FAQWhat are the differences between the fishing trips - A 5 hour trip is 5 hours home to home we can come back earlier if you want fishing close to home but still plenty of chance to catch suitable for beginners and kids.
A 5 hour trip goes further and is a better option if you have some experience deeper water etc A full day trip we can do more go further have time for a dive maybe try deep water for groper if calm.
What times are the fishing trips - Usually 8 till 1 or afternoon 1 till 6 and times can be flexible if bookings are light
Is there a size limit for the passengers - XXL guys 4 is our limit We have a weight limit of 600kg including myself 5 average or 6 jockeys or kids we have fitting lifejackets for everyone on board standard sizes and very big. Lifejackets have to be worn while we are moving when its not calm.

What if it is bad weather - I dont go in too rough seas but depends on whats around and what you are happy with sometimes we can get some shelter without compromising safety and still catch fish we might have a rolly ride to a calmer spot to be assessed on the day and we have the right to cancel at last minute if the weather changes unexpectedly, this is Cook Strait.
Do you ever catch nothing - Very occasionally the fish are off the bite we can try other things but it happens with everyone sometimes. Usually a reasonable or good catch.
What kind of tackle do you supply - Penn 330 gt2 sets with braid there are a couple of Shimano torium sets for jigging and some heavy gear for groper.
What kind of fish do we get - Leave it up to me to do whats best on the day it depends on wind tides temperature usually bottom fishing for tarakihi snapper blue cod kahawai kingfish trevally gurnard.We can specialise in groper or kingfish or albacore tuna but I need to know and more patience is required for those bigger fish sometimes.

I am a very keen fisherman and diver I live in Titahi Bay and we have a cool boatshed on the beach that I sit in with my wife and friends or visit mates in other sheds I am a tradesman and make a few handrails and balustrades for customers in long periods of bad weather Its great when we get good fishing people have said it was the best fishing trip theyve ever had and someone once told me it was the best experience of his life it helps when the weather is good and the fish are biting ha.
We get bookings from people from all walks of life, tradesmen, professionals out for a day team building, families, tourists this photo is an older one when I used to take trips on a bigger boat too.
Snapper fishing off our 6 metre cat is popular for an evening trip, we also catch them in the summer and autumn whilst fishing for tarakihi.
Either assemble your mates and make a group booking or call in as an individual, it is usually quicker if you have your group and are ready to book a date.

World plastic polution problem
It is my policy to not contribute to the horrendous plastic polution that is choking the oceans so no dumping of rubbish please.
We take from the sea so we have to care for it too it is all a part of us we are all one so respect it I have made it my responsibility
to keep the area I walk my dog on Porirua harbour as plastic free as I can and have been right through the reeds in the lagoon and everywhere removing
all the plastic some of it has been there for many years I just got sick of seeing it if other people had the same idea all over the world there would be less of a problem
but at least we can keep our bit clean it is not a lowly job but it is a lonely job.
