Red Hot Yellowtail Fishing in New Zealand

Coromandel

Howdy All The kingi fishing continues here in New Zealand. Our jigging trips are producing some awesome sessions with fifty plus kingis in a day, most released to fight another day. The biggest from last week was 23kg, a good sized fish taken jigging as kingis will do everything they can to bust you in the reef below. {%image_id=5167%} We spotted a window in the weather last week and went out wide to look for a 'trifecta' - kingfish, hapuku (a very nice tasting NZ fish) and snapper in the same day. We started off with a good jigging session with thirty hard fighting kingis and once the arms got sore everyone was very relieved to go and have a rest and drift for some hapuku. Ten minutes in and the traditional bouncing of the rod tip suggested a 'puka had come for a look at our whole squid bait 80m below. Sure enough the rod doubled over on a nice fish. {%image_id=5168%} Finally we rounded off the day drifting with softbaits for some nice string pulling snapper. Beautiful winter conditions, great fishing and beautiful scenery - what more can you ask for! All the best Carl http://www.epicadventures.co.nz {%image_id=5015%}
