I attended Lucas' Salt Fly seminar on 17 October and found it to be very informative. Lucas has a huge amount of knowledge and was able to communicate this to the attendees in an interesting and engaging manner. I can recommend this seminar to others interested.

Lucas is a wonderful guide. Besides putting you onto fish, he improves your casting technique (kindly) and increases your knowledge of Kingfish behavior. You leave your days with Lucas a better fisherman and with an appreciation of the great fishery around Tauranga.

Had a great half-day with Lucas in January, fascinating to start to be able to spot the rays and learn about eagles (no kingfish) vs. sting rays (may have kingfish). The harbour" is huge and beautiful and the boat (though unusual for an America Flats fisherman) is extremely well kitted out and worked perfectly for fly casting- surprisingly (for those of us used to being poled and needing quiet approaches)

Fishing with Lucas in the beautiful Tauranga harbour was a world class experience my wife and I have now done twice and hope to do more. We had a variety of great experiences whether it was cruising the flats for kingfish, drifting over schools of snapper, casting at structure to tease something out, or anchored up for lunch in the calm of the turning tide. Lucas worked non-stop to put us onto fish, was quick to spot opportunities and always had a plan. Highly recommended to all.

My son and I booked a half day session with Lucas last week. We had a great day on the water and caught a few ray riders". Targeting kings in less than a metre of water was a new experience and watching the eat at close range got our hearts racing. We learnt a lot from Lucas and enjoyed his company as he is easy going and amiable. I would happily recommend a day on the water guided by Lucas. Cheers Anthony Bickersteth"

Never been out with a guide before, and I quickly realized even if I fished the same spots at the same time, in the same boat using the same flies, I wouldn’t have caught a thing. Lucas was really fun to fish with, and knew the area extremely well. He did everything he could to bring me plenty of opportunities to catch fish and sure enough we were successful. Would highly recommend and will be keen to come back to beautiful Tauranga with Lucas to catch another king!

I had a great day fishing with Lucas on Tauranga Harbour and was thrilled to catch my first Kingfish. Lucas is very knowledgable, friendly, andprofessional, and his boat and gear are top-notch. I won't hesitate to recommend a day out with Kingtide to my friends.

Capt Lucas is a fantastic guide! Full of energy and enthusiasm for the amazing fishery he has on his door step and goes the extra mile for his clients. Highly recommend a trip out with Lucas and his well appointed and safe boat!

Great day out with Lucas. Booked two days but bad weather meant it wasn't going to happen as arranged. Lucas rearranged a day at short notice unfortunately I couldn't squeeze in the second though Lucas did offer me a day but it didn't fit my schedule. Top class kit on board though I used my own. Managed to cross a fly caught kingfish off the bucket list. Will be back next time I'm in New Zealand for sure.
