Weighmasters Report – FW 8

Field weekend 8 was the second of our early bird weekends with fishing starting at 6pm on Friday night.
Hunting & Fishing were our sponsors for this one with some great prizes up for grabs including the 300 dollar jackpot for a kahawai over 2.8kg. Unfortunately this was not struck with yours truly getting closest with a kahawai of 2.69. Bugger!

For most the fishing was patchy at best, except for those who travelled north to Whakaki. Kane, Peter K, Duncan and the Larkin boys all brought good numbers of shoalie snapper and kahawai to the scales with Kane weighing his limit of snapper. Well done lads!

The standout of the weigh in was without a doubt Peter K’s impressive kingi topping the scales at 13.9kg. Well done Pete!

Once again, thanks to Hunting & Fishing for their ongoing sponsorship. It is much appreciated by all our Pania members.

Field weekend 9 is the weekend of the 23/24 February. Good luck to all those fishing.

Tight lines

Field weekend 7 was kindly sponsored by Ahuriri Liquorland and was a Challenge Weekend whereby any member weighing in 3 or more species receives a bonus 300 points.
20 members fished FW7, with only 8 weighing fish, and of those 8 only Kane managed to gain the 300-point bonus. Kane was once again the standout in what was generally a very hard weekend, weighing 14 fish, including 6 snapper! Other notable catches were Sue Kemsley’s 5.1kg snapper and Mark Ives two 5kg+ Kingfish.
For the first time this season no pin fish were weighed.
Thanks again to Ahuriri Liquorland. Please get along and support our generous sponsors.
Our next field weekend is on February 8,9 & 10th.

WEIGHMASTERS REPORT – FIELD WEEKEND FIVE AND SIX

Posted on by December 20, 2018

Field weekend 5 and 6 have come and gone with mixed results in both with some members struggling and others doing quite well.
Field weekend 5 was generously sponsored by Hamill’s Napier and field weekend 6 sponsored by Rockgas. Thanks to both for their ongoing support of our club.
There were 3 standouts in field weekend 5. Kane’s impressive bag of 19 fish was outstanding, including his limit of snapper. He also caught a pin trevally of 1.76kg. Tareq nailed a personal best pin snapper of 5.75kg. Well done mate! Last but not least Jimmy B weighed a very impressive pin snapper of 12.34kg. An awesome fish!
Field weekend 6, which was our annual hams weekend, saw an annoying southerly hit Hawkes bay on Friday evening which definitely had an effect on results with fish numbers down on previous weekends. Twenty one members fished with only 31 fish being weighed. Oddly for this time of year no snapper crossed the scales, perhaps a result of the southerly coming through on Friday. Standout for field weekend 6 was once again Jimmy B with a solid pin kingfish of 9.84kg. Other pins went to Roy with a kahawai of 2.59 and Kane with a SSH of 6.22kg. Nice work lads.
Our next field weekend is in the New Year on January 12/13.
