SIMRAD SESSIONS presents Flyn Jack smashing some huge kingfish in an all out action adventure at D'Urville Island. Check out this video for a bit of inspiration!

Check out this awesome episode from the Lateral Line boys. Epic footage.

Milan for years has talked about investing some time into trying to catch snapper in a harbour. That time to be invested by waiting until there is a perfect weather forecast and going as far up the back of a harbour at dead low tide as you could possible go and just see what we can find. The perfect out come would be to find something amazingly “fishy” and then coming up with a plan to fish that area. The boys executed the plan well but bump into a school of snapper and Trevally randomly and end up spending the afternoon trying to catch them on a fly. The boys have only ever been lucky enough to see fish schooling like this in the shallows a handful of times over the years.

One of the most rewarding fishing styles for me is catching big snapper in front of crashing swell and white water. What’s even more exciting is discovering a new way of fishing, that is only tried by a very small percentage of anglers, that finds fish that have grown to great size in the shelter of water that has often gone pretty much undisturbed by humans. It’s exciting, challenging and keeps me awake at night when I think about the amazing battles that have taken place in areas that normally, I might have previously driven past. What never fails to amaze me, is the size of the fish living in these habitats (even in the Winter months) and in the depth of water which at times is barely knee deep.

Some great opportunistic fishing action really capturing the quick thinking and quicker rigging up to grab some kingfish go-time!

Nato has his fly rod rigged and ready before the boat even hits the water. The first half of the day will be spent trying to get a fish to eat a fly. After that the boys are heading wide to some deep water pins to drop big live baits 100 meters plus down on one of Nato’s crazy deep water rigs.

Nice little vlog catching crays inshore from GP Fishing Adventures

The Manukau Harbour can be a great place to fish from kayaks and small boats on a nice day. Soft baits will often do the damage, take a look here and get some nice hints and tips.

The boys are off on their first fishing and camping mission on board Sojourn for 2022, again spending a few days in, on and around there favourite island group. Milan is doing what Milan does and what he loves most, that being, swimming big live baits on the weed lines close to shore. Hopefully a big hungry king fish has chosen the same weed lines to hunt down breakfast.

This time is gonna be a little bit different. This time, The boys are have a crack at Marlin fishing with Luke on board Evo. Evo being a 7.5 meter Marco boat that was custom designed and built to target Marlin. An over night mission is planned. The weather isn’t the best and Milan ends up getting sea sick on the first day and the trip gets cut short by some less then desirable weather on day 2. Check it out

The boys have been invited to go land based fishing on the east coast of New Zealand by Hamish from NaCL Lures. They had a very similar trip with Hamish last year and it was good fun and some beautiful fish were landed. Hamish believes February to be a great time of year to be on the rocks targeting big kingfish, which suits Milan perfectly. Nato really enjoys trying to capture beautiful scenery in amongst the fishing and this is a great place to do just that. As always a good feed of fresh fish is on the hit list and everyone involved is hopeful that the mighty Green Machine makes an appearance.

Here's a lot of boat in a smaller package. Ideal for anything from day trips to serious fishing. Take a look around the mighty little Haines Hunter SF485
