Fishing in New Zealand with TIME Unlimited
September 23rd 2009 04:25
No New Zealand adventure is complete without a little fishing. After all we are a country blessed with beautiful and accessible fishing grounds, from crystal clear lakes and meandering rivers to the wild beaches of the Tasman sea and the tranquil bays of the Pacific Ocean. TIME Unlimited has a fishing tour to suit every place, every taste and every range of experience.
Floundering is a Kiwi family classic. Who can forget the thrill of hiking the estuaries at night, torch in hand, to catch a tell-tale flash of silver, or dragging a net heavy with dark, struggling shadows, through waist deep, sun-lit water on a summer's day? TIME Unlimited offers both the day and the night-time floundering adventure.
Equally unforgettable is Kayak Fishing, a New Zealand first. Heading out into the Hauraki Gulf and along Auckland’s stunning coastline, with fishing tackle strapped to the Kayak, is an adventure in itself. Reeling in a Snapper, Gurnard, Kingfish, Trevally or Kahawai or two, in some secret spot, is every fisherman’s dream. Landing on a deserted beach, placing the first footprint on the pristine sand and then tucking into a TIME Unlimited gourmet picnic before a snooze, a swim, or dropping a line from the rocks, is, as Dave Dobbin's Kiwi anthem says, "a slice of heaven"
Can it get much better? Well, yes! Finally, there’s Kite Fishing! Although this is a world first in modern extreme and adventure fishing, it is a method also known in Maori tradition. TIME Unlimited’s Kite Fishing Tours take place against the backdrop of Auckland’s stunning beaches. There’s nothing quite like the experience of watching the offshore wind carry the soaring kite, trailing the baited long line, out beyond the breakers to where the fish are biting. That is why Auckland is a perfect location for this unique type of fishing, since it has both the west and east coast beaches. No matter which direction the wind takes, you can fish using an offshore wind angle. There’s certainly nothing like the experience of dragging that line back in, laden with plump, glistening fish.
Acclaimed British actor, Robson Green, tried kite fishing with TIME Unlimited and was literally “hooked”. In fact he was so impressed with his great day out on the TIME Unlimited Kite Fishing Tour that he filmed it and shared it with millions of British viewers on BBC’s Channel 5 in “Extreme Fishing with Robson Green”.
Learning about bait, baiting lines, varieties of fish, water safety and respect for the environment are all part of TIME Unlimited's fishing tours. Clients keep their catches (provided, of course, that they meet the legal requirements) Scaling and cleaning? TIME Unlimited will show you how, or, if you're squeamish, they'll do it for you! Cooking your catch? - Well that's another story!

I've lived in Australia for so long and haven't yet traveled to NZ. I really should.
