These fantastic eating fish are found in deep water knolls. Although Bluenose and Bass prefer deeper water than Hapuka these fish can be caught in the same area using the same techniques.
Areas fished may include, back of the Penguin rise, the Mayor Knolls and The Rangiteras.
We fish a lot of unchartered knolls that haven’t been hammered by every fisherman in town!
We have droppers and a winch on the boat to aid very deep knoll fishing.
