Rule 1.  Only fish caught on board boats called "Smudge 2" can be weighed in.

Hopefully will have Surgeons clearance for this comp..
Just been looking at tide times..
Considering if weather ok head out off the Waikato bar rather than Te toro.

 Head out around the 2.5m tide height mark about 11:30am.. get thru the creeks from the landing...full tide is about 2:30 pm... so back in over about 3pm.. weigh in at te toro 4pm

Makes rather tight to get back to Te toro, after getting home drop boat off...
Are we able to send someone straight from the ramp at the landing to Te toro with fish and the entry ID forms for all the crew, and rest of the crew get in a little late?

We have got some nice gurnard a a couple spots out off the Waikato bar in the past..
 
 PS Bite times look around 5am to 8:30 am and 10:30am to 2:30pm

Myself and a couple of other gurnard guys will be doing an in store promo for the Grunter Hunter at Franklin Hunting & Fishing on May 25 starting from 9.00am. First registered forum contributor to identify themselves to me with proof of a same day purchase from that store will get two complimentary tickets.

We will be there all day handing out gurnard tips & tricks and while you're there it's a good chance to stock up on gurnard goodies and to buy your tickets for this event. $3000 1st prize!

Does last place get a handshake? Could be a good contender for that position.
