Another 10kg done and dusted.

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

Huge thanks to our generous sponsors Hunting & Fishing New Zealand Warkworth Matakana Marine and Mahurangi Marine LTD . Thanks also to Dan Kitchen and Bar Sandspit Yacht Club and the team for the epic food and cold drinks and to Carol Brown for filling in at the measure in.

● 2022 Ladies Fishing Event – 12th November 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 cold.

94 seniors and 3 juniors entered the 2022 Hunting & Fishing 10kg and again proved
conclusively that there’s plenty of good fish to be had at this time of year.

2022 One Base Report

In the last decade of WwGFC One Bases we’ve had
cyclones, a tsunami, loads of rubbish weather, a bit of
good stuff, and a pandemic. It would be careless to say
we’ve seen it all, because that would just be asking for
trouble next year!

Yesterday 9th Jan 2022, Aaron Steinbecks 13 yr old son Max, fulfilled his dream of catching a marlin. This 117.2kg stripey caught north of the Needles and weighed at SYC.
