Fishing in New Zealand
New Zealand is one of the world’s fishing paradises. The islands offer countless opportunities, especially for shore anglers. On the North Island of New Zealand there are probably the best places in the world to catch large yellowtail kingfish. In addition to Ranfurly Bank, the Three King Islands in particular offer incredible fishing, especially when it comes to jigging. However, New Zealand also has a lot to offer away from these spots and provides excellent fishing from the shore, as well as great fishing with surface lures on kahawai in the summer months.
Recommended months: November-March
Best fishing spots:
North Cape
– one of the world’s hotspots for big kingfish from the shore, especially around Cape Reinga

Coromandl
– also very good fishing for kingfish from the shore
– World class charters, such as Churchys, which fishes around the Mercury Islands. Kingfish over 20 pounds are guaranteed here!
White Island (Whakaari)
– Volcanic island known for its deep waters and structured bottom.
– Notorious for big kingfish and snapper
Fjordland (South Island)
