Raewyn Ensor Blue Ocean Fishing Charters

Summer fishing is in full swing. The sea has settled down nicely, allowing us to target the good fishing spots in a variety of depths. Mayor Island fishing is always varied with lots of different species coming on board including some good sized snapper, porae and trevally. Kingfish are making an appearance too with some anglers catching their first ever and others their personal best.

Some days the fishing has been really slow during the day, when patience and perseverance has been a virtue. The evening change of light fishing has come up with the goods. Lots of small snapper have been caught during the day with the size improving into the evening. Spectacular sunsets have added to the ambience and the experience.

Trolling lures between fishing spots and on the way out to Mayor Island often provides good entertainment with some skipjack tuna to haul in.

There have been plenty of work-ups with some good sized fish providing the action.

During the holidays we’ve had lots of families out on the boat. It’s great to see the kids experiencing being on a boat and catching their first fish. Their excitement is palpable. Producing a good feed of delicious fresh fish to take home for dinner is memorable along with the whole family bonding experience.

There have been quite a few company work outings, which have provided plenty of laughs and good comradery whilst relaxing and fishing. A barbecue lunch including fresh fish, plenty of marine activity with dolphins, whales and sharks making an appearance and some of the best scenery New Zealand has to offer, completes the picture.
