Back to a one day week as the changeable weather continues. We got away on Saturday in excellent settled conditions and had a stop at the Pinns, but...

Well we snuck another weekend in, which has to be a bonus at present. Both good calm days too,. Saturday was windless, sunny and warm, we even...

Another saturated weekend, but we got another couple of days in midweek, with more good fishing. The autumn and winter months are generally amongst...

No fishing this week. We had the boat out for maintenance and survey, so a bit of paint laid on in between the rain regularly...

We finally got an overnighter in Wednesday/Thursday. A bit wet on the way out, but it had settled quite well by the morning. The bottom fishing went...

Similarly to last week, we’re still getting skippies and having dolphins checking us out on a regular basis. The fishing also has been quite...

A fairly typical week as far as conditions go, with good settled days interspersed with quite strong West/SW winds. We got a couple of days in...

A quiet week but a settled weekend meant 2 good days of fishing for us. Saturday we worked inside Motiti initially, for mainly small snapper, so...

A calm and clear week was nice, as was the fishing. A half day inside Motiti midweek was ok, with plenty of snapper caught but more undersize...

Very nice to see settled weather over Easter. Still a good mix of fish being caught in the 30/40m areas around Motiti, with snapper, kingfish, often...

Yet another week of Easterlies causing yet more cancelled trips, a common theme at the moment. It generally looks ok at the beginning of the week,...

The weather has been the hardest thing about the fishing at the moment. We were out one day last week, but the South Easterlies have been making it...

We got off to a good start to the week on Tuesday with light winds and good steady fishing around Motiti. The snapper are in good numbers in the 20...

A bit better week weatherwise and our first Hapuku trip in a while as well. And a really nice day in all respects. We got a heap of skippies on the...

Well, we had a small improvement from last week with at least getting one day’s fishing in, on Waitangi Day. A nice day too, sunny and calm....

February got off to a slow start after an excellent January with enough easterly wind over the week to force cancellation of a few trips. A bit...

Plenty of good weather and fishing trips away last week The fishing continues to be okay, but challenging enough that the more experienced fishers...

The big tides are still having an effect on the fishing, with very strong currents from the East continuing. A bit frustrating as the fish are...

Another variable week as far as the fishing goes. We’ve had some good days and some hard ones, mainly due to the wildly varying sea...

It’s been another interesting year, aren’t they all. We had good fishing from the new year, and the best winter in a long time up until...

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...

Last week was an interesting one, with the supermoon having quite an effect on the tides and currents. We worked around Motiti early in the...

After some pretty average days, I gave Town Pt one last go, with the same result, very little fish, so we won’t be trying there for some...

Nice settled weather from the beginning of the week, so we headed out towards the Pinns on Thursday, and had good fishing initially....

November hasn’t seen much change from the last couple of months, unfortunately, still pretty unsettled weather. We took a group out to Mayor...

Back to the 1 day week again. We got Friday in, the forecast was iffy enough for us to head towards the Penguin shoals rather than any further...

An interesting week. We tried around Motiti midweek and did well, with mainly tarakihi. Friday night/Saturday we overnighted at Mayor, steady...

Another week of West and SW winds, which is normal for this time of year, so we went with the flow and headed out toward the Astrolabe...

A better start to October, with a few days in during the week. Monday we headed out to the 12 mile and Pinns where we still had the wind and...

Another one day week of fishing. It is all part of the game, when you have any activity that relies on nature and weather you have to accept...

Another 1 day fishing week sums up how volatile and variable the weather has been. We did get Saturday in, and had a pretty nice day. Both the...

Well, after 3 weeks of inaction we finally got a day[Sunday] in. Initially an overnighter, but the 35/40 knots Saturday discouraged that, so we got...

Another week of nonfishing. Unsurprising as the weather continues to be unsettled to say the least. And also...

For the first time in a long while, we didn’t get a trip in for the week. Not too surprising given it was pretty well nonstop rain, wind...

We had to cancel last Sunday’s trip due to bad weather but managed to get Monday in with most of the people booked, so...

We seem to have missed a lot of bad weather with our break in Cairns, so a double win. Ben had 1 good day out and that was about it, bad...

Nothing much happening through the week, but the weekend was good. Well the fishing was good, but the weather on Saturday was a lot worse than the...

