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.

2017 Matakana Marine & Mercury 10KG Tournament A solid turn out of anglers and some great catches were in contrast to the untidy weather on Friday and Saturday. Easterlies of 30+ knots and torrential rain were largely forgotten by Sunday when the sea dropped off...

That’s what pirates say…. It’s also what some of the ladies said while losing their breakfast over the side in the roughest WGFC Ladies Fishing Event so far. But the serious bounty of prizes, an awesome dinner, and not bad fishing made up for the 30knots of southerly...
