Captain Nik Key | Whangarei Harbour, Bream Bay & Hen and Chicks Fishing Report
Captain Nik Key shares his latest fishing report from Whangarei Harbour, Bream Bay, and the Hen and Chicks - with the inner harbour holding fat snapper on anchovies and big April/May feeding action just around the corner.
