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.

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.
Thanks Brett for taking us out yesterday, most had a great day especially Peter who caught the big king fish.

They had a great time and a special thanks to Brett for making the day so enjoyable for them!!! Jordan has not stopped talking about his day out fishing and has been proudly showing the photos of his day to everyone he comes into contact with!! They would love to go out again next year if we return to the BOP if Brett would have them on board again!!
Regards,
Lynne.
