New Zealand Fishing Holiday Photo Gallery for Hank, Bill and Andrew

Hank, Bill and Andrew joined us from Australia for four days, and struck some fantastic weather all four days, not to mention some great fishing with the kings and snapper both on the chew.

*Hank was into the first fish which hit a 7" Pink Shine softbait.

Bill was into the next very nice snapper on another 7" bait - New Penny.

The first kingfish on the trip, cookie cutter marking on the tail, this one was destined for the BBQ at the Fishing Coast to Coast magazine conference the next night.

Andrew with his first kingi of the trip.

And Andrew know with the jigging buzz well and truly, straight into his next kingfish on the Jig XR and Saragosa.

A sweet kingfish about 18kg about to be released.

Back in the Aldies we were greeted with sealife everywhere, dolphins first cruising with us through the islands.

And seals cruising the weedlines for some afternoon tea.

The next morning the livie was hit first, the Tica Magnum livebait rod getting a workout.

Bill with a solid kingi first up on Day Two.

Andrew with another about to be released.

And Bill with yet another kingfish taken on the Jigging Master 300.

Hank dealing to a monster - it takes a big fish to do this to a JIgWrex 400....this one got the better of us, Hank will be back for it next year!

Bill on the other side into something similar.

Hank straight back into it on the JM300.

Very nice kingfish about to be released.

And another!

A couple destined for the BBQ this time.

Hank with a real nice snapper that slammed half a trevally still quivering......

And even better on a 7" Nuclear Chicken, and Pink Cyclops head.

Andrew about to release a fish boatside.

Another kingfish falls to the broken arrow!

Hank keeps pulling those big snapper in!!!! Notice the livie out on the surface....kings were pretty high up in the water column....

Andrew with a real nice kingi near the end of day three.

And Hank with his last kingfish of the trip.

And the last snapper of day three on a Vader 7" Bait.

Day four we stuck out of the wind and tried for a few different species, coming home with a mixed bag of tasty John Dory, big Blue Cod, snapper and kahawai.  JD's are suckers with the right bait in front of their nose...

Bill with a real nice one, one of the tastiest fish in the ocean these fellas.

And a bit of sightseeing to wrap up an epic four days.

Andrew with the last snapper of the trip on a New Penny 5" bait.

Cheers fellas and hope to see you again soon!!!
