Good day guys

Famed fishing machine strictly fishing is looking for a 5 man crew to do a mixed trip to the banks.

The plan is to jig, stickbait, live bait and everything in between.

The recent trips have been nothing short of spectacular and we don't expect anything less from this boat.

Big kings are currently hitting surface Popper's like a fat kid does a piece of cake. The Puka are going nuts over jigs hitting them almost 40 m off the bottom, and bigggggggg Pukai too. Base are just waiting for to plant your gear in there cave.

So if you think you are up for a round with the big boys then do get in touch.

The cost is $600 per person for a full day of marauding at the banks.

Get in touch or miss out for a spectacular trip.

Cheers

Kevin Dhillon

Kevin,
This has me screwed mate, I'd be fizzing to come, & $ not the issue, I'm just busting me balls with work and not sure I can fit it in, givin the location its pretty much the whole weekend screwed.
My question is this, is the date a dead set? its just there doesnt seem to be alot of interest sparked here, and its not that far off (not that I know how many PM's you may have got) and I guess if ya don't get the numbers its a no go.
Long story short, I'm 50/50 at the moment, but like ya thinkin. A month later and I'd be a definite.Confused

Not trying to defend the cost at all, but it is a different ball game fishing out on the banks to the Aldermans etc.

I went out with Aaron on Strictly Fishing and was happy to pay the extra for the experience of this unique fishery and the experience of the skipper. He's a bloody good bloke as well.
 
The boat is 8.6 m, has twin 200 hp motors, needs to have 2 dedicated skippers for the survey and when it gets rough out there, which it can do real fast you appreciate being on a boat built to handle it and get back fast if need be.
 
True, you can do two Epic trips for one of these trips, but the below was the result of my first attempt at 'puka fishing, this fish went around 44 kg and could well be a fish of a lifetime...
 
It is up to each to make up their mind about the cost / value of a particular trip, I personally got excellent value for money in terms of the whole experience and the fish to take home.Smile

stop knocking the price guy's $3000 cheap for such a FAMED boat, you could go with other ranfurly boats like pursuit, enchanter, and cascade for much cheaper but they are not experanced or famed as this boat. sounds like a tui add  YER RIGHT

That is correct mate.
 
That includes accomdation and tackle usage. You get out to the banks in less than hour and can fish for a full 8 -9 hour day and be bcak in the same day.
 
Like to see other bigger boats do something even remotely close.
 
Cheers

I agree mate
 
You have to come out and know the boat to know what this machine is capable of.
 
Have fished on numerous boats, would have to say that a day at ranfurly with Aaron on this machine has to be the best so far.
