- [May Report 2015](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/may-report-2015/) - With the wintery chill in the air, we bid a fond farewell to what has been a reasonably productive 2015 game fishing season. Things certainly started off with a bang with the fishing during late January through mid February being exceptionally good, especially at our favourite haunt the Three Kings Islands. Our early groups were
- [November Report 2014](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/november-report-2014/) - Bit of an overdue winter newsletter... better late than never none the less. Although we haven’t had a huge amount to report on the fishing front, it’s been a really busy few months over the winter period. Our usual maintenance schedule took up a majority of the early stages of winter... new turbo’s on both
- [Game Season Report](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/game-season-report/) - Our game fishing season has come to an end as of last weekend (Mid May). Although some of the weather we endured during April was less than favourable, we still enjoyed some good fishing and enjoyable trips with some new and old friends. Marlin fishing during April was certainly not red-hot, but consistent fishing could
- [Arrival of Arenui](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/arrival2/) - Arrival of our new boat 'Arenui' is just around the corner and we obviously can't wait after a lot of planning and organisation over the past 12 months. I spent the first couple of weeks of 2010 in Australia finalising handover and sailing the boat from Townsville, in Far North Queensland, to Brisbane. The boat
- [New Zealand's Newest Charter Boat](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/reports3/) - Geoff Lamond, on behalf of New Zealand Game Fishing Ltd is both proud and excited to announce the arrival of New Zealand’s newest charter boat... coming very soon! The new boat is due to arrive in New Zealand mid January 2010 and will be the first O’Brien vessel to grace New Zealand shores. We’re obviously
- [February Report 2010](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/mid-season-2010/) - We're finally underway with our new boat 'Arenui'. So far fishing, weather and the boat have all been great despite a couple of minor teething issues and the odd Tsunami false alarm here and there. Our inaugural trip was rushed to say the least. 'Arenui' arrived from Australia in mid Feb and we immediately had it
- [April Report 2010](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/april-report-2010/) - A little patchy is probably the best way to describe the current game fishing front in the far north. The water on the King Bank is fantastic and has been for some time now, however crews have had to hang in there all day in order to get their bites from bill fish. On occasions
- [May Report 2010](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/may-report-2010/) - Well we didn’t exactly finish our season off the way we hoped, with strong and persistant Nor-Easterly storms putting an end to any hopes of us rapping things up in style. I don’t think I can recall a May with such heavy rainfall and persistant gales in the north for some time, generally we expect
- [October Report 2010](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/oct-report-2010/) - After a mild yet extremely wet winter spring has finally arrived. With the seasonal weather change, the Hauraki Gulf snapper have certainly turned up in abundance with many crews enjoying the sun on their backs and getting amongst the action. Gannets, dolphins and whales have been the dead set give away for the anchovy and
- [February 2011 Report](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/feb-report-2011/) - Things have certainly started off well in during the first 6-7 weeks of New Zealand’s game Fishing season. Good numbers off Blue Marlin along the eastern coast has certainly been the stand out feature of the season so far. Not only good numbers of blue marlin, but some pretty big ones too. The majority of
- [May Report 2011](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/may-report-20112/) - With our season slowly drawing to a close I thought it would be best to finally send out a newsletter covering off the past few months’ action. Apologies to those who have been expecting our updates a little earlier and on a more consistent basis, but a really busy schedule and a mis-placed cell phone
- [Jan Report 2012](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/jan-report-20122/) - The 2012 game fishing season has taken a little bit of persuasion to kick into gear with a more sedate beginning than we’re probably use to. There has certainly been some good fishing to be had off the usual ‘early season ports’ of Whitianga and Tutukaka, but these good days have been offset by a
- [Feb Report 2012](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/feb-report-2012/) - By all accounts February has been a pretty good month within New Zealand game fishing circles with several mind blowing captures around the country in particular. The fishing has not been the only thing of steady improvement during February, the weather also was more than acceptable with long periods of variable winds which were a
- [March Report 2012](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/march-report-2012/) - A little over a month ago now I was really looking forward to writing our March edition of the New Zealand Game Fishing Newsletter. We had some pretty big expectations for what lay ahead with some exciting trips planned. As a whole March hasn’t worked out as well as hoped solely due to the unseasonal
- [April Report 2012](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/april-report-2012/) - The comings and goings during the month of April is a little more difficult to write about this time round considering I wasn’t on board Arenui for a majority of it. I had enough on my plate at home without keeping up to speed with what was going on in the gamefishing scene. As mentioned
- [May Availabilities](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/may-availabilities/) - With our busy 2012 game fishing season slowly drawing to a close, we have some time slots available during May and early June that we'd love to fill. 48 or 36 hour trips targeting Swordfish proved to be both popular and successful last season and with the added mix of Bluenose, Kingfish any remaining Striped Marlin on the coast... these shorter
- [August Report 2012](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/august-report-2012/) - With the winter blues well and truly set in, we’ve been pretty busy with our winter maintenance schedule. We’ve had Arenui out of the water for her annual anti-foul, prop-speed and touch up, as of last weekend we had her back in the water looking brand new again. Nothing major to fix this year (touch
- [January Report 2013](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/january-report-2013/) - The early stages of the 2013 NZ game fishing season can probably be best described as a little patchy. There have been a handful of pretty cool catches along the northern coast but these good catches and good fishing days have been mixed in with a few non eventful days as well. Finding good water
- [August Report 2013](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/august-report-2013/) - Apologies to those who were hoping for more regular updates throughout the 2013 game fishing season, but a very busy charter schedule put pay to any well laid plans of monthly newsletters and updates. We certainly hope to be a bit more diligent on this front in the future as well as posting regular photos
- [January Report 2015](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/january-report-2015/) - What a start to the 2015 game fishing season! It seems that most if not all New Zealand’s hotspots are getting their fair slice of the action and with so many notable captures, it’s difficult to single out any one in particular. Probably the biggest surprise of the past month has been the presence of Yellowfin
- [June Report 2014](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/june-report-2014/) - With our 2014 Far North charter season finally done and dusted and the inclement winter weather setting in, it’s given me a chance to finally put together our newsletter covering off what has been a strange season to say the least. “All or nothing” for both fishing and weather can probably best sum up our

- [Alternative Teasers](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/how-to-s/alternative-teasers/) - Alternative Teasers Switch baiting in New Zealand predominantly revolves around trolling hookless, artificial teasers as the main weapon for raising billfish. Although artificial teasers have many advantages, there are some situations where ‘plastics’ just won’t raise fish.

- [Pitching Baits](https://www.nzgamefishing.com/how-to-s/pitching-baits-to-billfish/) - Pitching Baits to Billfish It’s no secret that one of my favourite ways of targeting marlin is switch baiting or towing hookless teasers and pitching either dead or live baits once you’ve raised a fish.
