About this charter
Based out of Sandspit and Kawau, Assassin Fishing Charters is owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Brett and Chris Rathe. Widely recognized as pioneers who introduced modern softbait fishing techniques to New Zealand waters, the skippers bring decades of specialized knowledge and field development to every offshore excursion. The charter operation traverses the fertile expanses of the northern Hauraki Gulf, exploring waters extending from Kawau Bay offshore to Great Barrier Island. Affiliated with SpotX Fishing, the crew combines precise topographic charting with seasoned seasonal awareness to locate pelagic runs, snapper workups, and reef-dwelling species in open water. Charters emphasize technical casting, lightweight tackle applications, and guided tuition for guests keen to refine their artificial lure methods. Whether drifting along remote islands or working outer gulf current lines, Assassin Fishing Charters delivers an instructive, disciplined fishing experience grounded in authentic New Zealand maritime expertise.
