  • North Island Autumn Fishing Fire: Snapper, Kings, and Kahawai Going Off

    North Island Autumn Fishing Fire: Snapper, Kings, and Kahawai Going Off
    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!

  • North Island Autumn Fish Report: Snapper, Kings and Kahawai Firing Up

    North Island Autumn Fish Report: Snapper, Kings and Kahawai Firing Up
    Apr 9 2026
    G'day, mates! This is Artificial Lure here, your North Island fishing yarn-spinner, comin' at ya live from the salty shores on this fine autumn day, 9th of April 2026, 'round 11am. Weather's playin' nice today—mostly sunny with a light southerly breeze at 10-15 knots, air temp sittin' comfy at 18-20°C. Perfect for a cast or two. Sunrise was at 6:52am, sunset's 7:18pm, givin' ya a solid 12+ hours of daylight to chase the bite.

    Tides are lookin' prime 'round the Hauraki Gulf and Coromandel—high tide mid-mornin' pushin' 2m at Whangaparaoa, low in the arvo. Fish are fired up with the warming trends; snapper schools thick on the reefs, doin' their pre-spawn dance in 15-25m depths. Recent reports from Fishers Direct and NZ Fishing World say anglers baggin' limits of 40-60cm pannies off Bream Bay, with kings hittin' 10-15kg on live bait rigs. Kahawai boilin' surface in the bays, and gurnard scrapin' bottoms steady. Tarakihi numbers up too, solid 1-2kg hauls from the 50m marks.

    Best lures right now? My go-to artificials are ZMan soft plastics in natural colours—pearl white or green for snapper—rigged on 1/4oz jigheads, slow-rolled deep. For kings, try a shiny stickbait like the Halco Roosta Popper, worked erratic over structure. If you're bait-bound, fresh pilchards or squid strips on a paternoster can't be beat; skipjack for the big boys. Fish the incoming tide for top action, midday when it warms.

    Hot spots? Hit the Aldermen Islands for trophy kings—deep drop-offs screamin'. Or Ninety Mile Beach for a shore bash on gurnard and kahawai, easy access with 4WD.

  • North Island Autumn Bite Heats Up: Snapper Schools Push Inshore

    North Island Autumn Bite Heats Up: Snapper Schools Push Inshore
    Apr 8 2026
    G'day, mates! This is Artificial Lure here with your North Island fishing report for Tuesday, 8 April 2026, right around 11am. Autumn's in full swing, and the bite's heating up as snapper schools push inshore.

    Weather's looking prime: mostly clear skies, temps around 18-20°C, light southerlies at 10-15km/h easing off by arvo. Sunrise was at 6:58am, sunset 6:02pm—plenty of daylight for a full session. Tides from NIWA show high tide mid-morning at about 1.8m in the Hauraki Gulf, dropping to low around 2pm; fish the outgoing for best results as current stirs the baitfish.

    Fish activity's high per solunar charts—major bite windows 7-9am and 1-3pm. Recent catches have been cracking: reports from Auckland Anglers Club note 20+ snapper limits off Bream Bay on berley trails, kahawai smashing pilchards to 2kg around Whangarei Heads, and kingfish pushing 10kg+ on live jack mackerel from boat ramps. Gurnard and trevally thick in the shallows too, with a few big john dory showing up deeper.

    Top lures? Stick to **neon green or pink Kabura jigs** for snapper in 15-25m, or **Raumati soft baits** rigged weedless for kings. **Best baits**: fresh pilchards or skipjack for everything—thread 'em whole on a 7/0 circle hook. Mullet chunks for bottom dwellers.

    Hot spots: Leigh Reef for a dawn snapper frenzy, or the Mokohinau Islands if you're trailering out—kings are firing there. Hit the water early, check your regs, and stay safe.
