We had a 4 hour fishing trip on 4th Jan 2014 - there were 9 of us on the boat and we only caught 5 fish (which i know is out of their control) However, the guy we had on our boat did not seem...More
Arline are no longer operating and the website address directed us to anglers anonymous who took the family snapper fishing today. A fabulous morning with the sea and scenery ideal . Saw dolphins and penguins along the way. We were not disappointed with the fishing...More
The fishing trip was our first activity of our honeymoon (some might say a strange way to spend it!) but we had a fantastic day. The water was calm and thankfully the fish were biting. Murray and Terry made sure that we were baited up...More
Believe it or not you are not the first couple to join us on the first day of the honeymoon. Recently we had the pleasure of taking a couple out on their wedding anniversary so keep us in mind should you get the urge. Many...More
We had a fantastic day out on the water with Murray and Terry. Two men with a wealth of knowledge of not only the local fishing but also the history of the Bay of Islands. We fished in a nice sheltered spot (very successfully!) as...More
We're glad you enjoyed your time out with us and hopefully it took your mind off the continuously moving ground back home for a while. You definitely got one of our best days fishing during that week. Many thanks for taking the time to send...More

It was a pleasure having you guys on board (twice). Thanks for your review and we look forward to seeing you all again sometime soon. Regards Murray
The day dawned slightly overcast, we were greated at the boat by a smiling skipper (Murray), a quick trip over to Russell to pick up the ballance of the fisho's and we were away. We took a cut lunch and drinks with us and there...More
Thanks for your review. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the trip. The fishing was pretty awesome for this time of the year and you definitely got a great day for it. Hopefully we can recreate the fishing if the weather behaves and we can get...More
What a great trip! It was my brother's birthday on Feb. 23rd so all of us celebrated by fishing with Arline's and having a fish Barb-B-Q that night! The 6 of us from New York were joined by 2 Kiwis on board (Tony and Brent)...More
I enjoyed having your family on board. After your comments about house sharing and meeting the locals, I was glad that we had a couple of outgoing Kiwis on board as well. The dynamics between the groups seemed to work well. The reminder about the...More
Murray is the best: pleasant, entertaining, and he knows how to catch these fish. The boat Captain, Jake is a fishing machine. I fished 2 days in a row with Arline. The boat is very stable (the waters in the bay are inherently stable so...More
One thing that has always amazed me is how fast everyone settles in and introduces themselves to everyone else. The interaction and willingness to get involved makes most trips an absolute pleasure for me as well. I'm glad that you enjoyed your trip with us...More
I went out on a great day on the Arline. And while the fish were a little reluctant to bite in their usual large numbers/sizes on that day, the relaxed friendliness and professionalism of Murray (the owner/deckhand) and Terry (the skipper) was one of the...More
Thanks for your review (I'm not allowed to mention reviewers names.) I wish that we could've produced better fish but not even Terry's magic touch can produce hordes of big hungry Snapper every time. I'm glad that you appreciate our efforts though. It was a...More
