As the old saying goes, give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime. Treat a man to a day-long fishing charter, and earn yourself a friend for eternity.

We're making it really easy to rack up a few friend points with today's treat for a full day of fishing out on the Auckland Harbour, including fishing rod hire, with The Red Boats for $45.

With two 45ft, purpose built launches at their disposal, The Red Boats know how to put on a top quality day out on the water. You will depart from Z Pier, Westhaven, at 7am, and spend the day with a crew of professional fishing skippers, who will use their local knowledge and the latest in electronic fish finding equipment to help you land a couple of big ones. The only thing you need to bring along is the bait (and even that you can organise with them to have supplied in advance).

Whether you are an experienced seadog, or new to the water, this treat is a great day out. Just take a look at the feedback on their Facebook page. Go on, reel in a winner with The Red Boats.
