I'm hoping to go. This time I intend to land on the right part of the beach, unlike last time. Lets hope for weather like this ☀☀☀ and not too much of this ☁☁☁☂☂☂.

Bring on cloudy skies and a bit of wind. Ill be there. Like Mark I will be trying to find snapper rather than kahawai this year.

The snapper don't know where the car park is!
Sometimes it is better to travel than to arrive.

Is it still invite only for club members? I was planning on going but havnt joined Pania yet this season.

A man and fish wouldn't get into trouble if they kept their mouth shut.

I have tried to send three emails to Gannet and not one of them has gone now I may not be the best on a computer but I can normaly send an message to the adress that I am given.Some of the members of the Foxton Surfcasting Club are very disappointed that we have not received an invitation to attend,as they were looking forward to participating on a beach that they have never fished before.The email adress that I have was copied letter for letter from that clubs newsletter and is as follows capt.gannet@xtra.co.nz is this incorrect can any-one tell me please.

Pop in when you are up snappyboy for a beer or two. I'm an official sponsor of the ninety now lol.Gona be running a big promo out of the pub. Right this is what I want to know from you fishermen out there.What would make a great pub promo, something you would really like to win. In the past we have given away fishing gear and the like but those who go to the ninety comp already have the best of gear, so don't want fishing gear as a prize.Someone suggested a set of 4x4 tyres,that is one suggestion who has some others. Yes and expecting the rude ideas as well

. Give us some ideas guys.

How about petrol vouchers and 2 platinum 4x4 service vouchers? That'd be a kick ass prize.

Re: Snapper 1000

Posted by GaryK on 30/8/2012, 9:16 pm, in reply to "Re: Snapper 1000"

My 2 cents worth......Accomodation and meals for following year. If you want to go further then petrol /deisel vouchers.

Any competitor would like to have food accomodation and fuel covered.

The snapper don't know where the car park is!

Posted by JamesHB on 7/9/2012, 10:52 pm, in reply to "Re: Snapper 1000"

Just had a read back over the posts and I must learn to read posts properly. Yes they were on rods. Phill was joking when he said i loved longlines. I don't own a torpedo but do have a longline on my boat. These were caught between 630pm and 930pm. As for bait, after gutting them all we need to find a Tackle shop that stocks fresh "snapper biscuits" then work out how to put them on a hook!! They were chocka with them!!

Posted by Mark Roberts on 8/9/2012, 12:10 pm, in reply to "Re: Snapper 1000"

I have seen that snapper biscuit scenario myself, and heard others talk about it. It's made me question why people think it's so important to have juicy baits with blood dripping everywhere, and to have no confidence in, for example, octopus as bait because it's not juicy at all. Every surfcaster should munch on a snapper biscuit at some time and think deeply on this

Is that with red or white wine Mark. The snapper do the same down this way also. Maybe they need a bit of roughage, how true do you think it is about them needing squid coming into the sparning season.

Re: Snapper 1000

Posted by JamesHB on 8/9/2012, 2:06 pm, in reply to "Re: Snapper 1000"

With squid I think it is just that squid are at their biggest as the snapper move in to feed up before spawning. Also that squid start to school up for the spawning about the same time.

Faces to names Panser. Damm man thats a huge risk you are taking. Some of them are downright ugly critters

. Mako and Pipi look pretty good to me. Its just that they don't get to go fishing. Sue is pretty kind on the eye, But the ole man with her, well, lets just say he has seen better years.
Oh a clue, his name starts with G and his surname with K. Well thats a bloody big clue. If he actually manages to catch a fish, you will hear him before you see him. And no its not the legend " Gary Kemsley" its "Geoff Knight" from the "Poor Knights Islands. Now he is a true legend. Eh Gary

Ill get a prize list up if I can find Ray B, might be tomorrow now the pressures off.
Top fish over 4kgs, quite a few caught in challenging conditions. Dropping swell at about 1.5m and laced with weed. Remember Wanganui Neil, Jase and others a couple of years back? Similar frustrations.
Some nice reults for those who hit the right spots. A limit for Chad and two prizes, Top team weighed in their 4 fish for 12kgs. Nice work when most of us struggled to get a bite. One hilight for me was being able to help Panser slide one in. Well deserved.
Ill keep the winner secret for now.
An awesome event, we all had a ball.!

Not the dreaded red weed Gary? Got out for a look in the weekend. More a reccie, but managed a 1.7kg John Dory (can't get the pic off my camera). Also managed a follow from a 10-12kg kingi on a spinner, 4 small snapper and an acrobatic eagle ray that really was pissed it was hooked.

Highlight of the day would have to be this...

Re: Snapper 1000

Posted by Neil on 1/10/2012, 8:34 pm, in reply to "Re: Snapper 1000"

You cant drive on most of papamoa beach anyway. Not needed as there are tons of beach access ways all along the beach ( 100m walk )

Re: Snapper 1000

Posted by roybop on 1/10/2012, 8:35 pm, in reply to "Re: Snapper 1000"

Snapper 1000 is Thornton Beach near Whakatane.
If staying at Papamoa try Taylor's Reserve or Karewa Parade, turn right at quad bike ramp at Karewa Parade and walk down to around end of houses. No vehicles on beach at Karewa except council licensed quads with road rego's. $450 on spot fine if caught by Mr Plod

Best fishing is after dark, hope this helps.
