Another productive week of bottom fishing, with good weather and fishing.
Still predominately tarakihi, with a few trevally, and the very odd snapper, although they’re apparently being caught in the harbour.
We’ve heard of a few skippies being caught out wide, and several marlin were caught in the weekend’s competition but still nothing local yet.
We had an overnighter to Mayor Friday/Saturday, a good keen crew, and after a sloppy trip out some fished through the night, catching a mix of snapper, tarakihiu and porae, nice sized fish too.
After some more bottom fishing next morning, we did some kingfish jigging, good fun, got a few small ones and one so nice that a mako took it, left us the head though, which was good of him. At least we saw how big it had been. Dragged a few lures around and got a couple more, but none sizeable. Good fun though.
Thanks Brett for taking us out yesterday, most had a great day especially Peter who caught the big king fish.

Hi there Brett, just a quick thank you for the lovely fishing trip we had today.
Myself my wife and parents had a fantastic time.
It may have been a bit choppy today but luckily my family didn't supply any extra burley and really enjoyed the trip. We have about 2kgs of Terakihi filets in the fridge which we look forward to enjoying tomorrow.
After trying different charter boats I have found Tauranga Marine Charters by far the best.
We really appreciate you helping and guiding my wife and parents who are first time fishers to get set up and get onto some fish.
Looking forward to doing it again sometime.
Many thanks
Aaron
Thanks for a fabulous day on the water. Just ate some great fish and washed it down with nz Pinot.
