This year is a little different from the last two.
Instead of running a postpone date the comp will be on regardless of weather.
To allow for this we have opened the fishing area wide open.
The fishing area is now anywhere off the north island.
In saying this, you must be at the briefing on the friday night to register.
Also you can stay away on the saturday night but your fish will go into sundays prizes.

Hey everyone, Tickets for the comp are selling well. Thanks for the support. This year there will be an official Soft Bait Masters T shirt in with the starter packs. I would like to get the sizes as close to right as I can, so the sooner you get your ticket sorted the better the chance of a good fitting t shirt.

Awesome thanks for the reply. I know you will probably cover it in the briefing but could you confirm final weigh in time for Sunday. Cheers

No worries, Digital camera or memory cards must be to me by 4.00pm both days. Just to be clear, this comp is fish length not weight. We are promoting catch and release. So it is more of a measure in than a weigh in I will hand out the measuring stickers tonight.

Well done to those that got out, as there was a bit of a swell running. We have no teams yet with one of each, so the team side of this comp is still wide open. Good luck to all tomorrow.

Well done Kane on an excellent comp.
We will be back next year.
I still cant believe that for 2 days fishing we could not get a Kahawai. Especially since we got the a 465mm Jonny on the first drop.
