About the Ranfurly Banks:

This is a trip of a life time. The opportunity to box with 30+kg Yellowtail Kingfish on Enchanter, a magnificent 53ft boat with 8 berths. The Three Kings Islands are located in the Tasman Sea, 60 nautical miles to the NW of North Island, New Zealand and comprise many miles of seamounts and ranges with rugged rocky seabeds and drop offs. Rising from 2000 metres to 40 metres. The islands consisting of the Three Kings Islands, and the Princes Group also provide great opportunities to target BIG Yellowtail Kingies on surface lures such as Stickbaits and Poppers

The strong currents excite the likes of Yellowtail Kingfish and provide an abundance of food for Hapuka, Bass, Bluenose and Trumpeter. There is also the chance of Yellowfin Tuna and Marlin, as well as the mighty Gladiator of the Sea - The Broadbill Swordfish!

Why so good?. The Ranfurly is isolated and remote and not accessible to the daiily recreational angler. It is a firm favorite with the world’s jigging specialists. We have organised two back-to-back trips in February 2013. Each trip offers 5 fully catered nights on board Enchanter, with the most amazing Jigging you will ever have experienced. Representatives of Jigstar Africa will accompany guests on both trips.

We have Jigged the "Three Kings" with Lance Goodhew, and Steve Gray on Enchanter in 2010 and 2011, and both trips provided some of the best fishing of our lives!
