We’ve been working in the deeper water after trying the closer areas with limited success. Normally it’s where the fish are at this time of year, but we’ve been hearing that it’s a late season.
The amount of barracuda we’ve been catching backs this up, normally they’re worst well before Christmas. Still, better them and good tarakihi and trevally, [not much snapper yet], than not much of anything.
The N. & N.E seem to be helping though, we caught some skipjack and albacore tuna last Thursday, first of the season, and dropped quite a few, so hopefully they’re around for a while now.
It was snotty enough that we lost the weekend, but it’s certainly looking better overall.
Thanks for a fabulous day on the water. Just ate some great fish and washed it down with nz Pinot.

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

Hi there my name is Phil,
you took a group of my best mates and I out on Saturday 24th of November 2012 for my stag do.
I couldnt thank Brett and the deckhand enough for such a fun and memorable experience. Even though fishing was supposed to be slow then and some of the guys werent keen fishermen everyone pulled in a few and had an awesome time.
Would highly recommend TMC to my friends and family and will be booking for future trips with you.
Big THANKS from Phillip, Kaye and the boys from Pukekohe.
