Wouldn’t you just love to spend time on the water with some of the people that know just about every nook, cranny and top spot in the Hauraki Gulf?
Well now you can. Nautic Encounter's 'Fishing with the experts' trips gets you out on the water with an expert who has spent more than his fair share of time fishing and getting to know our very own Hauraki Gulf intimately.
John is one of the acknowledged experts in the field of softbait fishing, and writer for a number of fishing magazines and The Fishing Website. He will enable you to make sense of the many options available in softbaits, the ways to fish them, together with the advantages of using the specialised tackle such as super braid and light graphite rods. Enjoy a day packed with information, blow out the winter cobwebs and get the low-down on how to master this very exciting and effective form of fishing..
Bruce is well known through New Zealand fishing circles being involved in Spot X publications where he shares his top fishing possies, along with his books that are regarded as everyone’s bible for fishing the Hauraki Gulf. His vast experience is derived from many years of pursuing his passion of stray-lining in close around the Gulf Islands. Winter is the time of the year when the big snapper can be caught in the rocky shallows not far from the central city. Your investment in one of these trips will reap ongoing dividends from your winter fishing trips – Bruce will show you some likely spots in close – rather handy in view of the rising cost of fuel.
