Te Kiva Nui Fishing Charters

Xa wore his lucky t-shirt this morning. Our first for the morning is this 73kg yfin followed by a few of the smaller ones. Xa did most of the work. Pretty unstable morning with a few nasty swells. But all worth the effort in the end.... and sashimi for breakfast. Great stuff Xavier.

Awesome morning out at sea. 2 hours work with my mate Xavier.

First experience for Olly and Charlie. Glad I was able to set them up on a tuna each on the poito. Very satisfying to see the reaction on their faces at the end. This is Olly pulling.
