I went out with Bret recently. We Bottom fished for snapper, getting plenty on our way out in the evening. Woke in the lee of Mayor Island to the smell of coffee and bacon. Bret fed us then we nailed some large terakihi, Porae and a couple of Beaut kingfish. Bret has to be the best skipper in the Bay of Plenty. He works his butt off to put you on the fish and has the best spots out there. He's a great chap too, very approachable and extremely knowledgeable. He is always keen to yarn and enjoys meeting new people.
