Fantastic Fishing Outing w Kids

Incredible and patient service from Captain Simon led to a delightful morning for myself and my two sons. We went to a cove with no other boats for miles around and caught quite a few large fish. He was very patient with our boys and they had a blast.

Queenstown Fishing Trip

The fishing trip itself was very enjoyable; Trevor was our skipper & three persons fished lake Wakatipu for 3 hours, one Welshman & a local couple. Although we saw many fish in shallow water they weren’t feeding in the middle of a very hot summer’s day, which is typical. We did receive a last minute change in the pick up point; Glenorchy Warf instead of Queenstown, which was 1 hours drive away by car which could have caused problems to the three fishing persons in getting there by 13:00hrs on the day. Although we didn’t catch any fish the skipper told us that the lake contained Brown + Rainbow Trout, and Salmon. We still had a great day and shared many fishing stories & past experiences, as well as taking in the breathtaking scenery that surrounded us. Would definitely recommend this trip to any fishing persons, beginners or experienced.

Queenstown lake fishing

great captain, very knowledgeable, 5 persons on board, fantastic weather and day, good scenery, between all of us we caught one 15cm salmon which we released (too small for a feed); hence 3 star due to cost ie hundreds of dollars in respect of the catch. May be better value going on a different trip for the same money.
