The continuing good weather and warm temperatures meant another busy week, generally working the Okaparus and Motiti areas, with a good selection of species coming up. The deeper water is still more productive for us, it seems the fish are either right in, or well out, with not a lot in the middle.
Mayor continues to fish very well, with both big snapper and tarakihi in great condition.
We’re still getting bluenose and gemfish drift fishing, a bit slower than the reef fishing, but ok.
The game fishers are still getting the odd marlin hookup, not too surprising, the water temp. on Sunday was the highest we’ve seen all summer, rising to 22* in the afternoon. Previously it’d been around 20.4 for most of the year.
We’ve also caught many more kingies on lures and bottom fishing than normal, possibly also because of the continuing warm conditions, but long may it continue.

Brett, just a note to thank you and Wade for looking after us and helping with the filleting (well.... doing most of the fish).
Every one passes on thier thanks, and wishes you the best for the season.

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
Just a quick email to thank you for a nice fishing trip today. Very enjoyable. Weather was kind to us and everyone caught fish.
Hopefully will return to the Mount again next year, in which case I will check you out for another trip.
Regards
