Thread: far north fishing

How long for the charter hire.
$1K for a day for 3-4 guys seems pretty excessive for up that way.
Got to blame the tourists with long arms and deep pockets.
Seems more logical if you hire a tinnie & outboard on a trailer and a family sized unit at a motel nearby.
If staying in the Hokianga, sounds like accommodation is sorted, so just hire the tinnie, outboard and trailer, tow it over to your fishing spot/s.
Pretty sure members up that way will have a good idea of who to use for boat, motor and trailer hire.
Don't have to own anything except a tow bar and fishing gear then.
Distances are 1-2 hours driving up there, so all you need to know is tides and launching ramps.
Just arrived home yesterday from up there, roads are pretty good - except SH1 in some areas are having roadworks done.
Short lengths only - so won't hold you up much.
Mangamuka-Okaihau- Waimate North- Kerikeri-Matauri Bay took us just under an hour, going easy, with a trailer and ute loaded up.
