coral · #1 (**permalink**) 24-03-2008, 15:20

Four of us went fishing in New Zealand at the north island from 17th to 21st March 2008.

Fishing report:

Day 1 - weather was bad. Caught 4 king fishes before we gave up due to big waves

Day 2 - excellent weather. Caught almost 90 kingfishes and lost 30 due to busted lines and drop off as we were using barbless hooks. Almost non-stop action. Lost 15 jigs in total

Day 3 - weather was bad. Caught 5 snappers, 1 grouper and 2 leather jackets in 3 hours before we gave up.

Day 4 - weather improving. Caught about 30 king fishes before we gave up due to the waves

Day 5 - caught almost 50 king fishes in 4 hours and dropped about 20 more. Lost about 10 jigs

Lost about 25 jigs in total

Great fishing - almost incredible and really really excellent

Largest fish caught was almost 20 kgs

5 fishes were eatten by bronze whaller sharks that were about 10 feet long. These sharks are very fast swimmers.

congrats to Coral and the team for the success fishing trip in North island, New Zealand...what would be the cost of renting a boat for 4-5 days fishing trip in New Zealand?

Hi Coral, thanks for the CR.... and congrats to you guys !

NZ is one of the dream place for every jigger for Yellowtail Kingfish...
Mind to share, which part you went, 3 kings ?
And it's the same with mpangari question, how much for the boat ? Is it daily basis or as a package ?

Thanks in advance....

p.s: how about hapuka, caught any ?

hallo Pak L,

Karena mancing sendirian dan untuk berhemat, pernah mancing yellowtail dari satu kota kecil, Tairua, tidak jauh dari Auckland. Sewa kapal speed aluminium, kapal kecil 6m lebih dikit, tapi safe, sehari NZ 650 dollar termasuk makan siang. Service lumayan, ikan dibersihkan dan di fillet untuk bawa pulang
