Hi,

My 18th birthdays coming up next month and me and my dad thought we might go on a charter. There's alot of companies out there, and I thought, to save time, you guys might have some suggestions of some charters that are a good price and know some good fishing spots.

Let me know if you have any recommendations.

Cheers

When next month are you looking at going out?
I know a guy in Auckland but he is all booked up until the middle of next month.

There are several charters that operate out of Leigh/Mangawhai area. Might be a good place to start as the snapper should be in that area now. The Waitemata is still barren due to the water temp.

Fwiw make sure theres some disscusion on what happens if you get out there and the weather turns shite,ie a very early return results in some $ back.

Fuck that - your're turning 18 - tell him to take you to Showgirls, or Mermaids, or the White House, or mustangs.
