Our fishing trips …
A full-day fishing trip
7am-4pm
Out in the deep-water canyons targeting bass, blue nose and hapuka. The full-day trips are a great adventure. We also have time to target tarakihi, kingfish and blue cod on these trips.
Six-hour fishing trips
7am-1pm or 2pm-8pm
Targeting inshore areas for tarakihi, blue cod, kingfish, snapper and other species. Fishing around Wellington’s south coast areas or the Mana coasts depending on best weather options.
Four-hour harbour fishing trips
Calm waters and fun fishing. Harbour trips are great for kids, families and groups. Relaxed and comfortable, fishing for gurnard, kahawai, elephant fish, trevally and other species.
D’Urville Island and Marlborough Sounds fishing trips
For an amazing fishing adventure that’s close to home, a multi-day trip across the strait to D’Urville Island or the Marlborough Sounds is hard to beat.
Giant blue cod, tarakihi, groper, snapper, kingfish – D’Urville and the Sounds has something for everyone’s fishing tastes. We usually do 3-4 day trips to D’Urville staying at the D’Urville Wilderness Resort, and 2 day trips to the Marlborough Sounds staying at Furneaux Lodge – but we can structure a trip to suit your groups preferences. The hunting and diving are great over there as well.
Did we mention the diving around the Marlborough Sounds … ?
