Right guys,
We have tried to get these off the ground before with very limited success but here is hoping this one works as its a bout time we had a decent get together.
So am proposing a fairly casual comp - details as per below.
Updated details
Date: Sunday 23rd May 2010
Time: 0.01am to whenever you need to leave to make the measure-in
Fishing area: Wherever you like just as long as you can make the measure-in location on time
Measure-in details: 3.30pm Orewa Primary - 86 Maire Rd (Turn off Grand Drive by the Caltex)
Species: Open so bring to the 'measure in' whatever ya like BUT remember only bring back stuff you are planning to eat.
Other rules:
- Landbased fishing only (but can access by boat / yak etc)
- Line caught fish only ie no nets / spears / dynamite
 - Entry is free and therefore no prizes other than bragging rights. Bragging rights goes for longest of each species weighed in.
- Measure-in whatever fish you want but please people no waste - don't weigh it unless its gonna be eaten.
- There will be no rain / bad weather date unless its exteme, ie a safety issue - given you can fish anywhere ie east or west coast, you should be able to find somewhere to tuck out of the weather.
- Feel free to take photos of any notable catch and release efforts
Was initially gonna make this comp traditional walk in only but this will cut down the number of fishos and since there are no prizes up for grabs, am hoping there is not too much debate in this area. So as long as you are fishing off terra firma then its all ok - get there whichever way you like.
Cheers

The school grounds probably wouldn't be a bad idea. It's big enough for a a lead flicking comp while the BBQ cooks, enough parking at the top or bottom if we're allowed and close to the offies for those who want a couple of legal drinks if driving and lots for those who aren't

So the weigh-in's just for bragging rights? If the main aim is to get people together to meet up & eat ya catch, then I'd have thought that not cleaning them at the school would have been preferable & bragging rights should go by length... just my .02c, not sure if I can make it out yet (for this or the Westcoaster)  ------------- I do not lie about fishing, I willingly participate in a campaign of misinformation. |

Wouldnt mind being part of this - esp if someone is going to Ta Pora, Kaipara with a 4wd?
Re the weigh in - why not make it length of each eligible species. That way you can gill and gutt fish without affecting the "weigh" in and enjoy eating the fish afterwards.
For a fun event keep it simple.

Date Posted: 11 May 2010 at 8:24pm

Yep it will be a 'measure in' rather than a 'weigh in' so cleaned fish are all fine.
Species is open so bring to the 'measure in' whatever ya like BUT remember only bring back stuff you are planning to eat. I expect then that we could see the usual fare - ie snapper, KY, kingfish, dory, trevs, gurnard etc but if you like to eat eels, rays or rock cod then feel free to bring one along to 'measure in' ....just dont invite me around for dinner! Longest fish of each species measured in takes bragging rights.
Measure in location is confirmed as Orewa Primary (cheers Bas) but I'll put up the finer details back in the first post over the next day or so. ------------- LedgeNZ LBG |
