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.
