Going back to NZ in Feb 2020 if anyone wants to team up
yes, let me know what you are putting together. we might have a couple of guys here that are interested.
Will post this eve with all details / costs. Fishing dates will be feb 14-18. 5 full days. Fishing the Cormandal Peninsula 3 hour shuttle east of Auckland. These are full day trips with one of Nz best guides. I will be there an extra 5 days looking @ homes--we want to move there.
Amazing fish!...thanks for sharing.

Here is the cost with various options for a 5 full day trip to the Coromandel Peninsula NZ. fishing dates will be feb14-18 2020. You will need to leave the USA on Feb 11 and have a flight that arrives Auckland no later than 11am feb 13 as the shuttle departs at 2 pm. Forget Feb 12, you missed it as we cross the international date line. Arrange flight out on Feb 19--shuttle gets you back to Auckland @ 10.30am so book an afternoon flight.
COSTS PER PERSON FOR ENTIRE TRIP
Fishing @ 4 per boat---$1300.00 US
Lodging 6 nights---$550.00 (your own room)-has 2 bedrooms. Can be reduced to $321.00 if we get a deluxe unit-2 bedrooms with 2per room. Lodging will be @ the Blue water Motel Tairua NZ. Google it and check out the rooms.
Shuttle--$104.00 round trip. You do not need a car as Tairua is a small seaside town and you can walk to everything.
Airfare--I live on the BC border so always fly out of Vancouver BC. My direct flt to Auckland round trip was $1030.00(13 hours no stops)
General info
We will fish with Carl Muir--carlmuirfishing.co.nz. Check out his website,look at his boat and see if this is something that interests you.The above prices are all based on the current exchange rate--.64/1.
Tairua is a beautiful little town right on the ocean and you would be hard pressed to find a nicer spot
Do to the fact that this is prime summer season in NZ, you cant screw around as lodging is very tight.
Best way to respond is to call me @ 360 399 1940.
Forgot to mention this---tipping is not expected in NZ. Not like Mexico were everyone has there hand out. Kiwis and Aussies never tip-very cheep.
The rooms all have full service kitchens and the is a grocery store close by to handle breakfast/lunch. Numerous places to go out for dinner.
The Feb 2020 trip is now full-got two Aussi friends to go. Will post on upcoming future trips.
THREE KINGS 2021
. Time to get a list of those interested. We need 6 for the trip. We would go with either Cascade or Enchanter charters for a 5 or 6 day trip(6 days better as two of the days are travel). The time period would be march-may 2021. They go up in june but the weather is iffy. Cost will be about $3000/3200 including air from west coast based on current $$$ exchange. I currently have 1 definite and 1 strong possibility. Anyone that has a sincere interest, feel free to contact me by ph @360 399 1940 any eve. I have been with both operators and they are first class.
This is NOT San Diego long range combat fishing--lots of room with 6 anglers. Thanks