Another quieter week where we got Wednesday in and had another good day, although there was more current running, which with wind holding us in the...

This has definitely been the best winter to date in years. The blows have been full on when they’ve hit, but in between we’ve had...

A bit nastier weather last week forced us to can our Thursday trip, but it came right in time toget a 24hour trip on Friday /Saturday. A good...

A little déjà vu here, as yet again nice weather through the week, but turning wet and windy for the weekend. However, we managed to...

Another short week, with a good day’s fishing on the Monday and the weather closing in over the weekend for more postponed trips. The snapper...

Just the one overnighter this week. Out to Mayor on Friday evening with a couple of stops on the way for a few snapper, but not very exciting so on...

Queen’s Birthday turned out to be a good day, no thanks to the 4 groups of no shows too ignorant to let us know they weren’t coming....

Another quietish week, we got the Monday in with a group of Aussie fishing fanatics. We had a reasonable day, although Allen pulled up a 20kg kingie...

A quieter week with a bit of rough weather forcing a Saturday postponement. We did get the Sunday in however, and it wasn’t too bad a day. The...

Only a couple of days last week, the weather’s getting more variable now. We went out Tuesday and had another good day with another good mix...

The bookings are slowing as the days get shorter, which is a pity, because the fishing is still going very well. We’ve had the best snapper...

The fishing has been a bit slower in the last week, but still very good. We’re catching as much snapper as tarakihi, which makes a change. And...

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,...

The good fishing is continuing after the wet weather interruptions with the tarakihi going well, as they do at this time of year as the...

Luckily the weather wasn’t quite as dire for Tauranga as predicted. Pretty ugly, but it did pass quickly. There was still a fair NE swell...

Ahhh, April showers. Gentle rain….yeah, right. Friday was ok for an overnighter, though. There was SE predicted, but not too much and...

A few days off this week as we slipped the Manutere for a bottom clean and antifouling. A good time to do it as the weather was fairly ordinary, the...

Another busy week with several day reef trips and a couple of overnighters and all of them pretty good fishing. Mainly tarakihi during the day, with...

We were hoping that the week of NE winds and rain would bring the fish and warmer water down, and that seems to have happened. Both the bottom...

Well, no too much of a surprise that we didn’t get much fishing done last week. The most rain I think I’ve ever seen in March. We did...

More good weather and good reef fishing has been a continuing theme. We had a nice change on Wednesday targeting Hapuku. Conditions looked...

Another excellent week of reef fishing with settled days and plenty of fish around after last week’s downpours. We also had our first...

The wet weather meant not much fishing but certainly got the lawns growing, a lose lose situation from my point of view. Still it was ok for the...

Another productive week of bottom fishing, with good weather and fishing. Still predominately tarakihi, with a few trevally, and the very odd...

It’s getting closer to summer conditions with skippies and marlin seen and hooked around the 1000m mark, still nothing much closer to Mayor...

Another good week of reef fishing, with calmer conditions making things even nicer. We’re still working the deeper water. Checking some...

Last week was a flashback to the winter. One good trip midweek, then a heap of bad weather forecast for the weekend. The Metservice forecasts can be...

The westerlies continue to have the biggest influence on fishing at present. No sign of skipjack and snapper, water’s still a bit too cool for...

The last couple of weeks certainly saw a wide range of fishing and weather conditions. From excellent to extremely hard, windy to flat calm. Quite...

Last week was a bust. We had a good number booked on Monday, but after the gale blowing Sunday and a similar forecast for Monday, I canned...

A good start to the week, with a couple of reef trips around Motiti with good results. We’re still not finding much in the shallower water, but...

The strong winds prevailed again last week, but we had a busy weekend, which was a pleasant change We started with a day trip on Friday where we...

Another frustrating week of volatile weather and cancelled trips because of it. What makes it doubly aggravating is the fact that the various...

We got a few days in last week, with varying degrees of success, mainly due to bigger currents than we’ve seen for a while. Monday was...

The beginning of the week started well, even with some particularly big tides, with continued good fishing in the deeper water. Some average weather...

We got a Monday trip away, which started well, with some nice tarakihi caught at the 10 mile , on our way to the Pinns. Unfortunately the forecast...

We got Thursday in, working around the Brewis area initially, with a decent haul of tarakihi before it quietened down, then out towards the Astrolabe...

