We"re back baby! After nearly 3 weeks off the water, 2 of which I spent bedridden with the flu! It was so good to get out there again! The water clarity was amazing, as was the fishing! Decided to try chicken breast as bait today, after being told so many times it works, and it did! Which was such a relief, our last few trips prior had been like pulling teeth! We put 8 species in the bin. My only gripe about today was the opposing swells which caused us to sit beam all day. We were knocked about silly.
Thank you so much to todays crew, always great company.
Check out our trip dates in our website www.touchwoodfishing.co.nz and book your next trip.

Just spotted the write up Trust Tairāwhiti did on us for their 25/26 Annual Report. Thanks for choosing us to be included in this year's Annual Report. We appreciate your support and we look forward to working with you all again in the future. We are always keen to hear from anyone else in the Tourism Industry here who would like to get together and see how we could support each other and and/or collaborate in some way.

Lucked in spotting these two gorgeous kereru feeding on the blossoms of our plum tree. A little beauty on what is now day 14 in bed with the flu. This latest flu is no joke!
Can't wait to get out fishing again! So over being sick!!!

Stumbled across this page Gisborne NZ Guide yesterday while quietly stalking our business on google 🤦♀️😁. From what I can tell this is a very new entity, an Independently run Guide to Gisborne. There isn't a lot on their page, yet, but what is there is great. The website is even better, www.gisbornenz.co.nz. They have written such a cool write up about Touchwood Fishing Charters, Gisborne, NZ. Made us feel all warm and fuzzy. We feel, not that we are biased or anything 😅, that the writers/content creators have absolutely nailed who we are as a charter and the service we always strive to provide. So this is a shoutout from us to whomever is behind Gisborne NZ Guide, thanks for the write up, its nice to know people see who we are as a business/service provider. Go and check these guys out. We were impressed, again we are not remotely biased.
