Today is a nice day again. Light wind, smooth sea, a bit cloudy. Bites were active, clients caught 19 snappers and one kahawai. The biggest one is 48 cm long by a kid with light gear. So far, the biggest snapper of 2026 is 60 cm long (caught on 1st of January).

Recently we have done several 4 hours short trips, in Matiatia Bay area. The catches over there were quite good, including big snappers, Trevalley, Yellowtail Kingfish, etc. Meanwhile big sharks are active as well—-Lemon sharks. We have released them successfully. When the weather is good we usually arrange open water trips. Over there the depth of water is about 40 meters, where there are more opportunities to catch different kind if fish, as well as decent size yellow tail kingfish. You are welcome to book our trips, and looking forward to seeing you on the water in Hauraki Gulf!
