It took a few days for the swell to settle after the cyclone had slid down the east coast, but we got out on Friday and found that the snapper had moved in.
We had good catches around the western side of Motiti, nice sized fish too, with a few trevally, kahawai and tarakihi as well.
An evening fish on the way to Mayor also provided some nice snapper up to 6kg, until sundown, no moon meant nothing much after dark.
The next day around Mayor was also good, steady fishing with snapper and tarakihi despite a lot of current running.
Sunday was beautiful, no current, perfect conditions, but a slower day everywhere on the snapper, and we couldn’t find tarakihi at all.
Normally the deeper water is consistent now but not at the moment . Fickle 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.
Thanks Brett for taking us out yesterday, most had a great day especially Peter who caught the big king fish.

What more can I say but once again simply magic mate, The Northpower Rotorua boy’s head back inland with a bounty of fresh fish and memories worthy of a book.
We have utilised your services on a few occasions and each time has been memorable taking home more than our fair share of fish, but this trip was exceptional.
I have been charter fishing with various parties and skippers but never have I been on an overnighter to Mayor and been home by 1130am with six plus hours of fishing left and chilly bins full of Snapper and Tarakihi, needless to say you had 10 very happy Northpower fisho's.
Cheers to Ben and Wade for their assistance, and for creating a little healthy competition amongst us, and for putting up with Les and his goofy photo poses all good fun mate, what a fantastic trip.
In fishing terms Brett you’re all keepers that more than measure up, look forward to the next trip or ten.
Kindest Regards
The Northpower Rotorua Boys
