North Cape:
North Cape lies approximately 25 nautical miles North of Houhora Harbour on New Zealands East Coast in the far north of the north island. As with most of the fishing locations up here in the far north, much of the inshore reef systems and bars recieve very little fishing pressure. The coastline is littered with hundreds of reef systems and outcrops of headland and the odd small rocky island. The fishing has to be seen to be believed. Simmons Island at times is rich with top water action which attracts large schools of Kingfish which can be targetted on either live baits or stick baits and poppers. Practically any of the headlands can hold fish it's just a matter of how many hours in the day. Travel up Great expedition Bay a beautiful White sands beach where you can catch big snapper and trevally and target top water action under feeding birds, where practically anything might happen. North Cape is rich with deep water reef systems which hold Hapuka, gemfish, and kingfish, either on jigs or on baits, Kingfish to 32 kg at present but again some big fish cruise here so the majic 40 kg fish is achievable. Plenty of shallow reefs at the Cape to cast stick baits, poppers or soft baits. We travel to the North Cape on our vessel "Memorymaker" the trip generally takes around 55 minutes from the Houhora Heads cruising at 22 knots Maximum of 4 anglers rate is $1250 + gst per day for the boat
