2020 10kg Tournament Report

May 31, 2020Event Results, Newsletter

6am Saturday 30th to text measure-in by 4pm Sunday 31st May
(Queens Birthday wkend).

You know the story with the 10kg, anything less than 25knots is a bonus. Saturday it was good to be alive. Sunday was just a matter of staying alive.
Not even a global pandemic thrown in for good measure could prevent the 10kg from rolling. THANK YOU to the 59 anglers that joined us for this long-running event. Seems a bit strange not having our traditional prizegiving, meal, and catch up— but the rules around gatherings changed the day before the comp! The quality of fish was up this year. Keeping the average sized fish for food and releasing the biggies means this quality could be easier to maintain.

Another 10kg done and dusted.

Almost a sell out and some absolute stonker fish put over the measure mats.

2023 10kg Event

2023 10kg Fishing Event Although the average and top 10 snapper look pretty good, it was a common observation that their condition was patchy. Yup, a few of the ‘mushy fillet’ sort, but a large proportion of snapper and kahawai had a ‘hollow’ in theirbelly profile,...

10KG 2022

There was almost exactly the same excellent turn out for the 10kg tournament 2022 as last year, and again the face of an untidy forecast. But Saturday arvo was a good reminder of why we do this — the wind dropped, fish were biting, the sun was hot, and drinks were...
