When all is said and done what could be a more perfect way to enjoy the City of Sails than out on the water, with mates or family around you and some rods in your hands, ready to catch the big one. A fishing trip in Auckland is one of the best things to do to get away from it all without really needing to drive anywhere (besides to the wharf.) Unlike many days out, once you get on board, your work is done, and it's time to relax and unwind, making it the perfect time out in a busy city.
The area is made for getting out on the water. The city hosts two coastlines and two harbours, and even though the numbers of fish were markedly depleted in the eighties, with quotas and the knowledge of your skipper, you should be able to locate some good sized schools of fish to secure a catch by the end of the day.
There are a good range of fish to be caught, with Snapper and John Dory remaining the favourites in terms of edible catches. If you want to go looking for big game, you can, though you'll need to go out a little further for that. You can book a day trip and stay close to the harbour, or book a fishing trip in Auckland that takes you a little further out north, where the bigger fish hide.
The best spots to find fish are not usually in the same place. That's why it's a great idea to listen to your skipper and to take any advice the charter company can give you. You don't need to be over experienced. They can provide you with everything from fishing rods and tackle to the food and drink you'll need to sustain you while you sit around telling stories about the fish that got away.
If you want to bring your own rods of course that is completely fine. It's important to feel both familiar and completely at ease when you go fishing. You'll also need to bring a jacket and perhaps several layers to accommodate the open seas' winds.
A fishing trip in Auckland isn't just about your catch however. It's the perfect way to unwind and relax with mates and get away from it all. The fact you get to possibly bring home a tasty reminder of the day is just a bonus.
