Latest fishing report

Fishing report - 24.4.22

Shore - Evans bay has been producing some good snapper this week. Kapiti coast and Palliser bay have been quiet but don’t write them off. Theres still a good chance of numbers and the odd big snapper at this time of year.

Boom rock produced a nice kingi this week.

Makara and Otaki beach are both worth a crack for a kingi as well.

Boat - pretty much everywhere is firing good fish at the moment.

A friend got a nice 20lb snap at paikak last week which he released.

Some big kingis have been caught at hunters, kapiti and boom plus out in the 100 mtr marks on the sth coast.

Rays bream are prolific out west (midwater) on the 70-200mtr reef areas up and down the coast.

Snapper fishing has been good at depths of 15mtrs down to 50 mtrs up and down the west coast and in the harbour from 6-25 mtrs.

Hapuku fishing has been a bit hit and miss but well worth a crack as they are starting to fatten up prior to the winter spawning run.

Its been a real mixed bag lately of trevs, blue mack, gurnard, snapps, JD and the odd kingi inshore fishing around wgtn.

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
