Field Weekend 1

Posted on September 12, 2018 by Andrew GunnSeptember 12, 2018

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

Posted on August 30, 2018 by Andrew GunnAugust 30, 2018

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
