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 roughest day of the week.
A pity, as the fishing has been good, and the conditions generally excellent.
The weather pattern seems to be altering to more settled, in between the odd strong blow.
It's a pattern we haven't seen for some years, some I'm hoping that it persists for a while- a few years would be good, ho ho.
We used to do a lot of winter trips, but the past 10 years or so have seen them fade away due mainly to the unrelenting bad weather. A few more of these calm, frosty days might see a revival of interest.
Dear Daphne and Brett.
I wanted to write to you to acknowledge what a great fishing charter you are running on board the manutere. We have been on numerous trips with you lately, and always returned home with fish,after having a great day out with Brett. We have found Brett to be very knowledgeable,friendly and always keen for a laugh. we have been on many different charters over the years, and the manutere rates very highly.
Ironically, I own my own boat, yet love a day out on the manutere.
Keep up the great work. Look forward to seeing you next time!
Kind regards,
Shane Janssen
Good afternoon Brett,
Thanks for the memorable trip on Tuesday. This was a great experience once again and i have picked up some more tips which i can carry forward, your knowledge is extensive and you don\'t mind passing this on. Not only was the fishing great but i meet new people and have been lucky to share this experience with them. Even Kent the visitor from Australia enjoyed himself and the chilly bins were full of beautiful Terakihi which all the families have enjoyed eating.
I look forward to joining you again very soon on the boat on another trip.
Thanks again till then. Theo

Hi there my name is Phil,
you took a group of my best mates and I out on Saturday 24th of November 2012 for my stag do.
I couldnt thank Brett and the deckhand enough for such a fun and memorable experience. Even though fishing was supposed to be slow then and some of the guys werent keen fishermen everyone pulled in a few and had an awesome time.
Would highly recommend TMC to my friends and family and will be booking for future trips with you.
Big THANKS from Phillip, Kaye and the boys from Pukekohe.
