Quite a busy week, with the fishing continuing it’s volatile nature. Earlier in the week we continued in the 80m+ range with good results.
The Pinns and around Mayor mainly producing tarakihi and red snapper.
Friday was a shocker though, a first in 18 years doing this, nothing takeable caught, some barracuda and scarpies were it. And 2 miniscule mackeral around Karewa.
Unbelievable.
So we worked around Motiti the next few days, and did quite well, still mainly tarakihi, but the odd nice snapper among them.
The effects of the big tides and moon are the most of the reason, tidal currents, wind and swell all over the place. When it eases it’s ok, when they pick up it gets tough.
It’s summer though, hot and calm so good enough.
Hi there Brett, just a quick thank you for the lovely fishing trip we had today.
Myself my wife and parents had a fantastic time.
It may have been a bit choppy today but luckily my family didn't supply any extra burley and really enjoyed the trip. We have about 2kgs of Terakihi filets in the fridge which we look forward to enjoying tomorrow.
After trying different charter boats I have found Tauranga Marine Charters by far the best.
We really appreciate you helping and guiding my wife and parents who are first time fishers to get set up and get onto some fish.
Looking forward to doing it again sometime.
Many thanks
Aaron

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.
Regards
