Hunting 20lb snapper in Houhora, New Zealand

New Zealand’s North Island is one of the best fishing spots in the country. Alistair Arkell certainly thinks so. He's skippering a Haines Signature 543SF CC and we're on the hunt for 20-pounders.

Signatures very average ride in chop and not much stability . The svdh. Wouldn't have another.

thanks for the advise..even for the 640f enclose cabin ?

[@boxz12]

Not sure about 640f but a Haines Hunter 17 would kill our 543f.
