New Zealands Chatham Islands is one of the more talked about fishing destinations around the country. Many fisherman dream of going there, and those who do, talk fondly of their experience. My experience is listed below, I hope you enjoy the read:

I remember when I started fishing and used to go out in my ‘good old days’ with my grandfather and dad in the dinghy. Twenty snapper or cod was pretty easy to come by on rods, and the net was usually kicking hard on retreival. Aint always like that now. I also remember also, my grandfather talking cheerfully as he remembered it, fishing from home, getting a boat full of good groper and blue cod, on basic gear. It was the stuff that filled daydreams. I grew up accustomed to the idea that that sort of fishing only existed in old peoples memories.
I had always heard awesome things about the a Chathams Stay, so when the opportunity came up to join 12 other like minded blokes and make the journey over for a week, well, its fair to say that the old man and I didn’t need to be asked twice. Especially seeing as he was good enough to shout me!
What made us gasp at first was the sheer size, much bigger than we thought it might be. Expansive and being pounded by huge swells, the Chathams Islands impressed all. Val Croon, host of our chathams accommodation, initiated us with an island tour and awesome meal, before we settled into the bar and a while later, our beds.
The next day, we did a fishing trip out to a close by reef and landed great bluecod and groper or hapuka. Crayfish or rock lobster were in plentiful supply also! Not only was it a great getaway, it was an amazing fishing trip with plenty of fun to be had!
