Well the game fishing season is finished. Its puka time for me. Mayor Island overnighters in the BOP is what I like to do when the weather is right, can be Motiti etc... Snapper in the evenings almost always and ,snorkling or diving an option depending on what we decide.
Its hard to find good reliable fishing buddies as like minded people usually end up with their own boat, and my wife and teenage sons only sometimes want to come.
In the ideal world you would live in Rotorua or there abouts and we would meet 1st,
Im looking for fisherman that don't mind fronting up with their share of the fuel, a bit of food, and their own booze. My 20-foot boat will sleep 3 and is well set up for overnighters. No toilet but it’s a big ocean and if you lean over just right the bidet is free.
So what do you need:
$100 - 150 for fuel depending on trip
A food contribution
sleeping bag, pillow, and what ever you need to make your self comfortable.
Your own fishing gear, an electric reel for the puka is a recommendation if thats what were are targeting, Snorkel or dive gear for Pawa/ crayfish if that what we decide to do.
I am based in Rotoura and leave from tauranga or the kaituna depending on what the plan is. Im a school teacher now and weekends/holidays are my free time usually.
