We got a few days in a row in last week, the forecasts were pretty accurate which was nice, and the weather was too.
We’re still working the deeper water, although there’s been quite good snapper fishing off the beaches apparently.
It’s been good in the 80+m though, a good mix of snapper, tarakihi and trevally with the odd good kingy.
We had a good overnighter Thursday/Friday. The snapper went hard in the evening and the tarakihi were good around Mayor the next day, even though there was quite a lot of current. Not as much as around Motiti though, where it was just about unfishable.
It can be weird though, we’ve had days where it’s an Easterly current at the Pinns, and a few miles in it’s straight West. Certainly keeps you guessing ..

Brett & the Manutere, well i must say that over the last 8 years or more i have been out on day & overnight trips plus the TGA game fishing one base & charter tournaments with Brett, you would be hard pushed to find a better skipper who will do his upmost to put you on the fish !!! & i mean go the extra mile !! literally, always good for a yarn, (fishing, politics, rugby etc etc,) & not forgetting the overnight trips tradditional continental breakfast, beans, eggs, bacon, toast, & a wicked coffee !
The Manutere is a solid fishing platform of which i have spent many enjoyable hours aboard, and hope to spend many more !!!!
Cheers Brett, till next time ! (soon)
