Event Results
Every month we have a Longest Snapper $50 Hunting & Fishing Warkworth voucher to award.
Get your ‘weigh’ sheet to us before the end of the following month to be in. The length criteria gives you the option to release larger fish. Sheets must be accompanied by a photograph of the fish on any measuring device that clearly shows on the tip of the mouth to the V in the tail. Using a fishing.net or IGFA measuring board is ideal.
You have until the end of the month following capture and official weighing measuring* to present your weighsheet for this award, which is a $50 Hunting & Fishing voucher.
*Results posted here are provisional until just after the end of the following month, except for the June one (end of season, so you’ve gotta be quick). Be at the Prize-giving to collect.

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...

2019 Ladies Comp REPORT
Ladies Only Fishing Event 2019 37 Ladies fishing compared to 57 last year – a forecast for frequent rain and 25 knots gusting 30 will do that. The weather wasn’t hot, but the fishing WAS! Crews caught and released good sized snapper until they couldn’t do it anymore....
