You do not need to be present at prize giving for the weighed in prizes.
 
This tournament also has junior and small fry sections with great prizes for the top 5 snapper in each of these divisions.
 
You can fish anywhere in NZ waters and merely have to have weighed in by 5pm on the Sunday at the clubrooms in Hamilton (or have your catch cards presented).  Bar will be open and a meal provided.
 
Full details, rules and entry forms at the club website www.waikatosportfishing.co.nz

That's a pain, same weekend as the Kawhia Boating and angling Club Snappa Casha contest, all this will do is split the numbers, pity, some date checking should have taken place, the Kawhia contest has been running for a few years now on the last weekend of November.
$5000 up for over 30 lb and very good cash prizes as well.
 
Cheers

Hi feeder
 
We had to move our tournament to miss a clash with Raglan icebreaker unfortunate but it is a crowded calendar and we work to what suits our major sponsor as well.
 
No reason people can't enter both? If West coast is not fishable can fish Coromandel, East Coast etc.

Yep as Brimel says, just enter both tournaments, Snapper Kasha is the Friday Saturday according to the information on line. The Fish City Tournament is on the Saturday Sunday, there's nothing stopping you bringing your catch cards from the Snapper Kasha back to the WSFC on Sunday avo to claim prizes there. Pretty simple really as long as you enter both tournaments.

Not a bad way to score some great tackle and be in to win some CASH prizes for mystery weight fish as well.

Hi Geoff, not 100% sure about your question, I have found the Kawhia tournament details on facebook.
 
Here is details of club night for tomorrow (Tuesday Night) for our pre tournament night. (Do not have to be a club member to attend.)
 

November Club Night
Tuesday 17th November 2015 @ 7:30pm
at Fish City, 265 Kahikatea Drive, Hamilton.
 

And our ‘Mystery Guest Speaker’ is ….. none other than
Mandy Kupenga of “Get Your Fish On” fame!


 
Yes, that’s right folks.  Fish City and Waikato Sport Fishing Club are proud to be hosting Mandy Kupenga for our Club Night this coming Tuesday evening.  Learn all the tricks from Mandy as she tells us how to catch the winning fish for the Fish City Snapper & Kingi Classic. 
 
But will she tell all?  Mandy is not only joining us on Tuesday night, but she’s teamed up with our very own Roger Bright for the tournament.

And to make the Club Night even more of a ‘must attend’, Haidee and the Fish City team will be offering discounted tackle on the night.  Further discounts are available if you present or buy your tournament entry on the night.

Well done to the Team at WSFC and Fish City for another great well run tournament. It was great to sit back as merely a participant (more like  a spectator) this year and see some great fish take away some even more awesome prizes. Congrats to Gordo George for taking out First and second Snapper and Brimel for taking out Third place Snapper. 

Some pretty decent Kings were taken as well, up to almost 15kgs) , but I can't remember who caught them.

Agree Bob was great tournament, once the results are posted up on the club website I will copy them on here.
 
2 best snapper were taken off Papa Aroha, Coromandel, 3rd off Raglan, so East coast (sort of) beat West CoastOuch

Thanks to the WSFC and sponsers a good time had by all.great turnout aswell.
We couldnt get away from pannies and rats so didnt bother the scorerers you could say.
Brimels crew had a succesful comp alright, well done.. your kids especially plucking some solid snaps out west in the slop was commitment plus.
see you there next year

Thanks WSFC and sponsors particularly Fish City for the recent Snapper and Kingi classic. This was the first time my son and I had entered and we both thoroughly enjoyed it as, I'm sure, the rest of the record turnout did. Good to see the juniors and small fry get their prizes and well done to those that got more than one. We will be back next year! 
Best haul of fish we have had from Kaiaua for a while and very gratifying to surpass the catch of some friends who travelled all the way to Waikawau. "Fish your feet first" is kind of running through my mind here.
