This salty sea dog needs no introduction! you may have seen him in some of our campaigns or bumped into him on the water while skippering on one of the Hauraki Express boats. George Burke is a renowned skipper & talented angler who spends more time on the sea than on land! his knowledge on the Hauraki gulf is dangerously good & makes keeping you on the fish look easy.
Yeti 12oz Rambler
My recent purchase of a yeti mug not only changed my social status amongst peers but as a bonus, it is one handily little mug. This thing keeps hot stuff hot and cold stuff cold. In the mornings this little weapon is loaded with an extra-strong “Bourkeys Perkys” percolator coffee to get me into the zone for charters then come afternoon is rinsed out and a cheeky Sailor Jerry’s and coke takes its place. And would you believe it's available at the fisherman's den.
Daiwa Saltiga 5000h
My saltiga 5000h and C82HS combo Is always easily accessible when I’m out on the water. You never know when you’ll see the flatties busting up, or a kingy… This PE6 combo is the perfect Hauraki Gulf topwater set. With 15kg of drag, there is still a lot of stopping power for any big dogs lurking.
Oldies I & Oldies II Playlist
When you’re dealing with a different bunch of guys on charter each day it really pays off to play some music that everyone will enjoy. Well have I got the playlists for you. A timeless collection of music to get you through those long days on the water or to drown out you’re your mate who won’t stop telling you about why he’s a better fisherman than you.
Radar® EV Path®
These bad boys are the type of glasses that’ll make woman fear you and fish want you...My glasses have the deepwater Prizm Lens which turns the world into full HD and makes spotting bait under the surface super easy. The main thing is you’ll be super fast out there. Proven to give an extra 2knot boat speed.
