I truly feel that Michael went out of his way to make the day run as smooth as possible, he even baited the rods as soon as they were wound in he reloaded so we could get back to fishing ASAP.

There are a lot of small snapper, good fun though. also got a really good snapper but don't expect monsters, probably shouldn't expect monsters that close to a city anyway?

take the full day trip, its worth it. Takes some time to get to where you'll fish but the trip out is beautiful and the fish are plentiful.

Fish & Trips is great for a small group that want the entire boat to themselves at a really reasonable & affordable price. Walk on walk off - no worries about having to provide rods & bait (all included). Knowledgeable crew, real fun and with a great day a haul of fish! Well worth contacting them - book now you won't regret it.

We were very lucky to get a sunny day with little or no wind. Perfect conditions

Ocean Catch

If you're travelling from Auckland it's a long drive (3+ hours) so before you leave confirm your booking time by phone so everyone is clear. Our boat didn't have a toilet, which was an issue for one of our party who had to stay ashore and miss the action. Bring a big chilly bin - you'll need it.
