Before the first gamefish is landed in NZ waters.
It's close i just want to hurry it up. But in looking to the past it would seem that this time frame will be close.
So the first fish landed will be around Dec 30, 2014.

Try and keep your powder dry till the season starts. Go polish another lure.
Those that say it can't be done are being overtaken by those doing it.

Go test you lures on the Mako's in December just north of the Chicks. They won't mind if you don't polish them.
