The Kahawai Experience
Kahawai also known as sea trout or Australian Salmon
Have become the game fish sport for thousands of fishos throughout Nz
Growing up to 1 meter in length and 2-3 kg they prove the ultimate challenge for light gear and fly fisher people from all over the world
Kahawai behaves like the ghosts of our seas. One moment they are there in thousands, encircling you at high speed. Then they collectively decide to disappear. They appear to be sensitive to the noises a diver makes because they will come from hundreds of meters away to investigate. Their counter-shading is so effective that they become invisible long before disappearing out of view as the photo shows.
Spawning around march through to may they find the warmer shallow waters of the coromandel and firth of Thames the place to be and live in there thousands Feeding in schools they herd anchovies and small fish into balls that create feeding Frenzies

Appropriate tackle is 4-6 mono or braid is even better as the bites are small. As their tremendous fighting ability has earned them a reputation as a top light tackle game fish, especially on salt-water fly (SWF). Having a soft mouth and the ability to leap up to 2m meters out of the water tests the skill of the most experienced trout Anglers
Hunting down the Schools for anglers has become 2nd nature for the Thames charters team on the purpose-built boat FISH 4 T And is seen 5-6 days a week Hunting through the islands and endless mussel farms (proving to be the main food source ) In the Firth of Thames
