DB Export NZ Fishing Comp update

Three new leaders The DB Export NZ Fishing Competition is in full swing this season and this month sees three new species leaders.

Doug Clifton was unseated in the tarakihi section by Joel Spears ‘s 55.0cm entry, but has taken over the kahawai honours from Sue Hawkins with a 61.0cm fish.

Steph Fairweather’s 50.5cm gurnard was blitzed by Phil Shee’s 54.0cm grunter. Every month one lucky angler is rewarded for simply being involved in this competition.

A draw is made from all eligible catches over the period of a month and October’s lucky draw went to Miranda’s Mike Henry who wins a $1,000 Shimano prize including a Shimano Tranx 300A reel matched with a Shimano Energy rod along with other Shimano product.

The DB Export NZ Fishing Competition is an on-line fishing competition based around a measure and photo format. Anglers from anywhere in New Zealand can participate and win some fantastic prizes by photographing their catch on an official measure and entering on-line at Fishingcomp.co.nz.

Leaderboards display catches from around the country for all our popular inshore species. Entering a catch is as simple as taking the photo on your smartphone then loading it at www.fishingcomp.co.nz using the phone’s web-browser, or on any digital device including tablets and laptops. Registration is FREE thanks to DB Export. Measures can be ordered on-line at fishingcomp.co.nz or pick one up at any Burnsco store nationwide.

DB Export, the major sponsors, provide a free registration and all you need is an approved measure to be involved. At the end of the season in March 2019, each species category also has a lucky draw with some fantastic prizes. Another important development is a very useful facility for clubs and other tournament organisers to run their own measure contest or measure section within a tournament under the DB Export NZ Fishing Competition admin framework.
