A brief history about your Skipper Hadyn Patterson has chosen to use his love for the ocean, NZ’s fishery and his passion for boats, as his primary source of income for over 22 years. In that time he has chased tuna commercially on the West Coast, commercially caught mullet, flounder and kawahi from the shallows of the Firth of Thames and Hauraki Gulf, to the unknown depths of the East and West Coast catching hapuka, bluenose and bass in every form possible. He has a wealth of knowledge even in such places as The Three Kings and has an ability to find fish anywhere. He feels his knowledge, of understanding how fish feed and move, from his commercial experience really gives him an edge over the competitors. In more recent years he has lost count of the thousands and thousands of large feisty NZ kingfish he has secured for his customers. Having imposed, along with most other operators, a one kingfish per person per day policy the fun is in the catching anyway. In some cases multiples of fish per angler are photographed and returned allowing for a strong fishery for years to come. Chasing the ravenous Hauraki Gulf gannet workups rank as one of his favourite things to offer and he prefers to use any version of lure over bait with the exception of live-baiting kingfish. Hadyn likes to offer a day filled with learning and fun. Perhaps its refining your sounder reading techniques or a simple knot tying exercise. Hadyn feels strongly that whilst you are with him you should soak up his wealth of knowledge so it then increases your own odds when you return to your own fishing experiences.
