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 to 40m depths with plenty of nice sized ones among them. We got onto the tarakihi in the deeper water so a pleasant productive day.
Wednesday’s forecast was identical, but it was a different ocean outside the entrance, with a very unsettled sloppy sea, and no complaints when we canned the trip.
A current from the West with an easterly swell against it was the problem, and just a bit more wind made all the difference.
The Easterly continued through the rest of the week, effectively killing the weekend, although we fished the harbour on Friday for the Seeka fishing contest.
Not exactly red hot fishing, but we got a few snapper and a reasonable number of kahawai and trevally so not too bad considering.

Brett, just a note to thank you and Wade for looking after us and helping with the filleting (well.... doing most of the fish).

Well, we are all home from a wonderful day out. This is a thank you to all the crew from all of us.
The whanau had a memorable and happy day out on the sea. Everyone caught a fish, so no household went without.
Also, thank you for being so good to our kids - I hope they didn't get in your way too much. But they enjoyed their day and had their own thrills on the boat.
It was a good day - and when our families do this again we’ll definitely be back.
THANK YOU AGAIN!!
Have an awesome and happy year.
Kind Regards,
Dawn A. Whare
Thank you for a great day yesterday. The trip was a surprise getaway for Robs 60th birthday and none of us had done a charter trip before nor can we fish for Terakihi as snapper, trevally and kingfish are target species in the Coromandel.
A most enjoyable day
Regards
Tanya
