Latest fishing report

2.6.24

As we move into the colder months species like snapper and kingfish seem to go a bit deeper, sometimes below 100mtrs. We still get them off the shore and close in during the winter butcertainy not as many numbers.

kapiti coast - alot of spiney dogs and red cod have moved in but there still excellent snapper and gurnard fishing in 20-50mtrs on the sand. 

surfcasting has been tougher but theres still the odd nice snapper to be had if you put the time in. Certainly the further north you go, the better your chance on snapper

south coast - theres still a few snapper getting caught in palliser bay off the beach as well as the odd gurnard and trevally. boaties are enjoying a good mixed bag of snapper, trevally, tarakihi and cod with some good hapuku fishing in the deep (if you know the spots)

wgtn harbour - off the shore its mainly kahawai and gurnard with the odd snapper, moki and trevally if your lucks in. Boaties have been really getting into the gurnard particularly from Ward island down to the entrance. The snapper have been harder to find but are still hanging in the 20-25mtrs depths and occasionally in shallower. a good number of blue mackerel are around and therre should be some warehou turning up any time i the next month or so

West coast - some excellent hapuku fishing out wide with soe good snapper and kingfish mixed inwith them as well at some of the 100-150mtr spots. good snapper still around in 50-70mtrs as well as trevally and tarakihi up and down the coast. Shore fishers have had a few JDs from plimmerton wharf recently

Bluefin tuna have been caught off Cape Pallsier on the good days and will continue over the next months for the super keen and experienced fishers. An exceptional fishery but needs extreme caution as its a long way out and gets really rough sometimes against the forecast.

Charters

Boatfishing

I'm primarily chartering on the west coast out from Mana Marina at present

There are four types of trips we commonly book.

Three hour trip targeting snapper, gurnard, tarakihi and kingfish around Mana Isand and Plimmerton. 2hrs fishing time approx. $1200 for the boat or $120pp on a share cost. Tackle hire is $20pp

Four hour trips targeting snapper, kingfish, trevally, gurnard, bluecod and tarakihi in sheltered water. $170pp share cost or $1500 for the boat. Tackle hire is $30pp

Six hour trips which can go a bit further and generally have more consistent fishing. We can also have a shot at some deepwater fishing if you want. Cost $200pp or $1900 for the boat. Tackle hire is $40pp 

Eight hour trips are a mixture of deepwater and inshore fishing. Cost $2400 for the boat. Tackle hire is $50pp. Share cost trips are $250pp

We also travel to the Marlborough Sounds and Durville Island on overnight trips which start at $500pp. We can do a package deal with accomodation, meals and fishing gear if required or you can bring/organize your own.

At the moment there are plenty of hapuku around in the deep with snapper, trevally, tarakihi and gurnard inshore and most other species mixed in for good measure. 

On a 6hr trip we can go south to Makara or north to Hunters bank and sometimes out wide for hapuku. Its generally an inshore fishing trip but we are happy to go deep if everyone on board is keen. 

Our 4hr trips are mainly around Mana island and Pukerua bay. There's good numbers of snapper, trevally, tarakihi and gurnard with the odd kingfish, jd and blue mackerel as well
