Dawnbuster Charters are helping out Students at Victoria Uni Wellington by take samples from yellowtail kingfish to investigate ecological and genetic population structures. Also finding out about the increasing ocean temps and expansion of Kingi’s down south .Cool guys just another way we give back to the Seafood sector. We also take scientists out when craying who measure and record every cray we catch and also take test samples from 4 pots thru out whole season and we record for Our Cramac area 👍

Spring has sprung and the days are getting warmer 🌞 yahoo, so that means we are taking bookings for charters starting late November .Get a group of 4 or up to 6 and have fun and take home a great feed of fish with your crew Andrew Beno and Mitch .We supply the gear but you bring food and drink 🍻price has gone up but the service is still great and a day on the briney is better than one on shore 🎣🐟 Pm or phone Tracy 0279612716
