FISHING IN WELLINGTON

I will be running boat (ex Mana) and shore charters (south coast) in level 2.

The Rongotai shop is full of stock if you need any supplies.

We will be supplying wholesale 'Southern Bait' products to gas stations, daries, supermarkets and other retail outlets during level 3 but do let me know if your local bait outlet has run out and I'll see if I can top it up.

Latest fishing report

1 Sept 2021

Fishing is great at the moment. Particularly for gurnard in the harbour.

Snapper are still about as well that is pretty weird as we normally expect them to just be gone at this time of the year. There are snapper being caught just about anywhere around Wellington, and in the harbour there’s a huge proliferation of juvenile fish. Give these guys a couple of years and if all goes well there should be some awesome fishing in the harbour. Point Gordon is the place to be currently, the deeper hole off there that drops off around 25 metres seems to congregate them, along with a few decent sized blue cod.

There’s also still plenty of kingfish around, and a good customer of ours managed a nice 30 pounder off the shore on a stick bait recently. Can’t say where as he swore me to secrecy but rocky outcrops are where kingies cruise the weed lines so perhaps persevering with stick baits is worth your while. Big fish off the rocks are always more fun than from a boat and a good kingy on a stick bait is epic action.

There’s a fair few big blue mackerel around that make awesome live kingfish baits or are great smoked or eaten as sashimi.

There’s some excellent cod and terakihi fishing off the south coast now that it has cleaned up and the water is nice and clear.

At the moment there are plenty of hapuku around in the deep, kingfish and snapper inshore (60-80mtrs) and most other species mixed in for good measure closer in.

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 gurnard, trevally and kahawai with kingfish, snapper and warehou turning up sometimes in numbers
