An interesting week. We tried around Motiti midweek and did well, with mainly tarakihi.
Friday night/Saturday we overnighted at Mayor, steady fishing and a good variety of species, and a windy trip home. Sunday, a good forecast so we headed back to Motiti only for the weather to change completely for the worse, forcing us to the Eastern side where it was calm, but not much fish, a few snapper and a couple of tarakihi.
Things eased a bit so we worked the middle ground which was pretty much a non event, a couple of big blue cod and snapper. An excellent crew enjoyed the day regardless, but a tough one.
Monday we headed out to Mayor, the predicted rain didn’t show, Coromandel stopped most of it and we did ge t some on the way home, but the fishing was good despite a lot of current so a big improvement on the Sunday
Good afternoon Brett,
Thanks for the memorable trip on Tuesday. This was a great experience once again and i have picked up some more tips which i can carry forward, your knowledge is extensive and you don\'t mind passing this on. Not only was the fishing great but i meet new people and have been lucky to share this experience with them. Even Kent the visitor from Australia enjoyed himself and the chilly bins were full of beautiful Terakihi which all the families have enjoyed eating.
I look forward to joining you again very soon on the boat on another trip.
Thanks again till then. Theo

What more can I say but once again simply magic mate, The Northpower Rotorua boy’s head back inland with a bounty of fresh fish and memories worthy of a book.
We have utilised your services on a few occasions and each time has been memorable taking home more than our fair share of fish, but this trip was exceptional.
I have been charter fishing with various parties and skippers but never have I been on an overnighter to Mayor and been home by 1130am with six plus hours of fishing left and chilly bins full of Snapper and Tarakihi, needless to say you had 10 very happy Northpower fisho's.
Cheers to Ben and Wade for their assistance, and for creating a little healthy competition amongst us, and for putting up with Les and his goofy photo poses all good fun mate, what a fantastic trip.
In fishing terms Brett you’re all keepers that more than measure up, look forward to the next trip or ten.
Kindest Regards
The Northpower Rotorua Boys
Thanks Brett for taking us out yesterday, most had a great day especially Peter who caught the big king fish.
