Probably easiest for you to join the North Shore Kayak fishing club. They have regular Sat/Sun fishing days Whangaparoa and north. I know they are doing a fishing day this Sat from Jones Bay/entrance to Tawharanui

Well done mate, Thats a bloody beauty. Must have gone 15kg?

The entire initial shipment of Fusion 480's are sold out before arriving in NZ!!!! Going to be big demand for that kayak

Far out!!! That's a mean paddle. Must have been 60km or more either way.

That look like a real beauty. Looks in great condition with some nice add ons. Someone is going to be a happy new owner. If I didn't already have my beloved Stealth 555 that would be a great option.

Just a simple 20L water container. Splosh it liberally all over the kayak before putting it on the roof. I got one of those fancy pants systems with a water tank connected to the cigarette lighter which works alright. But quite frankly just a 20L container of water is both cheaper and quicker and do...

Yeh its an awesome spot with lots of options and will be back there over Waitangi weekend. I used to think that fishing around Stevensons was 'the bomb' but from multiple experiences and chatting to other fishos its not as 'hot' as you would logically think perhaps because it has been hammered hard ...

Bwahahahaha..there's some serious brand representation going on there. Kingy hunting is 'on' for tomorrow morning 5am. The damn wind has tapped off for the morning By all accounts, and from my recent missions its still hit & miss with the green backs....lets hope they are 'switched on' tomorrow ...

Not my video at all. I just thought it was super cool with fantastic drone footage

Yeh. Really looking forward to doing a mission off Port Charles/Stoney Bay/Little Bay/etc at end Jan...Hopefully the fish have finished all their spawning activities and the fizzz boats are not so abundant and I can land a few decent ones. No never done Piha but keen to give it a go on a calm day. M...

wow, kool trip report there mate love it up there...have only rock & 10ft boat fished it you're pretty lucky you got out, usually there's dumpers on that beach even on a calm day have seen quite a few yakkers who fish in close to where you were & done well... like you did... into the Trevs ...

Check out - https://bountyhuntercharters.co.nz/ go to the kayak fishing tab. 5 day trips to G.Barrier and Mokes around $900 all inclusive - The guys who have been on it rave about it. He also does 1 day trips to Little Barrier - I've done three and loved them. Thats my old Green and White Stealth 52...

I don't think there is one correct strategy for fighting big fish in the shallows and over gnarly foul. There seems to be two schools though either 1) Gently gently playing the fish which means backing off on the drag and letting it run and then slowly and gently bringing it in OR 2) Crank the drag ...

Noice! Do you reckon with even more drag on the bigger slammers you'd have stopped that moocher in time? Possibly. Its always difficult in skinny water (7m) especially when there is a gentle take, which is pretty typical with a big one, and then all of a sudden they wake up and you realise you have...

Just back from a wonderful four day long weekend break up at Tauranga Bay Holiday Park which I can highly recommend if you haven't been there before. Lovely camp site and a great beach to launch off (if the surf isn't big). It was great to unwind and long overdue Friday arvo and Sat morning missions...

Is it just me or does it seem like they are paddling these things over from SA? For some reason I thought they were due here last month but haven't seen any news of them arriving? I'm not buying a fusion but very keen to see how they compare to others. Apparently early/mid Dec now...a lot of people...

Awesome morning by the looks. Did ya get a length or weight of your snapper? I had a similar morning yesterday out of Army Bay. Few small snaps for dinner, the brightest goat fish I've ever seen and a donkey snap (around 16lb) not to mention a cheeky johnny! It was my first time seeing a goat fish ...

I have been catching a few rat kingis over the last few outings and I was so keen to get that first legal kingi for the season. I made for an early start, on the water at before six enjoying the sunrise but the baiting so very slow. I was expecting a feeding frenzy with the moon setting as well as ...

What's that funky coloured fish called? Is it the softbait in his mouth or does he have feelers coming out of his mouth? Good on you for letting the big one's go. Anything over 60 cm I let go too. Its a goat fish, reef dwellers and the brightest one i've ever caught...phot doesnt quite do it justic...

Had a super morning mission around Kawau Island area yesterday morning. With the wind forecast to be a bit gusty and the notoriously rough northern channel to cross from the Janes Bay I was a little apprehensive, especially for the return journey which I was picking for being rough against wind and ...
