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,

They had a great time and a special thanks to Brett for making the day so enjoyable for them!!! Jordan has not stopped talking about his day out fishing and has been proudly showing the photos of his day to everyone he comes into contact with!! They would love to go out again next year if we return to the BOP if Brett would have them on board again!!
