"What A Great Experience" "Thanks Zane awesome fishing experience for us both, we are still talking about it".
Peter Rickards, Nelson, New Zealand, June 2012.

"I recently utilised the services of Zane Mirfin, (fishing guide extraordinaire) to take myself and my eldest daughter sea fishing. This 'one on one time' with my daughter was special for both of us and Zane did not let us down. Firstly with Zane it is not about him, it’s about his clients and making ones experience out on the water the best possible, and one to put in the memory books. He was patient, caring, knowledgeable and a true experienced professional both in terms of safety, and to not only find the fish but having the skills for us to catch them. He also has that all important passion which rubs off on everyone.

So just a recap on the day where the Maori fishing calendar said would be very unproductive. (Virtually a waste of time!)  We caught loads of snapper, gurnard, kahawai and topi on bait, jigs and flies, that did their best to pull us over the side – What a fantastic day. I’m not sure we could have kept up if it was a 'good' day."
