Strikezone Sportfishing NZ
StrikeZone Sportfishing Charters is the premium charter operation out of Tairua, New Zealand. You're in for a fun day on the water, whether you're a novice angler or a hardcore fisherman. With the year-long fishing season for juicy table fare, surpassed only by hot summer months of game fishing, you're at the right spot. Capt. Jason's charter is the perfect gateway to New Zealand's finest fishing.
Capt. Jason will take you fishing where the fish are. You can be staying close to the shoreline or head far out, all the way to the Alderman Islands, for a variety of species like bigJason knows the local fishing spots intimately and has the skills to make your day worthwhile. With an impeccable reputation among his fellow fishermen and years of fishing experience, Jason is a great guide for any fisherman.
The action with StrikeZone Fishing Charters takes place aboard a brand new 29ft Hydro.
She is powered by a 300 hp suzuki engine. Onboard, you will find a large cockpit which is perfect for four anglers, as well as the hardtop to ensure you stay dry and warm. The vessel is fitted with Simrad NSS16 electronics and features a livewell, rod holders for up to fourteen outfits, as well as enough storage for the fish you catch. There is also an electric flush toilet onboard.
These waters are blessed with a variety of fish. During summer you can get Striped and Blue Marlin using trolling lures or live bait. Then, if you want to take home a fish dinner, you can go fishing for Snapper and get to do bottom fishing. Of course, Kingfish is a big thing here and put up a nice fight. If you're up for some casual fishing, you'll be jigging, bait fishing, slow jigging, and softbaiting.
Capt. Jason is great at explaining how fishing works and will be more than happy to brief you about the how-tos to get you some nice fish. You will get ice and bait, and tackle is provided within the charter fare. You should pack food and drinks. Put on comfortable clothes, sunglasses, and a camera.

Julian Sixtus5.0VerifiedPerfekte Angeltour
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 23, 2026 • 4 adultsWir hatten die perfekte Angeltour. Captain Jason war ein großartiger Guide, der uns zu fantastischen Angelplätzen geführt hat. Jeder in der Familie hatte seinen Fang, zum Teil auch mehrere tolle Fische. Am Ende haben wir unseren „Snapper“ sauber filetiert mit nach Hause genommen und zum Abendessen zubereitet. Vielen Dank für den wunderbaren Nachmittag!

Libero Andrea Mazzucchelli5.0VerifiedSuccesful mixed species full day
Full Day Trip - Mixed Species on October 5, 2025 • 2 adultsWe booked a full day mixed species and we successfully caught 5 different fishes, including kingfish and snappers. Jason is an extremely skilled guide, always on the move in search of the right sport for the right fish and provided us high quality gear dedicated to each targeted fish. Lastly, in the months leading up to the fishing trip, there was always timely and detailed communication with the captain, an added value for someone like me who comes from far away. Highly recommended of you are looking for an amazing fishing experience!

James Hudson5.0VerifiedWinter fishing trip
Full Day Trip - Mixed Species on June 12, 2024 • 2 adultsHad a great day out with strike zone charters, Jason was a very experienced captain and despite the slow start to the morning and not a lot of current moving through managed to land a few good snapper. Before moving out to some more reefs to try our luck on some kingfish. Managed a few quality fish on the jigs. Would highly recommend a day out with Jason. We will definitely be back.

Jason went the extra mile by catching live bait overnight before our trip and doing everything possible to get us a great catch - and a super guy to boot. A very enjoyable morning on the water. I would book again without hesitation.
First time fishing for the boys. It was a great experience for them & yes they wanna go again. They caught 10 Snapper and we love Snapper 🤣 Cleaned, & fillets. Fish head was yummy 🥰 Definitely recommend A+++ THANKYOU JASON 🤗
Jason (Strikezone) is a fantastic guide. This was our second time king fishing in Tairua and it was amazing. Beautiful fish, lots of action, incredible scenery, enjoyable conversations and a very comfy boat with good gear
Fishing with Jason was unreal, very organised and knew his stuff. It felt too easy! Had a great day out and hooked a bunch of kingfish
