The week started well, with an excellent, settled day when we picked up our kayakers and trampers from Mayor.
Our midweek trip on Thursday was a good one too. Two or three hours of excellent fishing, and by the time the current had picked up enough to put the fish off, everyone had plenty.
We made a brief stop on the way in, but it was a non event so we got in early enough to miss most of the traffic.
The weekend was looking a bit doubtful, and so it proved, with enough S.Easterly to make it a no go for both days.
The signs are looking better though, with more schools of fish around, we also saw some dolphins, the first for a while, so here’s hoping the Metservices prediction of a long hot summer aren’t just hot air.

Hi Daphne
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks to Brett for the great day yesterday. Boys had a heap of fun, especially once over the touch of motion sickness, and were very thrilled to catch some fish. They are in the fridge for a feast tonight!
Hope to get back before too long and do it all again.
Kind Regards
Jo Davis
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
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
