Another fairly volatile week of weather, but we got a few trips away.
After some good signs that the fish had moved in to the shallower water, it turned out a bit premature, with more slow fishing meaning we ended up back in the deeper water outside Motiti with quite good results. Reasonable amounts of tarakihi and red snapper and some good sized snapper in the mix as well.
Saturday’s forecast looked a bit marginal, but it turned out to be not too bad, although the fishing was a bit slower than the previous days.
Still, not a bad result, and by hometime it had turned into a sunny settled day.
Thank you for a great day yesterday. The trip was a surprise getaway for Robs 60th birthday and none of us had done a charter trip before nor can we fish for Terakihi as snapper, trevally and kingfish are target species in the Coromandel.
A most enjoyable day

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)

Just a quick email to thank you for a nice fishing trip today. Very enjoyable. Weather was kind to us and everyone caught fish.
Hopefully will return to the Mount again next year, in which case I will check you out for another trip.
