FishingPro is part of Gladiator Marine, a respected family business of 20 years’ standing, run by husband and wife team, Ken and Donna Pascoe. It may be the middle of winter, when keen fishermen (and fisherwomen) dream of those days out on the Hauraki Gulf, remembering the good times trolling for and catching the big fish they know are out there, but dreams can come true by booking ahead with the experienced and professional team at FishingPro.

Ken and Donna are both very keen fishers with many sports and game fishing records and titles between them, and Gladiator Marine owns and runs one of New Zealand’s best known large luxury gamefisher charter boats, aptly named Gladiator, a 55 foot Salthouse sports fisher. Ken is a licensed captain and tries to spend as much time on board as possible, often spending up to 200 days a year fishing and cruising. Donna, in turn, regularly gets out ton Gladiator, keeping in touch with where the fish are and the current best techniques to catch the big ones and, of course, spending time talking to their fishing captains. Donna also spends time reviewing boats and the crews on the water as the season progresses, keeping the team well informed as to which vessel is right for which client.

FishingPro offer fishing charters consisting of day, overnight and multi-day trips, departing from Auckland’s Viaduct Basin, for a great day’s fishing on the water. Firms can take their corporate clients or staff out, stopping off for lunch and a swim at a beautiful sandy beach with Gladiator being the perfect fishing charter boat, with a large extended cockpit that offers the ideal fishing platform.

In addition to day trips, they have the ability to sleep up to eight and are fully self-sufficient with a water maker and ample storage meaning they also offer two to five day trips to places like the Barrier, the Mokes, and Kawau Island. Gladiator’s range of all Shimano gear from the smallest 2500 bait runner through to their Stellar 20,000 jigging rods and reels provides all the gear anyone would need. What’s more, the crew will clean and fillet the catch and have it ready in bags for clients to take home at the end of the day.

There are many good reasons to fish with FishingPro, including the fact that their crew have over 20 years’ experience fishing the Hauraki Gulf and many international water and they have top quality Shimano fishing gear. Gladiator sleeps up to eight people in total comfort, and for more information on hiring Gladiator for the best fishing charter experience, please visit the website at http://www.gladiator.co.nz  .
