Jamie,

If you go to the Bay of Islands Gamefishing Club in Paihia, there's a guy who works in there who was very helpful in terms of providing info on where to go and when, but I'm afraid I can't remember his name off the top of my head... August whould be good for some big kingies though. Are you going to do shore or boat fishing?

[Jamie Donnelly]

Jamie

Jamie,

December should be even better - there will be lots more kingfish around then. Lionel will no infinitely more than me about that I'm guessing though! If the people you're going with have got a boat, you shouldn't have any trouble getting into some kingies. Im v jealous! Have a look at www.fishing.net.nz for info and the forum section is full of guys who may be able to help. There are a couple of awesome points for rock-fishing in that area if you're feeling adventurous as well... :)
