Hunting and Fishing Field weekend ten

Posted on March 15, 2021 by adminMarch 15, 2021

With the weather looking less than average the call was made early to extend the weekend into an open field weekend, a number of members ventured up into the bay of plenty, with most bringing home a decent bag of quality fish.

The prizes were split 50/50 between those that traveled and those who fished locally, Best gurnard was a nice .92kg fish caught by Dion, which made the best local fish a 1.45kg Snapper landed by Mark R, Heaviest snapper for the weekend went to Karim it crossed the scales at 3.65 kgs, and the average Kahawai went to George he was the only angler the catch our five-kahawai limit.
Also, on the line this weekend was our Gun City + fishing jackpot fish of a snapper of 2.5kgs or greater, Karim cleaned up with his 3.65kg fish, so our next jackpot fish is a gurnard of .75kgs.

Our next event is the Kahawai Comp held on Sunday the 28 th of March, thanks to the support from all our partner sponsors we will have a total prize pack of over $5000.00 prizes from 1 st – 15 th place an average weight prize valued at
$1000 and heaps of spot prizes, with tickets costing just $20 per rod this is going to be an awesome surfcasting comp.

Points for FW10 to come shortly

Gun City + Fishing Jackpot fish

Posted on March 11, 2021 by adminMarch 11, 2021

The Pania shield field weekend saw George F land a impressive 12.2kg Kingfish which took out the jackpot fish worth $200.00 of Gun City + Fishing vouchers congratulations George.
Thanks to Mark I our next Jackpot fish is a snapper of 2.5kgs or greater, and with the local weather conditions being less than average this weekend, we have decided to change this coming field weekend to an open weekend, the $50.00 Gun City + Fishing voucher may very well be struck this weekend, good luck and tight lines to all members fishing this weekend.

Weigh Master’s Report Field Weekend Eight 13th -15th February 2021

Posted on February 22, 2021 by adminFebruary 23, 2021

Field Weekend Eight, kindly sponsored by Crafty’s, was a ‘challenge weekend’ that started on Friday evening. The challenge was ‘red fish…blue fish’. For every red fished weighed a corresponding blue fish would receive one and a half times the points value. For most, fishing was tough. This showed at the weigh-in with the 19 anglers only weighing 43 fish in total!
There were some standouts though, with Kane weighing an outstanding bag of fish that included the maximum 10 Snapper! and George and Jimmy B both weighing pin Snapper. George’s Snapper tipping the scales at 24 pounds! Nice work boys!
Prizes went to George for his Snapper; Tareq took out the Gurnard prize; Jimmy B scored the average weight Kahawai and Chris won heaviest ‘other’ for his SSH. Once again, the jackpot prize for a Kingfish over 85cm was not struck and jackpots to $200 for FW 9.
Field weekend nine is the Pania Shield kicking off at 5am on the 28th of Feb. Boundaries are between the Wairoa and Nuhaka river mouths, with weigh-in at the Whakaki car park at 10am Sunday. Let’s get a strong team up there to take the shield back!
Thanks again to Crafty’s for your ongoing support.
Tight lines
Hamish.

Weigh Master’s Report Field Weekend Seven 29th & 31st January 2021

Posted on February 2, 2021 by adminFebruary 2, 2021

Field Weekend Seven sponsored by Thirsty Liquor and Black Bull was an ‘Early Bird’ weekend starting on Friday evening. Unfortunately, a strong southerly swept into Hawke’s Bay on Friday morning making the northern beaches unfishable, meaning the 16 members who fished had to slog it out locally in less-than-ideal conditions. This resulted in only 19 fish crossing the scales!
There were however three big standouts! Kane and George both scored solid pin Snapper of 7.17kg and 6.81kg respectively and Duncan weighed a pin Trevally of 2.19kg caught at Westshore! Awesome work lads!
Extremely popular beverage prizes went to Kane for his Snapper; Hamish for the heaviest Gurnard; Duncan’s Trevally took out the best ‘other’ and Ivan caught the average weight Kahawai. Thanks once again to our awesome sponsors!
Field weekend Eight kicks is an ‘Early Bird’ FW kicking off on Friday the 12th of Feb. It is also a Challenge Weekend with the challenge to be announced nearer the time.
In the meantime, keep in mind the Kahawai comp is getting closer, so please make the effort to get out and secure sponsored prizes. Every little bit helps for the club to run a successful comp.
Tight lines,
Hamish.
