The Best Evening Fishing on a Charter Boat I've Had in Auckland! 🇳🇿

Fishing the 4:30 PM – 8:30 PM window in Auckland can be a real hit or miss, and this trip was definitely a grind. We managed to land 7 legal snappers on the Doctor Hook charter, but we had to work for every single one of them. The secret to turning the night around? Using a simple ledger rig and switching between the provided pilchards and some fresh yellow eye mullet I caught at the wharf earlier that day. When the bite is slow, that fresh bait makes all the difference. In this video: 1. The evening mission from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM. 2. Using the ledger rig was the go-to for this trip. 3. Using fresh wharf-caught mullet vs. standard bait. 4. 5 of the 7 snappers caught on film. If you’re heading out on an Auckland charter soon, hopefully, these tips help you fill the bin when the fishing gets tough.
