bojulabah Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hi Raiders, I am planning to visit Lord Howe soon and want to get some Wahoo and Kingies and want to avoid the dodgy operators and I have been told some are good and some are not. Could you share your experiences please, it's a long at, a lot of money and time there is precious, so want to get best bang for buck I can. Thanks.

Ryder Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I have been once. Special rates It was May, most of the charter boats were out of the water for maintenance. Half the restaurants were closed for the season. But I learned a thing or two Old gulch is the best land based kingie spot. Walk in. The jetty is great for Gars. Garfish are everywhere. The lagoon you can get double headers( Maori wrasse looka likes) Must do Neds Beach for the Kingie feeding late afternoon. The shop in the center of town charges for advice on fishing spot. Check out Joys shop and ask for legitimate tips. Take a garfish outfit. Take any food, medicine,etc you need Half the Island shuts down on Saturday , 7 day Adventist . The other half shuts on Sunday.

Berleyguts Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 25 years ago I won a trip to LHI through a fishing magazine subscription. Spent a week there and the trip included 4 days fishing on a boat with the same name as one of the high end lodges there, if that helps. It was September and we had a ball on kings. Hope that helps.
