Hi All

Buller. New Zealand, that's on the West Coast of the " South Island lads. New Zealands best kept secret. Obviously home of the Snapper and many other species. The fishing for snapper has improved dramatically over the years. Since the quota was lowered in Golden Bay and other waters at the top of the South Island. Guess that needs to happen in Hawkes Bay, and then your waters and fishing will follow suit. Anyway lads eat your hearts out.

Ron Prestage, my good mate, might tell us the story of how he kinda picked the wrong place to fish. (For the big Snapper.) But he still did pretty well as the results show. It is 42 Kilometers from Westport, to the Northern Boundary of the Comp. All at my back door. Maybe its time for me to get back into Surfcasting. I bet there were quite a few other snapper caught, but not weighed as when the fisher person arrived at the Weigh Station. (Seddonville Hotel), they would see from the leader board, that theirs was too small. This competition runs from Boxing Day 2015 to the 6th January 2016.

Cheers Hardy aka " Trev"

Time to go fishing again

How great to see surfcasters and kontiki users getting on so well together, right down to actually fishing competitions together.

How great to see rays being weighed in, anglers winning prizes for their effort at catching large fish.

Hardy, that is the best competition result sheet I have read for a very long time. Not only for the number of fish brought to the scales, but more especially for those who fish the surf in different ways to support each other.

Excellent report Hardy. That should be enough to get you out there.

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

Hey Hangler, you will have them fishing gill nets in the comp next year.
