I have been on this charter several times, but not recently. You go out from the Kaikoura coast (20min north of Kaikoura) and steam out to the deep water groper and trumpeter fishing. I've seen 50lb+ groper caught and if you are unlucky not to catch a groper (unlikely), the blue cod are HUGE. The added attraction is seeing albatross follow the boat (also called Albatross) and picking up the craypots on the way home for a feed of crayfish.
![]() A lot of this comes down to YOUR personality...if you often get bad charters...maybe it's not the skipp. The reverse is also true - it's amazing how far people will go out of their way if they like you. |
![]() you telling me the skipper got juiced ,he should be shut down from operating thats is dam crazy and irresponsible |

I hope the charter is as good as it was a few years ago as it was AWESOME!!! The skipper was very attentive and was always checking up on his guests needs or giving advice. The price was cheap and included a nights stay at a farm cottage so that you could be ready for 6:30am departure. |
