Every fisherman talks about ‘landing that great catch’, but reeling in a big one is only part of the fishing experience. The rest of it is spending time with mates, relaxing on the water and enjoying new places. A perfect fishing experience is decided by exploring somewhere new and sharing a good time with great people. New Zealand has a huge range of fishing options to explore, such as fresh water fishing, fly fishing, game fishing and deep sea fishing. For a great fishing getaway with friends Auckland City offers many options. Accommodation is plentiful; there are great hospitality establishments and plenty of entertainment. It also offers a great variety of fishing options including Auckland Harbour, Manukau Harbour and the coast of Muriwai Beach, and there are plenty of companies operating boat charters to cater to your requirements. Most boating companies will have expert knowledge of the best fishing spots, many will also be able to provide catering, overnight accommodation, diving facilities and many other options to suit your requirements. With so many different waters to explore they can be a huge help, but it’s always good to have some idea of where you want to go though. On the weat coast of Auckland City is Muriwai Beach and heading north up the coast you will find the home to many locals’ favourite fishing spots. You can get there by boat from Manukau Harbour or by driving to the coast. From December until May, Trevally and Kingfish are known to populate the area, and big snappers are also known to appear between November and June - though not in large groups and not in any particular place. Gurnard, Kawhai and Dogfish can also be caught throughout the year. Along the beach there is a picnic area at Rimmer Road and a shipwreck just north of that. If you keep travelling north alongside the cliff face you start to get some nice sized snapper. The further north toward South Head you go, the bigger they get. It’s a perfect place for somebody looking for a new location. Organising a boat hire in Auckland and travelling from Manukau Harbour out west gets you easy access to the Muriwai beach and some of the best fishing in the area. Exploring the waters and slowly making your way up toward South Head will get you more than a few good days fishing. Take the time to cruise slowly through New Zealand’s beautiful waters and reel in some brag-worthy catches! We love gamefishing, and the boat is set up with all that is needed for towing lures or live baiting. Book your fishing trip in Auckland with us today.
