Another frustrating week of volatile weather and cancelled trips because of it.
What makes it doubly aggravating is the fact that the various fronts, troughs etc, eased for a while but it’s now back to square one.
The forecasts have been quite accurate but are often late showing up, so initially it looks as though they’ve got it wrong again.
But we’re not going on 25/35knot predictions, it’s no fun and nobody thanks you for the experience.
And this week is looking like more of the same.
Maybe this supermoon is some of the issue.
Dear Daphne and Brett.
I wanted to write to you to acknowledge what a great fishing charter you are running on board the manutere. We have been on numerous trips with you lately, and always returned home with fish,after having a great day out with Brett. We have found Brett to be very knowledgeable,friendly and always keen for a laugh. we have been on many different charters over the years, and the manutere rates very highly.
Ironically, I own my own boat, yet love a day out on the manutere.
Keep up the great work. Look forward to seeing you next time!
Kind regards,
Shane Janssen

Brett & the Manutere, well i must say that over the last 8 years or more i have been out on day & overnight trips plus the TGA game fishing one base & charter tournaments with Brett, you would be hard pushed to find a better skipper who will do his upmost to put you on the fish !!! & i mean go the extra mile !! literally, always good for a yarn, (fishing, politics, rugby etc etc,) & not forgetting the overnight trips tradditional continental breakfast, beans, eggs, bacon, toast, & a wicked coffee !
The Manutere is a solid fishing platform of which i have spent many enjoyable hours aboard, and hope to spend many more !!!!
Cheers Brett, till next time ! (soon)
