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 running on Saturday, quite fishable though, and we did well, with good catches and a few limits caught. We even got 4 skippies, the most all season
Monday was nicer still, more settled and continuing good catches of tarakihi, trevally and snapper.
The beginning of the season didn’t look that promising, and it’s been a bit different, everything seems later, continuing a trend of the last few years, but overall it’s been a good one for us in terms of both fishable days and fish caught.
The next couple of months are generally good ones, so it’ll be nice if that trend continues.

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)

Hi, Brett,
Just wanted to say, on behalf of the House of Travel Boys , a big thanks to you and your deckie for such a great time. The boys loved every minute of it, oh, I guess, apart from the few chunderers the first nite. I know we’ll certainly recommend your charters to others who are interested in a great day out. The boys got 2 bags of fish each to take home, which was a bonus.
Thanks again.
Cheers
Paul
