Whether you are a beginner or an experienced angler visiting Hawkes Bay for one day or 1 week, take a boat fishing trip or a few days guided trout fishing with Tony and experience the great outdoors Hawke’s Bay has to offer.

• Boat Fishing: Everybody enjoys fishing. Try your luck catching a big Hawkes Bay Snapper or Hapuka. Use fresh bait, soft baits or cast lures to unsuspecting fish. Suits all ages. All fishing gear provided.
• Saltwater Fly fishing: Tony’s passion. Casting saltwater flies from the boat. An absolute blast when hooked up. Target species are Kahawai, Kingfish, Tuna, Trevally and Snapper. Use the new Loop Opti Salt fly rods and Loop Opti Speedrunner and Evotec CLWC Clear reels.
• Sports/Game fishing (November-April): Use soft baits, drop jigs, cast poppers, use live fish, or just troll lures/teases for Yellowfin-Albacore-Skipjack Tuna, Kingfish, Mako/Blue Sharks and the odd striped Marlin. Great fun. Involves screaming reels..
• Trout Fishing: Hawkes Bay is an excellent trout fishing and holiday destination, it has many famous and well-stocked rivers all ideal for sighted nymph fishing during the day and dry fly fishing in the evenings for 2lb to 10lb brown and rainbow wild trout.
• Cape Kidnappers Cruise/Dolphin Watching: Take a 3 hour trip along the coastline to Te Awanga/ Clifton then out to the Cape Kidnappers to view the gannets. Weather permitting we’ll cruise further south towards Ocean Beach.

Sunny Napier also has a wide range of fun activities for any non-fishing visitors. Napier is a world recognised Art Deco architectural gem following its destruction by earthquake and fire in 1931.
