Last time I heard tosf (at the 2013 jig comp) roly announced to keep ear to ground as they were looking at changing dates. It has been november for two years now but I suspect the dates are being moved to catch the good fishing in other areas? Roly didnt leave to much on tje table however so assumptions have been made... ------------- www.assassinsportsfishing.com www.facebook.com/assassinjigteam |

pretty sure it is Chart 54 but not including Ranfurly banks. So basically Cuvier Island to East Cape, check chart for exact locations. or PM Roly -------------  www.kavemantackle.co.nz

Hope everyone is getting there teams put together, sorting out accommodation if needed and making sure all they have all the right gear including a good digital camera to photograph those big fish on the measuring board... with your angler ID number I will try to get a small display of our latest Topwater and Jigging rods in various build configurations so all can have a bend and play on the Friday briefing night before the comp... if you don't win a Synit rod in the Comp I we will be putting up all the Assassynation Team rods for sale on the Sunday night at hugely reduced prices. These will be decked out in Assassin colours of Midnight Blue and Electric White and a few other colour combo's ....there might even be a lucky Synit rod door prize on the Friday night for all those that attend, so a little bird tells me... ------------- www.synit.co.nz |

Offshore Adventures team is sorted and ready to roll, new boat, new gear, and a few old jiggers ready to go! We will be putting up a couple of prizes for the tournament (casual charter spots). The team have been looking forward to this one for a few years now, bring it on! Winning fish - topwater or Jig?????????? ------------- http://www.facebook.com/TonyOrtonSportFishingOffshoreAdventures www.offshoreadventures.net http://www.legasea.co.nz" rel="nofollow">

 Nice one charters spots are great prizes to win.... I'm hoping a topwater rod will take the winning fish.... we should have some dialled in new lures by the time the Comp rolls around just in case the fish are hard to get to the surface ------------- www.synit.co.nz |
