Totally Snapper
From the Experts
Snapper is an iconic Kiwi recreational catch; more has been written about snapper than any other New Zealand saltwater fish and for good reason. Prolific around our North Island shoreline and the top of the South, snapper are fun to catch, take all sorts of baits and lures, can be targeted from the shore or boat from the shallows to out deep, and occupy a wide variety of terrain types.
Small wonder then, that snapper are far and away the most popular fish targeted especially in more northern waters and with so many clever anglers, snapper fishing is a constantly evolving entity. However, because of the rapidly advancing technology on everything from hook design to the latest in rods, reels and all sorts of different lures (accompanied by innovative new techniques to get the best from them), it’s easy to be left behind.
That’s why NZ Fishing News has put out Totally Snapper – From the Experts, a high quality publication revealing the most valuable tips, tricks and secrets used by the magazine’s well-respected experts to stay ahead in their respective specialised fields.
NZ Fishing News’ deputy editor, Mark Kitteridge, a self-confessed ‘snapperaholic’ and writer of snapper-fishing books, has collated and edited these contributions, with the addition of his own extensive knowledge and experience helping to ensure that the most comprehensive information is on offer throughout.
A perfect Christmas gift for all Kiwi saltwater anglers!

Best of NZ Fishing News - Soft Plastics
Since early 2005, the 'new' technique of fishing with soft-plastic lures has swept the country. Highly successful (often out-fishing conventional bait), this technique has been widely adopted by anglers in many parts of the country. But part of the attraction is that it has put the fun back into fishing, due in part to the light, compact tackle and fine braid lines used to get the best out of these lures.
Edited by Sam Mossman and Mark Kitteridge – two renowned exponents of the sport who have stayed at the cutting edge throughout - this special issue contains a collection of some of the standout soft-plastic articles published by NZ Fishing News, as well as a couple of pieces from back in the 1980s, to give some historical perspective to the method.
So take advantage of this accumulated knowledge and experience greater success and enjoyment in future.
