OUR CHARTERS
A SNEAK PEAK...
Depending on what you want to catch or target, anything is possible with Wai Whare Charters - whether it's Marlin, Bluenose, Kingfish, or Tarakihi to Gurnard.
However some day trips (Kingfish) require live bait so an early start is needed to catch them at change of light and some trips require you to be far away from land to put a lure in the water at change of light, trying for that big one.
Some trips can be gentlemen's hours and you still go home with a good feed (Tarakihi / Snapper).

FURTHER OPTIONS & INFO...
KINGFISH, HAPUKA/BLUENOSE, GAMEFISHING, SWORD FISHING:
These are all high tide-ish in the morning so we can get away early to try get these live bait on the change of light or to be on the fishing grounds as close to daybreak as possible. However these trips require reasonably flat weather conditions to make them enjoyable.
OPTION: Book a Kingfish/Tarakihi trip and if the weather is mint then the option is to upgrade to a Kingfish, Hapuka/Bluenose, Game fishing or Sword fishing trip. However cost is slightly more, a bigger day, but fishing at its finest.
