Catching Kingfish at Tūhua (Mayor Island)
Join us for this short video where we head to a dormant volcano 22 nautical miles offshore from Mount Maunganui, Bay of Plenty.
We use a variety of fishing techniques such as jigging, stickbaiting and livebaiting to see if we can catch some high fighting, New Zealand Kingfish.
