Sport Fishing Hokianga
The mighty Hokianga is a special place rich in history and beauty and more recently has been discovered for its West Coast Game Fishing grounds. Not many have experienced this special place and all it has to offer. Just 15 minutes from the jetty you can capture huge stripped marlin, yellow fin tuna, kingfish, snapper and giant bass just to name a few. The stripped marlin caught off the Hokianga, are some of the biggest in the world today. Beyond the majestic mountain of sand the sea life is abundant. It is not unusual to see dolphins swimming along side the boat, seals lazing on the surface, huge sunfish and marlin feeding on unsuspecting shoals of small fish.
