Charters

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

There are three types of trips we commonly book.

Four hour trips targeting snapper, kingfish, bluecod and tarakihi in sheltered water. $120pp or $1400 for the boat

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. $150pp or $1800 for the boat

Nine hour full day trips are generally hapuku trips with some inshore fishing as well. $190pp or $2300 for the boat

At the moment (September) there are plenty of bluecod and tarakihi around with trevally, warehou, john dory and the odd kingi and snapper being caught. Bluenose are being caught at the Trench. The hapuku are due back around mid to late October from their spawning run

On a 6hr trip we can go south to Makara or north to Hunters bank. The fishing can still be ok during the winter for snapper and kingfish but species like trevally, warehou, bluecod, tarakihi and gurnard are the main catch on the inshore trips  

Our 4hr trips are mainly around Mana island and Pukerua bay. There's still a chance of a big snapper but kahawai, trevally, gurnard, bluecod and tarakihi are a more common catch at this time of the year (Sept - Oct)
