Join the Taipa Tavern Fishing Club
Simply pay the $5 joining fee which entitles you to compete in the 6 competitions held on various weekends over the year with a free prizegivining dinner each competition weekend. This weekend the Sunday is at fishing competition. We went out at 7am in lovely sunny weather and caught a few snapper but sadly no prizewinners. YOur best bet is to call the Taipa Tavern on 09 406 0757 or you can ask Rochelle about it all. Stay at Cable Bay and have a great weekend away with the boys or bring the family with you. Easy boat launching is available at Taipa and Mangonui - or just catch a fish off the beach in front of the apartments
Fishing for Big Snapper in Doubtless Bay
Snapper fishing is a favourite pastime in Doubtless Bay, and lately the fishing has been great. Bring your boat or fish off the rocks or beach. Set a contiki off Cable Bay too. Ample parking for the boat at Golden Sand and great fishing just in front of the holiday apartments.
Or you can charter a boat and go our with the experts -Pisces Charters or Castaway Boating are recommended as being locals who know where the fish are biting. So whether you are in to soft baiting, or traditional bait fishing, Doubtless Bay is a haven of tried and true fishing spots.
The big snapper pictured was caught off Castaway Boating charter and the customers were very pleased with their fishing time. Best time I feel in Doubtless Bay is an incoming tide at dusk.
Launching boats is easy at Taipa Ramp, Taipa Point Road( 2km from the Golden Sand Beachfront Accommodation) or at Mangonui Ramp, Silver Egg Road( 5km) but fishing in Rangaunu Harbour is a short drive away too.
Anyway, enjoy your fishing in Doubtless Bay and tight lines!
