Wildcat fishing charter testimonials - fish with the best!

Tracy & family, New Zealand

A lovely day out with our good friends Leigh & Kai! A beauty day on the Bay and a hell of a catch, plenty of rig, snapper, cod, jock stewarts, gurnard & sand sharks which were put backs!


Neaper & Sharmer family. New Zealand

Great trip, great day, caught shark, cod kingfish, tuna.


Chrissy, Collingwood., New Zealand

We were very impressed with Wildcat Charters fishing trip. From the safety instructions given by Leigh at the start right through to the expertly filleted fish, it was truly an experience. The boat was well presented, very comfortable and well equipped. We were also offered tea/coffee and biscuits. The fishing was great with a wide variety caught. Leigh and his crew were on hand to offer expert advice with baiting and removing fish which was done efficiently, ensuring the fish which was not of size and quota returned to the sea unharmed.


Carolyn & Wayne Brennan, New Zealand

What a great trip, we caught loads of fish for tea. I hope I can come back some again. Thanks a lot from the only girl on the trip!


Jannika, Blenheim, New Zealand

Captains Log: Star Trek.....(jokes)
Early morning start, Golden Bay turned on the works for us, brilliant sunrise, calm waters, great skipper. Catching fish straight away, perch, cod, shark - spotty dog & sand variety, kahawai & snapper. Just the newly-weds & the skipper onboard, 4 rods going, all calm one minute "nek minnit" all 4 rods blazing. Tremendous fishing, first time on the mainland, definitely not the last.
Went trawling for kahawai, they were jumping on our hooks, non-stop action. Leigh sees a flare go off. Immediately we set off to investigate. Two people on a boat which doesn't start & a friend diving they haven't seen for over an hour. We set off to look for the friend, we find him on a rock surrounded by seals. He gets rescued. We go to his friends tie them up and tow them back to port.
Fresh fish for lunch, oh for sure! Great Day Fishing - everyone back home is going to hear about Wildcat Charters & hopefully some of them come down. Thanks, Leigh for a great day!!
