Four hour trip. About 45 minutes to fishing spot where bite was on immediately and never stopped. We didn’t need to move . Four of us caught over 75 fish, mostly snapper under 30cm, several over. Plus some mackerel, a JT and a yellowtail. A lot of fun and captain worked hard keeping us baited and taking our fish off.

Michael & Isabella are amazing hosts. We came from Sydney to try the famous fishing in NZ and they delivered. The spot they took us to had an abundance of snapper, every cast was a bite! On top of that, Michael was very knowledgable and helpful. We recommend anyone who wants to geniunely catch a lot of fish to go with them!

Isabelle and her team took great care of us and we had an awesome time out on the water.  caught more fish than we could count….wish some of them had been big enough to keep!  thanks for accommodating our limited schedule and showing us some of the beautiful areas near the port.

Professional captain, fishing boat, and equipment! We use real fish as bait. We’ve been out at sea for two days—luckily, the weather has been great and the sea is calm. No need to say more—just take a look at my photos.