Still plenty of unsettled weather around, but we did get a couple of days in . Tried a couple of spots in close for nothing to speak of, so we ended...

After a few weeks away, it was nice to experience some lovely downpours and wind on our return, and get the magical 1 day a week fishing trip...

We were lucky to get a break in the weather to get in a stag do on the Saturday. We started the day with tough conditions with some North Easterly...

After last week’s beautiful conditions, we were looking forward to fishing throughout the week. Unfortunately the weather forecast for Saturday...

We got a couple of good days out this week. Thankfully the nice spell of weather held until the weekend, and we got both days in. The forecast was...

Another abbreviated week, with just the one day on Tuesday and it was a stinker too. We had a late start, but the forecast was light variable, going...

2 weeks in a row where we’ve got 3 days in. It makes a pleasant change from the last couple of months. The fishing’s continued to be...

Well, woohoo, we had some good weather last week and actually got 3 days fishing in. The first time for about 2 months. The fishing continued to be...

Back to another week of weather and wind killing the possibility of any fishing. We’ve had a fair few tough winters over the years, but this...

Well, we finally got another midweek trip in. It was a bit much to hope for the weekend as well, and, as per usual, it was too snotty to go. So,...

Yet another week of cancellations. Starting to get more than a little frustrating. We ‘ve had another variation of unfishable weather this...

Another 1 day fishing week. The blow all weekend trick is getting to be a bit of a drag. However, on our day out on Wednesday, we had another good...

Another week of good weather right up until the weekend, when things degenerated and another 3 trips had to be canned. It’s all...

It’s always good to see the new month start off with good weather, and so far July’s been mint We got an overnighter away with the...

Another week of nothing happening on the fishing front. It gets a bit disappointing to be cancelling and postponing trips on a regular basis, but it...

Back in business after a combined weather and maintenance break. And some great weather to kick off with. We headed out to the Astrolabe and...

Another iffy weekend weatherwise, and another forced cancellation, but a better option than slopping around and regretting going out. But...

Well, June started nicer than May finished, with lovely weather over Queens Birthday weekend. Unfortunately we had our out of water hull survey...

Another wet and wild week meant no fishing again, but considering what a great summer and autumn we’ve had, It seems fair enough to get a...

The great summer and autumn weather is finally well and truly over, with nonstop NW to SW winds over the last week meaning fishing wasn’t on...

A quieter week, this one. The weather’s been generally good, but the shorter days seem to put all but the keen /obsessive fishers into...

Monday started with a half day charter with the NZ sevens. A bit of a worry after a tough Sunday. Luckily we ran over a bit of sign on the way out...

After a reasonable day on Sunday, we expected Monday to be more of the same, but the forecast was a bit out [!!] and the 30+kn of Southerly changed...

Good weather and fluctuating fishing meant we covered a few different spots last week. We tried the Pinns on Wednesday and did well on the tarakihi...

We got a couple of midweek trips in, with both continuing the trend of the previous week, the snapper moving into deeper water , 35/50m and...

The weather’s getting a bit cooler, but the fishing’s still going well. We had to have a look around the Astrolabe seeing it’s...

Another 1 day week thanks to a sloppy N.E. on Saturday, but it settled nicely through Sunday and our public day Hapuku trip went well. We...

We had a bit of a short week due to the weather and swell running, but our public day Sunday was good. We started in close and were getting some...

The week started well with an overnighter to Mayor. Once again the evening fishing was not great. Heaps of flying fish and koheru around, so we had...

It actually started to cool down after the S.E. on Thursday, so I guess autumn is on the way. The fishing has been still generally excellent, with...

Our excellent summer continues, with the game fishing in particular, being exceptional. There’d have to be more marlin, black, blue and...

Another good, interesting week, which started with a couple of bottom fishing trips outside Motiti. We stopped at a mark inside the Okaparus, but...

Cyclone Winston slowed things a bit , but we got an overnighter in Friday/Sat. , still a bit sloppy initially, but we picked up a few porae in the...

Another week of mainly good fishing. We’re still working the area outside Motiti for the bottom fishing as it’s been the...

A no go week just gone, with enough Easterly blowing to force a few cancellations. The season so far has seen quite a variety of conditions...

