Member since December 2014 Paihia, New Zealand

Background: Having had a love of fishing for over 40 years, and owning my own aluminum boat, I came across an opportunity to buy a charter boat. So, with a life style change and relocating to the Bay of Islands in New Zealand, my wife and I bought Target Charters about 14 years ago and continue to operate in the Bay.

Thanks for review. The crew were more than happy to assist and delighted that William caught a Kingi on his 18th birthday, would love to see you back on board when you are next in Paihia

We had to postpone our trip due to bad weather but it finally lifted and we went out on Sunday, 9/08/2015. Skipper and crew were great and we were onto snapper straight away. The fish were plentiful but mostly just under size. Tried several spots but the hungry little buggers were everywhere. Lots of fun and continuous action. We took home two good eating size snapper which was all we could handle as we were at the end of our trip. Good boat, great crew. Good communication, as we had to reschedule... More

Hi Ray So glad you enjoyed your day especially after having to wait for weather to behave. Yes the Skipper said the fish were plentiful but on the small side but at least you had some fun and got some keepers to sample. If you ever get the opportunity to come back we would love to take you out again, the snapper come in to sporn November/December so that would be a great time to do another Snapper Charter Ross and Frances Taylor Target Charters
