Another week of mainly good fishing.
We’re still working the area outside Motiti for the bottom fishing as it’s been the most consistent. Thursday we only shifted twice all day, with mainly tarakihi ticking along all day. Friday we went back to the same spots and had a lot slower day. Tried other , shallower areas but no go anywhere.
Our overnighter saw a few snapper caught around Mayor that evening with good tarakihi fishing, minus a few to the tax collector[a 2.5m Mako].
We also got 6 albacore and had a marlin jumping by the boat so a double bonus. The drift fishing was slow, just a few bluenose.
Sat/Sun was similar, with a nice hapuku, bass and small gemfish caught before the N.E. slop got the better of some of the crew and we headed home.
Thanks for a fabulous day on the water. Just ate some great fish and washed it down with nz Pinot.

Hi Daphne
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks to Brett for the great day yesterday. Boys had a heap of fun, especially once over the touch of motion sickness, and were very thrilled to catch some fish. They are in the fridge for a feast tonight!
Hope to get back before too long and do it all again.
Kind Regards
Jo Davis
They had a great time and a special thanks to Brett for making the day so enjoyable for them!!! Jordan has not stopped talking about his day out fishing and has been proudly showing the photos of his day to everyone he comes into contact with!! They would love to go out again next year if we return to the BOP if Brett would have them on board again!!
Regards,
Lynne.
