Bay of Islands Fishing
August 3, 2008
Fishing is generally very productive to the patient fisherman all over Northland. Our most common and popular fish is the snapper and large specimens can be landed around the rocky reefs and shoreline. Dusk and dawn are generally the best time of the day for bottom fishing.
Workups of seabirds including gulls, terns, gannets, petrels and shearwaters give an indication of extensive fish activity below the surface. It’s always fun to trawl a lure through the frothing waves and usually kahawai or even kingfish are snared.
Try your hand at a bit of fishing during your cruise. Rods and bait are available, and if you are successful, the catch can be prepared for you to take home, or we can cook it for you on the BBQ.