A bit quieter midweek with most people back to work. We headed out to the Pinns as the deeper water is still the most productive, but...

Another good week, starting with our 1st Hapuku trip in a while. We ended up fairly deep before we found some ok sign and got some bluenose and a...

We’ve been working in the deeper water after trying the closer areas with limited success. Normally it’s where the fish are at this...

Our last trip of ’15 was a good ending to the year. After some hard fishing in shallower water, we went deeper and although conditions...

The final report before Christmas and nothing dramatic has happened in the last week. Mainly fishable weather, with the catches still ok in the...

Lots of westerly winds lately, but all fishable, and good catches, mainly in the deeper water. A mid week overnighter saw some strange...

After the encouraging signs from last weekend, we thought Town Pt would be well worth a look, It was not. We barely caught a couple of tiny...

Another few days of reef fishing trips, with the usual mix of results. We’ve stuck with the offshore fishing, as in closer hasn’t...

We got some bad weather last week after a good November up till then. A couple of trips early in the week were both quite hard fishing, with short...

We’ve had another busy week as the good run of weather continues. The fishing continues to be quite variable, but overall, not too bad, with...

November continues it’s good weather and the fishing’s been…..fishing. What’s interesting is that we’ve been to...

We started the week with a couple of trips to Town Pt, then outside and around Motiti, neither of which was particularly noteworthy, some tarakihi...

After Metservice forecasts that changed quite radically from one day to the next in the days leading up to Labour Day, the 30knot Notherlies, 25knot...

It looks as though the El Nino effect is happening over the Tasman as there was quite a strong SWesterly blowing most of the time we were watching...

There’s been a fair bit of wind around lately, not unusual for October, but temperatures are rising and daylight saving helps too. However,...

The weather has certainly settled in the last week or so and we got a few trips in last week. We did the Middle ground and around Motiti on Thursday...

After finally getting back into the water, we had high hopes for some good fishing after hearing from several sources that things had picked up,...

Well, after what seems like an eternity, we finally went back in the water at the weekend. The timing seems good, as we’ve seen a real...

I see it’s time for the annual agonising over the Rena. Given that it’s 4 years on and the chances of forcing the owners of moving it are...

Well, more rain meant another revised schedule of getting the boat back in the water. The forecast is still fairly dubious for the weekend so...

The maintenance continues but we’re getting closer to being back in the water. Cleaning and repainting the engine room and replacing...

Well, the boat’s still out of the water, and at the rate I’m going it will be for another week or so. One thing though, it certainly...

No fishing for the last week or so, we’ve pulled the boat out for some paint and maintenance, and from what we’ve heard about the fishing...

It was a good end to the month, with three days in a row of nice weather and good fishing to boot. We took out a group from Vanuatu on...

Another one day week for us, with Saturday being the one. We stayed in a bit closer than we have been, and worked in the 50/60m depths. We decided...

The week started well, with us getting Monday in with a continuation of the good weekend weather We worked a few areas in 60 odd metres, some of...

Well, after a lot of bad weather, mainly on the weekends, of course, we finally got a Saturday in. It was a beautiful day, flat calm, no current and...

Well, the fishing side of things is still pretty much a non event but I was talking to my mate Russ, who went out to dive on what’s left of the...

Last week was a bit of a nonevent, with enough wind to put off most fishers, including me. The Met Service has been predicting El Nino...

Back to the one day week last week. We had an overnighter Tuesday/ Wednesday but our evening fish was fairly unimpressive, about 6 snapper was...

The week started well, with a trip out to the Pinns again. Still pretty consistent fishing out there, generally. Tuesday’s group preferred to...

Nothing much happened midweek, not particularly good conditions, but the weekend looked good, so we headed out towards Mayor on Saturday...

We got a few days in a row in last week, the forecasts were pretty accurate which was nice, and the weather was too. We’re still working the...

This is starting to feel like Groundhog Day, another week of mainly good weather, then a weekend of bad again. The fishing remains good too, but the...

Another week of wildly variable weather, with strong winds one day, calm and mild the next. We called off a Thursday trip due to the bad forecast,...

A quieter week for us. Thursday’s trip was a no win situation, the Met service was saying 25+knots , which looked as though it might be late...

We tried a few variations on the normal routine last week, which yielded some interesting results. Went to the Pinns midweek and had a good day with...

