Looking for a 5 man crew to jump aboard a state of the art 8.6 Metre Senator for the Jigging Tournament on the 30th and 31st of July. The boat is a 8.6 Metre Senator, powered by twin 200hp Yamaha's, kitted out to the extreme with electronics and a secret weapon - Aaron Sargeant of oracle and cascade fame is back, running this machine aptly named "STRICTLY FISHING" out to the banks. Aaron has spent years and years on these grounds and they are like home to him, his experience has been recognised by anglers all over from his years of running a lot of succesfull charter boats.
The best bit about the operation is that with the way it is setup, you get to get out to the banks in an HOUR!!!!! Less travel time = More fishing time = more chance of that big tropy king.
This trip is going to have a day of Jigging at the banks and half a day at the cape runaway. Bring your gear or there is top of the line gear available on board aswel, all based on paying for lost tackle. Accommodation can be arranged but is additional to the cost of the trip. The cost to join the tournament is additional.
The cost is $600 per person for a day on the banks with the Aaron behind the wheel of a fully kitted out fishing machine.
I have fished with Aaron for a number of years now and when it comes to the banks, I dont think there is a BETTER and FASTER operator out there. Maximum value for money and the experience is one worth every cent.
The boat participated last year aswel and won a swag of prizes under the hands of Aaron.

Hey guys, it is for a day and a half for $600. If weather permits we might even spend both those days at the banks. Just have to be back in for weigh in.
Where we launch from is Hick's Bay of east cape. Twin 200s do the rest to get us out there in less than hour usually.
Spend more time fishing than travelling and the speed ensures that when shifting between spots that you arrive there quickly.
