Last week was a flashback to the winter. One good trip midweek, then a heap of bad weather forecast for the weekend.
The Metservice forecasts can be well out, but they got it right this time unfortunately.
We were taking a group out to Mayor camping, but Sunday’s big winds and swell put paid to that.
All the signs are that once the West and SW winds ease things will pick up as you’d expect at this time of year. Lots of dolphins, jellyfish, sunfish are being seen, but keep getting pushed offshore, same with the gamefish and tuna.
Snapper too, would normally be in close by now. So hopefully February will see the changeover.
Thanks for a fabulous day on the water. Just ate some great fish and washed it down with nz Pinot.

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