The fishing in the deeper water is still going well, but it’s been quite slow in the midrange areas, between 20 to 50m. Midweek outside Motiti...

The weather was more autumny early in the week, with the coolest southerlies for a while. They weren’t too bad though and we still got a couple...

More generally good weather last week, with the fishing still steady. A midweek trip to the Pinnacles saw mainly tarakihi coming up, but ...

April has started well, continuing the good summer that we’ve had. A couple of good bottom fishing trips midweek, with the tarakihi continuing...

We’ve been bopping around trying to find where the tarakihi have gone since the cyclone slid past a couple of weeks ago. The snapper...

It took a few days for the swell to settle after the cyclone had slid down the east coast, but we got out on Friday and found that the snapper...

We got the Monday in last week, a bit of a slow day at the Pinns, the size of the tarakihi wasn’t as good either, generally a good sign...

We worked a few different areas last week, with reasonable outcomes on the various trips. Went to the Pinns on Tuesday and had a good easy day,...

We had a big N.E. swell pounding in for most of last week, and it hardened up the fishing a bit. It was between 2 and 4 metres and while we...

Well, the snapper have shown up in the shallower water inside Motiti and around the Okaparus. We’ve had some good catches of mainly 33/38 cm...

The East and S.E. winds made conditions tough for most of the week. We got Thursday in, tried outside Motiti where we’d been doing ok, but the...

We had a quieter week, partly due to a couple of poisoned fingers. That might teach me to put some antiseptic on when these things happen. We got...

Another great week with similar results to the preceding week. The game fishing continues the run of marlin being caught and tagged, while the...

Another great week of weather, with the game fishing off to a good start, quite a few marlin, blue and striped, spearfish, and yellowfin and albacore...

We couldn’t have asked for a better start to the new year as far as the weather goes, it’s been great. The predominating East and...

Another week of ups and downs with the fishing We went outside Motiti where we’ve done quite well in the past but had a slow day,...

A quiet week for us, and everyone else except harbour fishers, as the Westerly winds were pretty unrelenting all week, meaning all trips postponed...

November has been a quantum improvement on the last couple of months weatherwise, barely a day that hasn’t been fishable. The fishing’s...

We had a couple of short days early in the week, which reinforced the fact that the fish have not shown up in the shallower water. We covered a lot...

A busy week, but with boat work rather than fishing. Antifouling and periodic mechanical maintenance being part of the fun of owning a...

The weather is now on the improve, which is good to see, but the fishing over the last few days has slowed up a bit. We’ve been trying a...

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...

Another nonevent type week, with a couple more trips cancelled due to the incessant winds. I suppose it is the time of year partly, that equinoxal...

Well, the fish seem to have finally moved in closer. We went to Town Pt, and did ok there, checked a few spots in the Middle Ground on the way down...

Well, spring has sprung, and it’s certainly bouncing off the wall or ionosphere or whatever. It seems like something’s wrong if it...

Still fairly static as far as the bottom fishing goes, with no evidence of anything much in the shallow water yet, apart from some very small snapper...

Our Tuesday trip was another good one, with a mix of snapper, tarakihi and a few red snapper once again keeping everyone occupied. An Easterly...

Still a bit quiet on the bookings, but the weather’s warmer and the days longer, so we should be getting more calls soon. We went out on...

Good to see the days are lengthening and warming up after a few bleak weeks. We went out on Saturday and found the wind[SW] was a bit stronger than...

Just the one day last week, with Saturday’s northerly a bit too strong for us to get out. The Thursday was a good one though, with a good mix...

Some good settled, blue skied week was nice, although windy on Tuesday. We started close, got a few off Omanu, then trickled down to Town Pt, where...

A few more sunny days and a good days fishing outside Motiti eased the winter blues a little. The areas we’d been working previously produced...

A fairly short and not particularly sweet report this week. Roll on summer, or spring or anything that doesn’t feature vast quantities of wind...

We headed outside Motiti for our last couple of trips and did well on the tarakihi, with a nice selection of other species, including several legal...

June was quite unpleasant weatherwise, very volatile with lows, highs, storms and fronts pretty well nonstop. There’s got to be at least one...

More average weather saw another quiet week, but we got our postponed overnighter away and had an excellent evening fish, with four kingies in the...

