  • North Island Fishing Report: Snapper On, Kings Firing, Perfect Autumn Conditions

    North Island Fishing Report: Snapper On, Kings Firing, Perfect Autumn Conditions
    Apr 13 2026
    G'day, mates! This is Artificial Lure here with your North Island fishing report for Monday, 13 April 2026, right on 11am. Autumn's hittin' sweet, with clear skies and a light sou'wester at 10-15 knots, temps hoverin' 18-20°C—perfect for a day on the water. Sunrise was 6:52am, sunset 5:48pm, givin' ya a solid 11 hours of light. Tides today: high at 10:23am (2.1m) and 10:47pm (2.0m), low at 4:35am (0.8m) and 4:52pm (0.9m)—fish the changin' tides hard, especially the outgoing arvo low.

    Fisho's been smashin' it lately! Snapper are firin' up in 20-40m around the Hauraki Gulf, with limits of 40-60cm models on the chew—berley trails pullin' 'em in steady. Kingfish are showin' in numbers off the Coromandel, some fat 10kg+ beasts boatin' last week. Kahawai schools are crashin' the baitfish off Whangaparaoa, and gurnard plus trevally thick on the sandflats. Recent catches report solid bags: 20+ snapper per boat from Bream Bay, kings to 15kg at the Mokohinau Islands per local charter logs.

    Best lures? Go the **gold Cleo** or **silver Blue Fox spinners** for kings and kahawai—they're tearin' it up in the washes. Thomas Buoyant red-gold spoons for snapper on the drift. For bait, fresh pilchards or skipjack in a berley bomb can't be beat; chunk it up near the bottom on the tide change. Fly boys, hit 'em with silver/red midges if ya wadin' the shallows.

    Hot spots: **Ninepin Point** off Whangaparaoa for kings on the troll—watch the swell. And **Great Barrier reefs** for snapper limits, anchor in 25m and berley like mad.

    Tight lines, stay safe out there—check conditions before launchin'.

  • North Island Autumn Fire: Snapper Schools and Kingfish Charging the Reefs

    North Island Autumn Fire: Snapper Schools and Kingfish Charging the Reefs
    Apr 12 2026
    G'day, mates, this is Artificial Lure here with your North Island fishing report for Sunday, 12 April 2026, right on 11am. Kia ora from the rugged coasts and clear waters around Auckland, Coromandel, and the Bay of Plenty—autumn's in full swing, and the snapper are firing up!

    Weather's looking prime today: mostly sunny with a light southerly breeze at 10-15 knots, temps sitting 18-22°C. Perfect for a day on the water, no dramas with swells under 1m. Sunrise was at 6:52am, sunset 5:48pm—plenty of daylight to chase the bite. Tides? High at 10:23am and 10:42pm in Auckland Harbour, lows around 4:15am and 4:48pm. Fish the incoming tide mid-morning for best action, as currents stir up the kai moana.

    Fish activity's heating: snapper schools thick in 15-30m depths, kingfish pushing inshore on the reefs, and kahawai smashing bait balls surface-style. Recent catches from local boats—over 50 snapper limits off Waiheke last weekend, averaging 40-60cm, plus a few 10kg kings. Tarakihi stacking up around 50m on the Ninety Mile, and john dory reports from Raglan. Gurnard and trevally filling bags too.

    Top lures? Go bright stickbaits like ZMan Swimbaits in pilchard or pearl for kings and kahawai—retrieve fast with jerks. For snapper, Kabura jigs in pink or green, 80-120g, bounced slow off the bottom. Soft plastics like Gulp! 5-inch jerk minnows on 1/4oz jigheads nail 'em dead. Bait-wise, fresh pilchards or skipjack tuna chunks unbeatable—rig on a paternoster with berley trail. Live mackerel if you can net 'em for monster kings.

    Hot spots: Hit the Musick Point reefs off Auckland for snapper frenzy on the tide change, or motor to the Aldermen Islands off Coromandel for kings crashing the berley pot—permit up, but worth it. Launch early, watch for logs.

    Thanks for tuning in, legends—subscribe for weekly updates and tight lines!

    Apr 11 2026
    G'day, mates! This is Artificial Lure here, your North Island fishing yarn-spinner, bringin' ya the fresh report for Saturday, 11 April 2026. Autumn's bitin' in sweet around these parts—clear skies mostly, highs round 20°C, light southerlies 10-15 knots, perfect for a crack at the saltwater. Sunrise kicked off at 6:45am, sunset's 6:00pm sharp, givin' ya a solid 11 hours of prime light.

    Tides are playin' nice today per Tides4Fishing charts—low coeff of 34 means gentle flows, low tide 'bout now at 11am, high sneakin' in round 5pm. Fish are fired up in that solunar high window from noon to 2pm; moon's waxin' crescent, pushin' snapper and kings into a frenzy.

    Recent catches? Bloody brilliant—anglers at 976-TUNA style counts reckon solid bags of snapper to 5kg, kahawai schools bustin' surface off the coasts, and gurnard stackin' up in 20-40m. Henry's Fork vibes echo our trout runs, with browns and rainbows hittin' hard in rivers like the Rangitikei. Hubbard's Marina notes mirror our nearshore mix: kings, macks, and hogs on live baits.

    Best lures? Rapala F-18 in pike or gold for kings and kahawai—rip 'em shallow. Tube jigs and woolly buggers for bottom dwellers. Bait-wise, live pilchards or skipjack strips rule; fresh cray legs for gurnard. Go 20-30lb braid, 30lb fluoro leader, 3/0-5/0 circle hooks.

    Hot spots: Raglan Rocks for dawn snapper bombs—watch the boil-ups. Ninety Mile Beach for kahawai hauls on the troll, or head to the Mokau River mouth for trout on BWO dries if ya fancy fresh.

    Tight lines, stay safe out there—check conditions!
