Gamefishing Workshop by Sam Mossman

Specialty:

Snapper fishing in is our most popular charter type. Kingfish, Marlin and Tuna fishing is also popular and what we love going after. Hapuka fishing is also an option and multi day trips are no problem.

We move the bulk of our fleet with the seasonal fish movements so we are always close to the action. IE Gulf Harbour from May to June West Haven from Jan to May We always keep at least one boat at either Gulf Harbour or West Haven
