Feed the Family with Fresh Fish — The Best Fishing Nets for NZ Families | Free Shipping

🛒 Browse All Fishing Nets — Free Shipping NZ-Wide

There's something deeply satisfying about feeding your family with fish you caught yourself. No supermarket markup, no mystery about where it came from — just fresh, wild-caught fish straight from the water to the dinner table. For generations, New Zealand families have relied on set nets, drag nets, and cast nets to put food on the table. With free shipping on all fishing nets from Action Outdoors, there's never been a better time to start.

Why Net Fishing Is the Best Way to Feed the Family

Rod and line fishing is a great day out, but when it comes to consistently putting fish on the table, nothing beats a well-set net. A single set net left overnight in the right spot can catch enough flounder, mullet, or snapper to feed a family for a week. Drag nets are even faster — one sweep of the beach at low tide and you've got a feed of flounder or mullet in minutes.

Net fishing is also one of the most cost-effective ways to harvest seafood. A quality NZ-made fishing net will last for years with proper care, and the cost per meal works out to just cents compared to buying fish at the shop.

The Best Nets for Feeding Your Family

🐟 Flounder Nets — The Family Favourite

Flounder (pātiki) is one of the easiest fish to catch with a net, and the whole family can get involved. Flounder nets are set in shallow harbours, estuaries, and sandy beaches — often right where you'd take the kids for a swim.

💡 Pro tip: Set your flounder net at dusk on a rising tide in a sandy harbour. Flounder move onto the flats to feed as the water comes in. Check early morning for the best results.

🐟 Mullet Nets — The Versatile Workhorse

Grey mullet (kanae) are one of the most abundant fish around NZ coastlines, and a mullet set net is one of the most versatile nets you can own. Many mullet nets also catch snapper, kahawai, trevally, and other species — making them a true multi-purpose family fishing tool.

🐟 Snapper Nets — The Premium Catch

Nothing impresses the family like a fresh snapper on the table. Snapper set nets are legal in most areas around NZ with the right mesh size, and a 40m or 60m net set in the right spot can produce incredible results.

🎣 Cast Nets — Catch Your Own Bait

Every experienced net fisher knows that fresh bait makes all the difference. A good cast net lets you catch piper, herrings, and other baitfish in minutes — which means better catches from your set nets too.

🌊 Drag Nets — Quick Feed for the Whole Family

Drag nets are the fastest way to get a family feed. Walk them along a sandy beach at low tide and you'll have flounder, mullet, and other fish in minutes. They're also brilliant for getting kids involved — everyone can help pull the net in.

How Much Fish Can You Really Catch?

Let's put some numbers on it. Here's what a typical recreational fisher can expect from one night's set netting in a good spot:

Species Daily Limit (Most Areas) Typical Catch Meals for a Family of 4
Flounder 20 per person 8–15 fish 2–4 meals
Grey Mullet 30 per person 5–15 fish 2–5 meals
Snapper 7–10 per person 2–6 fish 1–3 meals
Kahawai 20 per person 3–8 fish 1–3 meals

Daily limits vary by area — always check the MPI Recreational Fishing Rules for your region.

Getting Started — What You Need

If you're new to net fishing, here's what we recommend for a complete family fishing setup:

  1. A set net — Start with a 30m flounder or mullet net ($99–$133). These are the easiest to use and catch the most common table fish.
  2. A cast net — A 6ft or 8ft cast net ($99.99) for catching your own bait.
  3. An anchor and buoy combo — Our Set Net Anchor Combo ($89.50) has everything you need to anchor your net properly.
  4. Know the rules — Check your local MPI area for net lengths, mesh sizes, and restricted zones.

NZ Made — Supporting Local Manufacturing

Every fishing net from Action Outdoors is designed and manufactured right here in Auckland, New Zealand. We've been making fishing nets for NZ conditions for years, and we know what works. Our nets use premium Japanese monofilament and multi-mono mesh that's built to handle NZ's rocky coastlines, strong tides, and marine conditions.

When you buy from Action Outdoors, you're supporting a local NZ manufacturer — not importing cheap nets from overseas that fall apart after one season.
