Well guys & girls, as mentioned before we are running a kayak fishing competition here in the Naki on the 21st and 22nd of April 2007. 

 

To my knowledge this is the only Kayak fishing competition being run in 2007 and it will give yak fishers a chance to get together and discuss ideas and innovations in a sport that is in the infant stage. This is a competition that we hope to run annually and with this in mind we are running a teams event in conjunction, with trophies that can be contested each year. 

There are many good launching spots that provide some exciting fishing and great scenery and there should be some big snapps mooching around at that time of year.

 

The 2 top prizes in the singles event will be drawn as spot prizes, so as long as you enter and are present at the prize giving you have an equal chance of winning.

 

There will also be heaviest and second heaviest prizes for about seven species of fish, with thousands of dollars in prizes.

 

With this being the first national competition that we've run, there has been a lot of organising and the committee has worked hard, however there are now entry forms and rules scattered about the country and hopefully most of the clubs now have them as well. If you can't get hold of one please email me at - [email protected]

 

Look for this flyer

 

 

 

 

 

Also Dogfish is working on a web site, with links to information etc - http://www.kayakfishingclassic.co.nz/ (it's not fully up and running at present, however it should only be a week away - Thanks for your efforts Dogfish)

 

So grab your entry, ready your rods and come and enjoy some Naki fishing. You might even be able to kick some Naki boys butts

 

Cheers

HI Guys

 

This coming weekend is the Taranaki Kayak Fishing Classic. Only 1 week left to get your entries in. Entries close 8.00 registration night (friday). Swell map shows that we are looking at .25 to .75 swell with 4 Knot winds so the sea should be like glass. The big snapper are in close and the Kings are still hanging around. There are still good amounts of gurnard being caught. On Saturday night after the weigh in there is a roast buffet dinner for $20.00, should be a good night Hope to see you there

 

Cheers
