We started last week with another short day on Tuesday, so worked around the 9 mile, inside Motiti .
We had no sign at all until about 7 miles out, due to a big swell running, then had heaps on the sounder, big clouds of fish, which turned out to be sweep, or grey maomao.
Hadn’t seen many of them for years, but they came up in quantity this day. After a while, I thought we could try around the Okaparus, as we’d done well there on the Sunday on snapper. Bad move, we barely caught a thing for the rest of the trip, a day [or 2] can be a very long time when fishing.
The next couple of days, we headed back to the deeper water and had better and more consistent catches. Good variety too.
Hi Daphne ,
Please thank Brett for a great trip the other day
We didn’t get on to the Kingi’s on this occasion but we do appreciate the conditions were against us and we know Brett did everything possible . Still, everyone got plenty of fillets to take home and we thoroughly enjoyed the day
You will see us again and we will recommend you
Regards
