Still pretty reasonable fishing overall, although an overnighter to Mayor was a toughie, heaps of current all around the island. The Eastern side produced some tarakihi, and a few small kingies outside Honeymoon Bay, but the lightning show was the highpoint [and the torrential rainstorm].
Around Motiti and Brewis/Astrolabe has been quite consistent, but you have to keep moving, catch the hungry ones and move on.
I hope this La Ninya pattern stays, I’m not a big fan of El Nino and the constant N.W to S.W winds, but as they say, be careful you might get what you wish for.
So, we’ll see.
Hi,

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
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
