It's been awhile since I've been there(1990).Fished with Rick Polick(sp) for 5 days out of Whakatane New Zealand.Rick is an ex San Diego skipper who caters to our style of fishing.Made flying fish and mackeral for bait for the yellows. Nice fish but it is rare that you will hook anything close to a 100lb'er.Lot of 40lb plus fish though.
Lot of the local skippers go for the glamour fish,Marlin.Most didn't have bait tanks but things might of changed since then.
