New Zealand Fishing Charters - we know where to fish
Enjoy fine in-shore fishing and diving in Doubtless Bay, Whangaroa and Rangaunu Harbours in Northland, New Zealand with your skipper, Pete Wright, on Snapa Slapa.
We specialise in soft-baiting for snapper as well as traditional stray-line fishing.
Locally, departing from Rangiputa or Whatuwhiwhi (Perehipe Bay or Matai Bay), you can fish Doubtless Bay and Rangaunu Harbour on either side of the Karikari Peninsula.
You can catch snapper, kingfish, tarakihi, kahawai and many other species. You may also enjoy diving and sightseeing with dolphin, orca, the local bird population and other sea life with excellent opportunities for photographers.
