Went fishing with May Marie Charters on December 30, 2022
This is not the best time of year for fishing in the Bay of Islands but it was still a great morning out on the water, and we did bring home dinner. For lots of fish, probably another time (not New Year's peak) better.

At this time of the year, you have to expect that there will be a greater number of boats on the water during holiday time. Fishing is always going to be a hit and miss game. Sometimes they bite and sometimes they do not. Fewer boats probably mean that you may have more success. For me, the lack of fish did not detract from trawling around the beautiful coves and getting enjoyment from the trip as a whole.

Get an experienced captain and look to have a period of tide rising to get best chance of success.

Difficult time of year but still plenty of fish to catch if you put the time in
