BIG TUNA GREYMOUTH - 1 Spot Left!

 

This trip is to film and photograph the GIANT BLUEFIN tuna that congregate off the West Coast of the South Island.

Dates will be travel down on 26th August, then approx 2 full days including nights at sea.

We will be approx 50 miles out in the Hokitika Trench where we will burley all night hoping to attract big tuna to dive

on at first light the next morning. If in the first day we achieve what we came for we will return to port and I will return

part of trip cost, if not we will stay another night and try again. It is not gauranteed we will succeed but chances are

good with past experience and the boat and skipper I have chosen for the mission.

My last trip down we burleyed in approx 12 fish from 200kgs to approx 300kgs, they fed all around me for 30 minutes

until one was caught by a line fisherman.

This trip is not to catch one just to feed, swim, film and photograph them, it is possible in this situation they could stay

with us all day but it has never been done before so we will be the pioneers of this style of trip.

 

 

(These tuna were caught by the line fishermen on the boat Darren was on)

 

If you want to do something in your life that is EXTREME with results that will be etched in your mind forever don't miss this opportunity,

I will never forget my 30  minutes swimming with these GIANT fish.

 

Trip cost per person $2800 plus airfares and accomodation which we may or may not need depending on how trip plans out.

There are only 5 spots available.

As I said if we get the job done early some monies will be returned after trip.

 

Just confirming: This is a film/photograph trip ONLY - We will NOT be spearing these tuna
