Fishing Report
We had a few reports this week from fishers who took advantage of some favourable conditions on the water. Fishing for snapper proved successful for most people. The general consensus was that while there seemed to be plenty of smaller fish around (up to about 40cm), there wasn’t a lot of the larger variety.
One group did do well in deeper water south of Red Merc until conditions brought them close to shelter.Other popular spots were around the Black Rock & Korapuki.
Earlier in the week, a couple of trips out between Stanley & Double Islands also proved fruitful.
Further out the crew on board One More Kiwi had a great experience north of our grid, landing 2 southern bluefin tuna and tagging another 2.
Just a reminder, if you are requiring a weighmaster, please call 021 0256 2849, please call DO NOT text as the phone is on diversion to the duty weighmaster and texts do not transfer through. You need to actually make a phone call to the number and it will divert.

We think the new cabinet looks great and is a fantastic way to showcase the achievements of our members!
The Committee has decided that all trophies will continue to be presented to winners as normal at Prizegiving, along with their certificate. However, following the presentation, the trophies will remain on display in the Club’s new trophy cabinet for everyone to enjoy.
This will help preserve the Club’s history and achievements while allowing members and visitors to appreciate the wonderful trophies and the names of those who have won them.
Junior trophy winners will also receive a miniature trophy they can keep!
