Kingfish Charter Fishing
Three Kings Fishing Charter 2026
5 Day Charter, January 2026
In 1997, since I caught Kingfish with lure on Great Barrier Island for the first time at the age of 23, I have been chasing it with the dream that one day I will meet Kingfish weighing more than 40kg. With the Enchanter’s team for more than 10 years, we have been able to meet many Kingfish so far, including 6 expeditions to the Three Kings Islands and 3 expeditions to Ranfurly Banks. Over 30kg has been caught 20 in the past, and most of them have been with the Enchanter team. On January 2, 2026, the time finally came - 48kg, fork length 153cm, total length 164cm. The beast was very tall, round and fat, and it was the largest of all the Kingfish that I had ever seen. I was really happy at the moment I’ve been waiting for decades. My dream come true.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Captain Todd of this fishing trip, TC and JB of the crew, and Captain Lance and Captain Rhys who have been close to me for many years.
