Another week of West and SW winds, which is normal for this time of year, so we went with the flow and headed out toward the Astrolabe initially. Not much sign, and the fishing was steady but quite slow. We decided around Motiti was worth a look, and even though the sign was still a bit scratchy, the fishing was good. Mainly tarakihi, with the odd small kingy.
Sunday was supposed to be similar weatherwise, and it started out ok, but the 15kn forecast was about 20kn shy of predictions, making it pretty well unfishable, so one we can thank the Metservice for. They did up windspeed estimate for the afternoon, but nowcasts aren’t much use. We already knew it was blowing by the time they changed it.
Generally they have been quite accurate, but not with that one.
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
