Stewart Island bottom fishing!
Shooting a beast above? Hook a feast below as well! Deep sea fishing off the South coast of New Zealand is a great way enjoy the rugged landscape of Stewart Island and catch some of the tastiest cold water seafood in the world!
Bottom fishing for Blue cod and Groper is action packed and rewarding. However, when your arm gets too tired to reel in another cod, relax and enjoy guessing what will come up in the craypots or Bluff oyster dredge! Those with free diving experience can enjoy pristine dive spots for paua (abalone), crayfish (lobster), kina (urchins), and a myriad of separable fish!
The crew will cook your catch throughout the day, letting you try a sampling of the huge diversity in seafood the subarctic waters have to offer, and prepare anything you wish to take with you as well.
Mollyhawks and albatrosses are common sights on the boat, along with Hector’s and Bottlenose dolphins and Fur seals. Whales, Leopard seals, and great White sharks also habituate the waters near Stewart Island.
Keep your eyes peeled because the ocean if full of mystery and you never know what special creature you may see!
