The East and S.E. winds made conditions tough for most of the week. We got Thursday in, tried outside Motiti where we’d been doing ok, but the current was too strong to contend with in conjunction with a big N.E. swell. A pity, as we got a few even so.
Inside Motiti we got onto some nice snapper, they lasted just long enough to make the day, thankfully, because it was pretty slow after that.
A stag do on Saturday saw another good hit of snapper, a different spot, but similar result. They bit hard for 30/40 minutes, and that was it.
A bit of luck there, but I’ll take it.
Sunday the current had eased and the tarakihi were more on the bite, also got a few kingies, 1 legal, some really big kahawai along with snapper and red snapper. And conditions got nicer as the day progressed. An excellent day.
Hi,
Just to say thank you Brett and Des for making our fishing trip last Sunday so enjoyable. You were both so helpful.We all had a great day and have been eating fish all week!
Thanks again
Jacquie and Cornelia
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
