Got another midweek trip in, weekend was too snotty to go
1 August 2016

Well, we finally got another midweek trip in. It was a bit much to hope for the weekend as well, and, as per usual, it was too snotty to go.

So, anyway, the fishing was as good as it has been every time we’ve been able to get a day in.

Not too much swell or current and the fish were biting well for most of the time we were out.

Still predominately tarakihi, with a legal kingy and a couple of just unders in the mix as well as a few snapper, red snapper and a couple of trevally.

We’re all hoping that things start to pick up a bit in August, although that’s far from guaranteed.

WHAT OUR FANTASTIC CLIENTS SAY

    Hi Brett,
     
    I enjoyed my fishing during my last trip to Tauranga. The fishes caught was really delicious...Taratiki. I couldn't wait to eat them, so, I cooked a few fillets at the Bay Palm Motel where I stayed. I brought the rest back to Perth and my family just loved them.
     
    Just a note that you should be aware of so that you can advise all future Australians who fish with you and want to bring the fishes home. The fishes MUST be headless, gilled and gutted. Remember, must not have heads. I decleared my fishes and the first questions asked was whether I removed the head (which I did) and since my fishes were also gutted and gilled, I could bring in ALL(including the fillets).
     
    Best wishes for the season and happy fishing.

    Regards,

  • 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
