About The Fishing Website

The Fishing Website was launched in 1997 to cater for the recreational anglers in New Zealand and to provide information for international visitors looking for more background on our fantastic fishery.

 

Around a million New Zealanders fish twice or more each year in and The Fishing Website provides much of the information and services required to make their experience as safe, enjoyable and productive as possible.

 

The Fishing Website is now New Zealand's leading fishing website in terms of traffic and quality of content. We work closely with NZ's main fishing related organisations such as the NZ SportFishing Council, and the Anglers and Casting Association, and various publications to keep content fresh and relevant. The Fishing Website reached a "Magic Million" visits for the first time in a calendar year in 2008 and our 2009 stats showed 50,000+ unique visitors a month. The 2010 web traffic exceeded 2.2 million visits and almost 20 million page views.

 

The site contains reports and news sent in from charter operators and fishing guides from around the country; up to the minute weather; tide and moon phase information; advice and information from the some of our leading fishing writers; an e-commerce shopping facility; classified ads; links; a comprehensive listing of charter operators; sub-sites for every affiliated fishing club in the country and a very active and informed Fishing forum.
