This time i'll bring u guys to the land of hobbits or more known as kiwi country. From KL we flew to Auckland, New Zealand and drove about 3 hours to Tairua. The town of Tairua is on the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula in the North Island of New Zealand.
Jason Harris our local fishing guide from Strike Zone fishing charter have been arranging all of our accommodation and transportation there in Tairua.
Water was a bit choppy all the time when we were fishing off the coast of Tairua but the fishing amazingly great. Recommended fast jigs weight within 250g up to 400g. Water depth within 15m up to 250m. Main target fish will be the Yellowtail Kingfish. Size caught during our were range between 7kg up to 25kg which apparently still below the local record which was about 40kg.
This was my 1st trip ever to New Zealand, I love fishing and the weather there. Below are some of the pics of Yellowtail Kingfish that I caught.
