We’ve been bopping around trying to find where the tarakihi have gone since the cyclone slid past a couple of weeks ago.
The snapper have been good in most places we’ve tried, but tarakihi not so much.
We went out to the Pinns on Tuesday , mainly snapper again, then came back to shallower water and did pick up some tarakihi there.
A day trip around Motiti on Saturday was more of the same.
An evening fish on the way to Mayor saw us have a good run on the snapper until after dark, and on Sunday we finally got onto tarakihi, good size and condition, with quite a few getting close to spawning. A 3m odd Mako, enjoyed a few of them too, really good to see, a beautiful animal.
The game fishing continues to be a standout season, with more tagging and landing of mainly striped marlin and mahimahi over the weekend.

Hi, Brett,
Just wanted to say, on behalf of the House of Travel Boys , a big thanks to you and your deckie for such a great time. The boys loved every minute of it, oh, I guess, apart from the few chunderers the first nite. I know we’ll certainly recommend your charters to others who are interested in a great day out. The boys got 2 bags of fish each to take home, which was a bonus.
Thanks again.
Cheers
Paul

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
