Captain Marty and his boat are top shelf - he was friendly, informative, and clearly knew what he was doingโฆ.after only 30 minutes of not catching any fish, he made some adjustments and we ended up with more fish than we could eat!ย Everyone in the boat caught oneโฆ.then he cleaned and packaged them up for us, including some recipe suggestions.ย Highly recommend!!!
This was an absolute fantastic experience especially for my husband and I who are beginners (never gone fishing before)
Marty was patient and very friendly - explained to us how to set up, and what each equipment was for.
We caught quite a lot of trout but decided to take home 4 to smoke and for dinner :)
Not to mention, lake Taupล is simply breathtaking! Would highly recommend Marty and this experience to everyone.

We caught so many frish we couldnโt believe it. And it seemed we had the lake to ourselves for the first 2 hours.ย Marty even took us out to see the Maori rock carvings which was very special. It was a wonderful experience not only fishing but watching the weather shape shift around the late. From mist to rain to sunshine.ย All in all a very worth while morning.
Excellent day out, easy going.ย We were 2 adults and 2 10โyear olds.ย We caught 6 trout but could only keep 3 due to size.ย Marty is a patient, kind, knowledgeable and chilled captain.ย He answered a lot of my kidsโ questions!ย Definitely would recommend him.
Tip - If youโd like your trout smoked at a local butcherโs, then you need to be there by 3pm to deliver the trout in order to pick up your fish the next day.ย Otherwise the butcher can courier to you.

My family enjoyed a fantastic morning on the water with Captain Marty, catching seven trout to keep, missing a couple and letting a couple smaller ones go. The boat was very comfortable with plenty of space to move around for our family of four. Marty was very knowledgeable and was great with our boys.
