Be it chasing Blue, Black or Stripped Marlin beyond the Poor Knights on Blue Striker, stray lining for 20lb plus snapper off Elizabeth Reef or jigging for kingfish off any one of the many points along the coast the opportunities to catch fish are endless. Boats can easily be launched in the estuary at Matapouri or driven 5 minutes over the hill to Tutukaka and launched at the marina. Should you prefer to stay on land, rock fishing through the hole-in-the-rock at the end of Matapouri Bay is often a great place to catch pan-sized snapper provided you can get you baits below the greedy kahawai.

 

With Yukon Charters you can drop down into the many caverns along the coast that hide crayfish, chase wily snapper and powerful kingfish, dive on the Tui or Waikato Wrecks or spend the day exploring the Poor Knights and all it has to offer. The options are plentiful with Yukon Charters who specialise in customising tours for families or small groups.