Given the Metservice’s accuracy lately, when I saw the prediction for a settled winter from them, the kiss of death came to mind, and sure...

Last week consisted of 2 overnighters on the weekend with the first starting well with some good evening fishing around Mayor. Some good sized porae,...

Just enough S.Easterlies around last week to cause a few cancellations over the weekend. It can be a frustrating wind because it’s often quite...

A frustrating week, nice weather and conditions but not enough people to go, and the trip we had on Saturday we had to postpone due to it being the...

Another week of great weather, warm water and good fishing. On the “if it’s not broken don’t fix it” premise, we’ve...

The weather’s been great, as has the fishing. Pity that the enquiries are slowing down a bit, as this has been the settled weather we’ve...

We had a couple of midweek trips, both with good numbers on board. Good to see that the excellent spell of weather is keeping day trippers keen. We...

The continuing good weather and warm temperatures meant another busy week, generally working the Okaparus and Motiti areas, with a good selection of...

The Metservice did themselves proud last week. The tail end of the cyclone that hit before Easter was about 10 times worse than the one that got the...

We’ve been targeting more snapper than tarakihi lately, weather and conditions have meant that the deeper reefs have not been as...

Another interesting week, starting off with more settled weather and a couple of trips out to the Pinns, where the fishing was still pretty good,...

The fishing was back good again, and the weather has been exceptional. A Tuesday trip to the Pinns was slow starting but finished well and a couple...

Well. one thing the storm of the century did , the one the weekend before last when it blew and rained some, [almost unheard of in NZ] was slow...

The week was dominated by the news that a cyclone was heading down from the tropics. Huge drama, people buying out supermarkets in preparation for...

March has been excellent so far, good fishing in more areas, and great weather. We had some good days in the deeper water, although a lot of current...

A busy week for us, and a pretty good one in terms of conditions and fish caught. The erratic and contradictory currents and sea conditions we were...

February’s been more unsettled and overcast than normal, but the year to date has been disappointing after a great looking start late...

A couple of tougher days again early in the week, with the snapper we’d been picking up moving on. So it was back to scratching around again...

Still some pretty unsettled weather happening, but we’re getting a reasonable amount of days in. The tarakihi are continuing to play hard to...

February seems to have started positively, even though we cancelled Saturday because of a strong wind warning. Sunday continued the trend we’d...

Bad weather early in the week meant nothing on the fishing front, but Thursday looked ok, 15 kn. SW. Unfortunately the Metservice got it a bit...

We started last week with a bluenose trip, but the 15knot SW forecast ended up about 30+. We had a good start, but as the wind picked up the fishing...

We’ve had another week of average fishing, with pretty well all areas being similar, with short bite times meaning if you...

Things are picking up with the better weather and work groups end of year bonus trips. We've been going outside Motiti but after 2 slower...

We had the Tauranga Boys High pupils and teachers last week, and their 3 days summed up the fishing at present. First day was ok, second good,...

A bit frustrating last week, as I canned Tuesday's trip as the Met forecast sounded marginal, even though the map looked ok to me. Transferred it...

There's been a constant N.E. swell rolling in for the last week or so, which is normally a good thing, bringing in the warmer water and with it...

We're getting more settled weather lately, and suddenly it's nearly Christmas again and time to do some relaxing at sea. The fishing in...

After the on and off fishing around Motiti and Town Pt, somewhere different seemed like a good idea, so on Monday we headed out to the Pinnacles,...

We went outside Motiti on Wednesday, Town Pt had been ok but fairly ordinary, so we tried the deeper water again. Not a bad day, mainly tarakihi and...

We actually got all of Labour weekend in this year. A bonus weatherwise, although the Friday was snottier than expected. We started inside Motiti and...

Another couple of days out last week, and it was down to town Pt again, on the basis of "if it isn't broken, don't fix it". The...

Yet again the windy weather was quite disruptive to our fishing schedule. However we got a midweek trip in, and had a productive day at Town Pt,...

October has started more positively than September ended, with some settled conditions over the last week. Wednesday we took a public trip to Town...

Well, September might have started off a bit better than August, but it ended up depressingly similar. Same old story, all the reasonable weather was...

Last week was another fairly quiet one and we ended up doing Sunday only as The weather was still not good on Saturday. We mainly worked the...
