New Zealand Fishing Reports

Do it. Kaikoura is a great spot for fishing and usually always go home with a good amount of fish

Book with a reputable and experienced charter and try to find a spot on the boat at the rear.

Listen to the instructions from the skipper and the deckhand.

The fishing is unbelievably good here. We caught Snapper and Kingfish on a six hour trip which for us on our first time fishing here was spot on. Next trip though we will go for the big game fishing charters targeting Marlin and Tuna.

We picked Koura Bay fishing charter as they were recommended to us by my cousin who did a 2 hr fishing trip last month with them. Both 1st time anglers as we were ! They were very happy with the fishing experience, the service and the catch. We shared the same sentiments. Very experienced Captain Andy and crew. Great time. Would have been heaps better if the Mrs didn't get sea sickness !!

Choose a service like Thomcat they were great

Lots of options for fishing charters & awesome place to go fishing!

I would recommend you go with Tauranga marine charters as the capt. is very active at chasing the fish.

Take a warm fleece and maybe a sandwich to eat But apart from that Captain Nick did it all for us

Dress warm and be prepared for an absolute experience!
