Kahawai and Snapper prizes went ($1000.00 each) Gurnard over a kilo was caught, not sure about non scale but some prizes were drawn. Also a flounder and one kingfish. There were 340 fishers. Conditions were perfect if a little flat and clean. Huge schools of pilchards circled the beach all day. The kahawai chased them ashore for some lucky anglers to pick up. Everyone said they had a great day and the Organisers (Wairoa Club) and sponsor (Pure Fishing NZ ltd) were more than pleased with a great day and huge turnout.The snapper don't know where the car park is! Sometimes it is better to travel than to arrive.

Thanks Jock. Hooked two kigies during the comp slidebaiting. Landed one and won a really cool rod so I was very happy. I didnt even know there was a prize for a kingy till after the event. I was trying to catch a big kahawai on my livies.The snapper don't know where the car park is! Sometimes it is better to travel than to arrive.
