The Marlin season is not far off so don’t miss out, book your tripnow! We caught the first Marlin in New Zealand a couple of  seasons ago and want to do it again…will you be the one?? Read the story and news report about that trip on my blog…it’s a great story

The charter:

Charter ‘Target’, our 11.9m launch, and fish for Marlin, Tuna, Swordfish, Sharks with our experienced, local skipper.

Trips depart from Paihia or Russell about 8 am and return about 4pm. Refreshments and snacks are provided and we can organise lunch for you. Then you will head out to the internationally acclaimed game fishing grounds out from the Bay of Islands made famous by the famous American author and hugely successful fisherman Zane Grey.

Fishing equipment / tackle:

You can bring your own equipment if you like, but you’re welcome to use ours. We use Shimano Tiagra TLD 80 game reels, new rods, custom made lures and everything to IGFA standards so if you do catch that record fish you will go down in official history!

Your skipper will decide, depending on conditions and what has been most successful, on what the best option is on the day…trolling lures, trolling teasers and switch-baiting, using live-baits or dead-baits… targeted to getting you the best results.
