How does Blue Cod or Crayfish for dinner sound? Thatβs what youβll be going after on your excursion with Kaikoura Fishing Tours. Spend a few hours fishing some of the deep waters just out from Point Kean trying to fill the boat with these delicious creatures.
With the assistance of Captain Tomo, youβre sure to have a productive day. An avid angler of over 20 years, heβs been running charters for almost just as long, so he knows exactly what makes a successful trip. Let him show you all the tricks of the trade, as you land plenty of fish to take home.
Step aboard the βTessa Bβ and let the magic begin. The 40β AMF commercial fishing boat comes fitted with everything you need for a fun and fruitful day out. With room for up to 18 guests, up to 12 of you can fish at the same time. Take advantage of the air-conditioned cabin as you relax, taking in the stunning scenery, and make use of the complimentary hot drinks to stay refreshed.
When it comes to the fishing, the boat is geared up with downriggers to help you troll. Meanwhile, youβll also have the pick of the latest Penn and Shimano gear as you bottom fish to entice the bite of some prized, delicious creatures. Just 4 miles offshore, the waters get as deep as 1000 metres, giving you a range of delicious fish to target.
Groupers, Sting Rays, Sea Perch, Bluenose, Cod β you name it, itβs here. Put your fishing skills to the test during your time aboard and youβll reap the rewards tight away.
At the end of your trip, the crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home, or they can recommend a local restaurant where you can have it cooked up. Let the memories of a thrilling day out live long into the night, as you savor the taste of success.
You can even ask Capt. Tomo about longer trips to get the most out of your time in New Zealandβs rich waters. Come aboard Kaikoura Fishing Tours from spring through autumn, and get your hands on some prized fish!

Special 2 hour trip for Cristina Liu on February 27, 2024Β β’Β 5 adultsIn our sea fishing adventure today, we successfully captured crayfish using lobster traps and also caught an array of fish including Blue Cod, Great Barracuda, and Red Gurnard.
