Weather forecasts are so hit and miss! Definitely the right call postponing this mornings trip. We decided to delay the start of our afternoon Harbour-Take a Kid Fishing trip to allow for the sea to settle as the winds were forecast to drop away to nothing in the avo. But they didn't! Luckily we had a group of hearty fishos on as she never really settled. Well worth it though as we caught plenty of kahawai and a couple of nice snapper!
Happy birthday Harley, we so hope you enjoyed your trip and hopefully we will see you for your 8th birthday.
See our trip dates calander a few posts below for our upcoming dates. We have a heap of extra Jump Aboard trips set for the September/October school holidays. Xmas bookings are already starting to come in so get in early to get the best chance of getting the date you want.

Well something a bit different today. We had the privilege of taking Billie, Nani and Della from the travel app Roady out on our first official Sunrise Scenic Tour.
It was an early start, 5:30am, to catch the sunrise, but so worth it. We traveled over to Young Nicks, pausing for a moment for Nani to launch the drone. Then around Young Nicks and down to Whareongaonga where we stopped for a quick fish. The kahawai were on! Nice fat kahawai, made for a yummy raw fish.
It is so beautiful down Mapere and Whareongaonga, we really so blessed to live where we do.
Thank you to Trust Tairāwhiti and the team at Roady for including us in your exploration of Tairawhiti. Absolutely enjoyed our morning with you guys and can not wait to see all the footage.
Our Scenic tour is a relatively new offering. We can run them early for the sunrise or in the evening for the sunset. We cover Gisborne development of the port, Cook's landing, Young Nicks and the Gannett sanctuary, the railway, old wharf and the history of Te Kooti and it's connections to the region and Whareongaonga and the old lighthouse. Stopping for a quick fish to cook on board is also an option. Light nibbles and cold drinks are included as a part of the package.

We"re back baby! After nearly 3 weeks off the water, 2 of which I spent bedridden with the flu! It was so good to get out there again! The water clarity was amazing, as was the fishing! Decided to try chicken breast as bait today, after being told so many times it works, and it did! Which was such a relief, our last few trips prior had been like pulling teeth! We put 8 species in the bin. My only gripe about today was the opposing swells which caused us to sit beam all day. We were knocked about silly.
Thank you so much to todays crew, always great company.
