Saltwater
Just 15 minutes from the Omapere jetty you can capture huge striped marlin, yellow fin tuna, kingfish, snapper, bluenose and giant bass just to name a few.
The striped marlin out from the Hokianga are some of the biggest in the world today. Tag and release are encouraged.
Beyond the majestic sand dunes, the sea life is abundant. It is not unusual to see dolphins swimming along side the boat, seals lazing on the surface or huge sunfish and marlin feeding on unsuspecting shoals of small fish.
