After a successful trip to the Bay of Islands, today sees me off to Tauranga to meet Mick of The F Spot Fishing Charters. He has fished the waters of New Zealand since his emigration in 1995, so I have high hopes he can hook me up!
First off, we'll be on an overnight trip, what we'll catch, I have no idea but expect victory pictures (I'm feeling confident). The following day I'll be experiencing land based, tag and release shark fishing. This may be awesome. Truly awesome. Expect many, many photo's!
Some extra miles will take me to Rotorua, on to Taupo and a day on the lake. It would be a crime not to try to catch a specimen Trout on the world famous lake. So I will be looking for a guide to up me chances significantly, the dollars will be worth it I feel.
The final part of the saga will play out in the Coromandel. This is Kingfish country. This is where I will be berleying up the ocean, live baiting and throwing everything into reaching my goal. A 10kg Kingie from the rocks on 10kg line. A silver bullit of muscle, one if THE top sports fish around New Zealand. It's going to be a challenge so let's see what happens!
So all that is left to do is pack everything up, jump in the truck and head on down to Tauranga.
An update will be along shortly, keep on checking back!
Bon voyage.
