Norfolk Island Fish
Norfolk Island Fishing is defined by the locals’ “10 Second Rule”: if the fish are not biting within the first 10 seconds, it’s time to move the boat or further along the shore. This simple practice flaunts the island's thriving marine ecosystem, where the waters are so abundant with fish that long waits between bites are unheard of.
With oceans teeming with common Norfolk Island fish like trumpeter, bonito, skipjack, groper, wahoo, snapper, trevally, and mackerel, every cast is an exciting opportunity to reel in big game.
For deeper dwellers like yellowfin tuna and kingfish, get out on the water with a Norfolk Island fishing charter or a Norfolk Island fishing tour. These charters and tours are guided by experienced locals who know the best spots to maximise your chances of landing an impressive catch, along with all the tips, tricks, and equipment needed to make your fishing adventure successful and memorable.
