Streetwise Coffee field Weekend one kicks off this weekend, normal boundaries apply.
( Mahunga in the north through to Herbetville in the south ) normal start time 5am Saturday with weigh in at the fire station 12pm Sunday.
Weather
Just fantastic north to northwest winds with a swell of between .50 to .80 of a metre all beaches will be fishable.
Best options
I know some will be targeting Awatoto through to Te Awanga reef, all that shell fish washed up over the past week !!! Not sure any of the rivermouths will be producing but you never know. Heading north or south take your pick it all looks great.
Last year our first weekend produced 105 Kahawai with the odd gurnard, barracuda, and smoothhound, and of course the infamous red cod.
Good luck everybody please support Streetwise and grab a coffee if you are passing one of their carts in Napier or Hastings.

Parking for weigh ins and meetings

As most of you are aware the council have installed a gate to block access to the grass for parking and weigh ins.

They have very graciously given us permission to still use that area for parking and the weigh ins.  So going forward it will be open for those times and locked again when we finish. Please use the area accordingly and avoid parking at the firestation itself

Many Thanks

The end of another season and for some a pretty good season. Toward the end it was good to see snapper and gurnard being caught on our local beaches.

At this time l would like to thank all our sponsors as well as our members for your support during the season.Our kahawai contest was very successful with a big thanks to our conveners, Trish and Melissa with help from Chris, Jim and our weigh master Hamish. Also thanks to all our members on the beach especially our two guys on the bikes, Mark and Peter K who did a great job.

To those members who made it to the Pania Shield challenge, well done catching enough fish to bring the shield back to Pania.

Congratulations once again to Kane winning top fisho of the year ,as well as the other winners of their respective sections.

Our meetings over the last 4 months have been very poorly attended, l know that we are into the colder nights but at  times there are important issues to be discussed and decisions to be made.
If you are not there for a vote then you have to go with what ever decisions are made.

l would to thank Chris Morris who is standing down as our news caster. Thanks for all your work to date Chris, and well done.

We have our AGM coming up for he first Wednesday in August, s0 please pencil this in. If you have remits that you would like to submit send it in to our secretary Trish ASAP, or bring it to the July meeting.

Once again l thank our executive, our committee and all our members for your help and support throughout the year.

President
