A fishing trip on a boat is a good introduction to fishing in Taupo. Contact Marty for a trip on "Stratus". He can give you some good advice!

Contact captain in advance. Confirm where to meet. Confirm what to bring. You’ll need to pack food, drink, sun screen, hat, and something warm in case the sun isn’t out. If you want music or entertainment other than the fishing, bring that too. Marty has a cheeky, dry sense of humor. We loved it.

Tairua is a great location for fishing, try to plan your trip during the warmer months if targetting kingfish. Snapper are generally all year round although a few better fish caught through the cooler months.
