Blue Moki (above). I couldn't believe my luck. My first time soft baiting in the Wellington Harbour I hooked this monster moki 17 lb Blue Moki on the first cast!! says Anton. I thought it was snapper at first as they love the soft baits but when I got it to the surface I saw it was a big moki. I was Stoked!

Congratulations Anton. You sure are "the man" when it comes to catching those big fish!

Look here for sea fishing off the Kaikoura Coast which is a good place to catch blue moki. See boat fishing at Motunau Beach in North Canterbury. Fishing for Yellowtail kingfish and trolling for albacore tuna .
