Around 20 years ago I was invited out to catch Kingfish on “Freedom”. My fishing life changed that day. My mates and I book a few trips a year with Scotty, chasing Kingfish, Dolphinfish and Marlin. Our best results were bagging out on Kingfish, a 1.5m Jewfish, and an amazing 15 Marlin in one day. Scotty is a hunter on the water.

Scotty’s ability to find marlin is the reason I keep chartering him. He and his crew are so good, I now head home from New Zealand every year just to chase billfish. In 2018 we landed and and released 12 black marlin in a day, then backed up by catching 15 the next day! If you want to laugh a lot, learn a lot, and catch a lot, then I can’t recommend Haven Charters highly enough.
