About
Kaikoura Fishing Tours skipper Tomo, has had years of experience at sea, taking fisher men and women on fishing adventures in the beautiful Kaikoura area.
Crayfishing and fishing: great for the keen fisherman or woman wanting that bit longer chasing Blue cod, Sea perch with the odd Terakihi and Groper on the good days with a bit longer travel time. However, the Tessa B is built for comfort and speed so getting to those spots a bit further away is no problem.
