"We were joined by my brother and his wife. Loved the first day so much we went out with John a few days later. John is a wonderful host, his knowledge of fish is unsurpassed and he makes sure everyone on board is hooked up and ready to catch a big one. We didn't land the Barra, but we did catch an assortment of fish over the two days and had a thoroughly good time. We recommend John and cannot wait for our next day out on the water."

"Wanting to spend time together I researched a few fishing charter companies and settled on Gone Fishing Charters. Combined a Whale watch with a day out bottom fishing was a good choice. Knowledgable crew ensuring a fair go at a catch for all. Nothing is certain in fishing, weather or a catch but for all on this trip I'd say most had fishing satisfaction with a nice little catch by all, shared out at the end of the trip, cleaned and bagged."

"After waiting many days for the weather to clear, our group of 4 novices finally got on board yesterday afternoon, along with 5 Kiwis with a lot more experience. Our lack of experience wasn't an issue at all, as Tony (owner and "deckhand") and Bob (skipper) gave us all the guidance, support and expertise we needed."
