The fishing lately has ranged from great with limit catches of good size snapper and the odd kingfish to very quiet days with a lot of moves required. Often the sounder will be full of snapper sign but very soft and very few bites.
Most of our trips now are long distance beyond the closer islands and often to Corromandel or Great Barrier.
Not targeting these at all. Generally very lack lustre fishing reported.
Has been the best of the closer spots aside from Kauwau. Can be sporadic but there’s a lot of baitfish there and workups whilst short are common.
Aha’s and David rocks are our pick here.
East coast bays saw some absolutely massive workups 2.5 weeks ago but has gone a quiet since. Some nice snapper up to 10lb came out of here with this unseasonal activity. It’s now generally very tough fishing.
Tiri has had it’s moments but shearer is the better option.
A lot of bait, whales and dolphins about. Short lived workups. Anchorite has not fired for us and we are generally finding better fishing midway between Tiri and Anchorite.
Both area providing good fishing for both large snapper and kingfish.

We also love our Kayak fishing and could carry up to 40 kayaks or more so if your a keen kayak fisher let us know and we can look at organising the Ultimate Kayak fishing trip to the Mokes or similar...
Cheers for now
