Background: Capt. Mila runs trips out of Auckland aboard a 28’ WaveDancer Extreme 850. These waters are known for Pink Snapper and Trevallies and she will show you how to catch them, whether you're jigging or bottom fishing. With years of experience, she has a trick or two up her sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join her out on the water!

We live in California but fish all over, and were pleasantly surprised with how much fun we had on a quick 1/2 day charter. Captain Michael was great and put us on the fish pretty quickly. Its a beautiful run out to the fishing grounds as well. I was even able to land a King Fish on some light tackle…super fun! We had a cooler full at the end of the afternoon we were able to donate to the wonderful folks at The Kai Ika Project. Absolutely recommend this charter company.

Professional captain, fishing boat, and equipment! We use real fish as bait. We’ve been out at sea for two days—luckily, the weather has been great and the sea is calm. No need to say more—just take a look at my photos.

Michael & Isabella are amazing hosts. We came from Sydney to try the famous fishing in NZ and they delivered. The spot they took us to had an abundance of snapper, every cast was a bite! On top of that, Michael was very knowledgable and helpful. We recommend anyone who wants to geniunely catch a lot of fish to go with them!

Throughly enjoyed ourselves caught plenty of fish in a very well run operation. The captain Michael was very good at keeping us all baited up, answering all our questions and on the fish all day. Michael keeps a clean and tidy boat which makes the experience all the more enjoyable. Highly recommended Michael and Niko
