However, snapper fishing in the spawning season (November to January) off the Bay of Islands has resulted in catches each weighing up to 14kg. You will find sensational beaches and, and as often as not, there will only be a small amount of people on them… and we have some of the best snapper fishing spot in Northland.

Snapper are adaptable and opportunistic feeders if they are hungry they will eat most quarry. Snapper will venture into shallower water under the cover of darkness or murky water to feed. Snapper anglers should have at least 2 quality nets as it is quite common to have one fish tangled in a fishing net and another snapper fish hooked and about to be landed.
Pilchards are just too soft and are normally destroyed by flathead. You can get these by the dozen at nearby bait store or you can make your own.
