Not long got home from a fantastic trip north to the beutiful Hokianga. Such a stunning harbour and surrounds that holds a very special place in my heart.

Conditions were fantastic and saw us fishing both out on the coast and inside harbour.
Over the 3 days we caught 11 species between us. Plenty of boats going wide for game fish with various tuna species being boated. A friend landed a big yellow fin at 100m from a double hookup.

I travelled to the far north to Dad’s marae in Kohukohu. Our whānau had mahi to do at the marae. 


I couldn’t help but take my kayak and fishing gear to test the local waters, and boy, fishing was tough!  I found a honey hole and dropped baits, sb and microjigs on top of the fish, but I couldn't get a single bite!  


So far I fished 3 harbours in 3 weeks.  Manukau, Ohiwa and the Hokianga. And not a single fish worth taking home.  Unbelievable!  


In saying that, there are some potential spots to target in the warmer months, but most importantly, it was great to reconnect with Dad’s whānau and marae. I’ll be coming back more frequently.

Good report their Jeremy. It's easy to see how skippies can be swimming past that wharf when you're almost looking towards Australia from the end of it. Landing any sort of kingfish from it on any sort of tackle is going to take a whole lot of luck though. I saw that corner of the harbour on a clear bluewater day and noted there were reefs all around the wharf, not to mention the high poles of the wharf itself. A good place to lose some line ]]> Wed, 28 Jan 2015 13:28:12 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=106889&PID=1526923&title=hokianga-harbor#1526923 <![CDATA[Hokianga harbor : Good report troutzilla, I will...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=106889&PID=1526770&title=hokianga-harbor#1526770 Author: SNOWKIWI

Good report troutzilla, I will be heading up there for ten days or so early Feb, so nice to know the fish are still there!

Lovely shots and story, Jeremy.

I think Craig wrote a while ago that skippies once hung around under a wharf in the Hokianga for quite a while, and the locals had a ball catching them amongst the piles!

I once looked down from the carpark on the South Head and saw two beautiful kings cruising sedately in the shallows. I sprinted down the track, setting up my rod and reel as I ran. Of course, by the time I got down they'd moved off or didn't want my Rapala. Still a memorable evening.
