Best time to catch Yellow Tail Kingfish – all year round, but winter months can produce bigger fish with an average size of between 12-15kg plus. A very hard fighting fish with long runs, pound for pound, one of the best.
We fish around deep drop offs, reefs, rocky outcrops and islands using live baits, jigs and surface poppers. Potential world record fish are there to be caught, so come and test your stamina on one of these tough fish.
Kingfish trips are based on early departure times.
Come and see the Bay of Islands and all its wildlife while cruising through the islands and sheltered bays. See dolphins and whales by chance, nesting bird colonies up close, visit island bird life sanctuaries and pest-free habitats.
