Coromandel Mussel Farm Fishing Charters

As the numbers of fish, there are lots of tourists and locals who like to go out fishing next to the farms – especially the big farm off Wilsons Bay. To cater for this demand, there are some charter vessels operating from Coromandel harbour. They tend to launch mainly from Te Kouma Road, either at the Hannifords Wharf or the Sugarloaf Wharf – though some also operate from Waikawau. (coromandelaquaculture.co.nz)

Today we catch a little History, a little Nature and lots of relaxation as we travel through the still waters of the Coromandel Harbour, enjoying the serenity as big sea birds soar above searching for food.   We pass through the gap and head for the black rocks, elephant cove and happy jack island.   we’ll watch sea gulls nesting and nature at its best as gannets dive from great heights into the water to feed off the unsuspecting sea life.   Marine farms cover a big area of the sea,  so sea and bird life are abundant.  A tour not to be missed.

His father-in-law, years working on the mussel barges dotted among the offshore islands between Coromandel and Colville, had seen the possible for a fishing charter out of Coromandel town. The mussel farms – and the barges that harvest them – attract  many snapper. The mussels and shells that drop off the buoyed longlines and are crushed throughout processing are a prepared food source for the scavengers. (stuff.co.nz)

A group of nine mates from around the country met up at Kennedy Bay with diving tanks and snorkelling gear. The plan was to steam to the Mokohinau Islands, skirting around the coast of Little Barrier Island Hauturu . This group was lucky enough to meet a big group of common dolphins that spent some quality time with Te Wairoa, leaping, chasing and rolling over, much to the delight of all on board. The night at the Mokohinaus was magical. Early next morning, the divers had their 1st dive of the day – enough good-sized crayfish for a decent entr e for dinner. The divers portrayed some great sights below the surface. (coromandelboatcharters.com)

The harbour has surely perked up with schooling snapper now up in close around Bayswater and out from Orakei in reasonable numbers, at this stage it’s a couple of weeks behind what we were turning over now last year which is reflected in the summer warm temperatures running late. The channels have also improved with the dusk trips ticking over good catches on the common spots, most remaining have been the White cliffs at Takapuna point and in towards Rough Rock. Some a mix is coming through with medium sized kahawai and the sporadic john dory thrown in the bag. Moving up the coast a bit there have been snapper moving down the coast out from Castor Bay and also out from Billy Goat Point on the old mussel bed bank. (fishingadventures.co.nz)

April is certainly the best month to go fishing for big snapper in Coromandel; the snapper are really keen to put on some condition before winter sets in and they hit the softbaits hard. Yearly in April and May every second trip we make results in a big snapper of 70 to 75cm being caught, which is a snapper of about 6 kilo s my biggest was 17lbs, however my mate Ant caught one bigger at 78cm which could have gone 18lb, but we photographed it and released it. We like to let these fish go if we can as they’re the best fish to be breeding, not kelpies but big fit school fish which are thrilling to catch on light tackle, a 6 to 7 minute struggle to get them to the ship is common.
