Does anyone know what the fresh water fishing is like in New Zealand?

Jan 15, 2007 by lloydchristmas_29 | Posted in Other - Australia

Can someone fill me in, I'm thinking about moving and I love to fish for Bass, and Muskie... I know these fish don't exist there but is there anything alike? Are there any Ranger or Nitro type fishing boats availiable there(low in the water bass style)?


Here in the South Island the fishing is as good as it gets, with the possible exception of Iceland. Brown and rainbow trout, and, in a few rivers, salmon.

by admin

Japan- Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has announced the release of the all-new BF115 (115PS) outboard engine, to debut at Honda outboard engine dealers throughout Japan.

The all-new BF115 combines a 2.4 liter engine, the largest in its class*1, with the same BLAST*2 (Boosted Low Speed Torque) air/fuel ratio and ignition timing technology made popular in Honda’s mid-to-large outboard engine series, to achieve prodigious acceleration along with outstanding torque characteristics over a wide range of engine speeds from low to high. The versatile BF115 can be used in a broad range of applications, from fishing boats to runabouts for leisure use.

A lean-burn system has also been added, boosting fuel economy by 20%*3 over the previous model*4 to deliver a combination of powerful acceleration and outstanding fuel economy. The BF115’s battery charging performance, the best in its class*5, helps support the ever-increasing need for onboard device power.
