Hi fish freak

if you are using a boat it's easy, get it in the water and head out to sea.

if your land based then its not so easy, you could try opanaki, or waverley, or patea.

Well you're hooked, thats why u r here.

Welcome 2 the forum.

Benders right--everyone here likes photos

 Im usualy a land based fisherwoman, in and around the South Taranaki area and I do rather well, but I thought that I would try something that I had'nt done before, so I booked a date for my husband and I on a charter with Peter Robins (south Taranaki charters), we left from the Patea river, over the Bar and out to sea. What a ride ! The fishing gods were good to us that day, we hooked up on some very large blue cod, 4 awsome snapper, and a kingie that was a centermeter under, so back into the big blue he went for another day, oh well them's the breaks. And after 3.1/2 hours, with big smiles and a full quota we were homeward bound. It was a fantastic day with a brilliant skipper, and Yes we will be doing it again, but to target big kingies next time.
