Striker - Charters Striker Sea Charters - Become Part of the Legend
Deepsea Game fishing Trips, Mayor, White Island, Ranfurly Banks & the Three Kings

Striker Sea Charters Ltd is owned by Rik Flowerday and skippered by Rusty Ensor and Chris Donovan. Striker is a 48ft Riveria that has been renown for game fishing and catching Marlin since the 90s when now retired skipper Bruce Smith operated her in the Bay of Islands. She has caught two notable catches both black marlin 1000lb and travelled as far as Cairns in Australia and Vanuatu several times.

Striker is in NZ Maritime survey to work offshore areas such as Ranfurly Banks and Three Kings and is set up as a game fishing machine and to accommodate 8 anglers in style on overnight and multi day trips and parties of up to 18 on daytrips. Russell Ensor or Rusty as he is known by, has been skippering charters since he was a teenager learning from his dad Hugh who owned Blue Ocean Charters and operating the Ratihi & Te Kuia for many many years. Rusty has followed his dads footsteps and carried on his legacy running charters and has accumulated a huge following in the Bay of Plenty and wider that keep coming back year after year. Rusty and his brother Scotty (who is Strikers relief skipper) have a world of knowledge and experience behind the helm, and they fish with two generations of fishing spots up their sleeve. They always love to share their knowledge and enthusiasm to all who are wanting to learn and will work hard to ensure everyone gets the results they came for. Every trip with Striker is usually an epic trip of fun laughter and HARD out fishing!!!

We get asked a lot…”What’s your best jig”? 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣Difficult to answer because they are all our children, and we love them all. A different question is: “if you had a pick a single Catch jig to use the rest of your life, what would it be”? ☝️☝️☝️☝️Without hesitation, Double Trouble because it is so versatile. It’s both a slow pitch jig and a mechanical jig, depending which way you rig it, and what’s more, it’s really really good at Catching fish. Double Trouble is also a firm favourite of Rust B Gone ✨💫🌟 from Striker - Charters. It’s been tested and proven in so many countries from around the world. Whether you are chasing bluefin tuna in New Zealand, GTs in Fiji, amberjack in Australia, sailfish in the Philippines, queenfish in Malaysia, halibut in Alaska, grouper in Mauritius, coral trout in the Middle East, snook in South Africa……the list goes on….you need this jig.

Post up your favourite Catch Double Trouble pic, and tag us….best 10 pics will get a free jig.

The Catch Double Trouble is a cutting edge design innovation resulting in a lure with two distinctly different fishing actions
• Super bright colours to attract fish from further away
• UV Blast topcoat
• High quality blue glow in the dark paint for increased visibility in deep water
• Attach hook and leader to tail end for using as a mechanical jig
• Attach hook and leader to the eye end for using as a fluttering slow pitch jig
COLOURS: Orange Assassin, Shady Lady, White Warrior, Rainbow Warrior, Black Ninja, Paua Power
WEIGHTS: 30g, 60g, 80g, 100g, 200g, 300g.
