water. Snapper fishing is as good as it gets.
