The club captain is looking at having two of our twelve field weekends out of the HB district. Either BOP or west coast so save up some fuel money 🙂

John Purser has stepped down as convenor of the annual Kahawai Competition and will be replaced by a sub committee to take up that job.

Well our second to last field weekend once again seen nasty Southerlies hit us mid to late week which made the fishing its usual difficult self.

PeterKWell done to all those who got out for the weekend. 17 of us gave it our all. Especially Sue and Estella who pulled an all nighter on Saturday Night at Awatoto and fought hard.
