with only 200gms separating the first 3 fish.

Every angler that competed took home a prize and the
feedback we had at the club was that it was a fantastic
tournament. In fact, some went as far to say it was the best
junior’s tournament in over two decades!
Also, up for grabs were the Don Hills trophy for the angler
with the most IGFA points, this was taken out by Danielle
Taylor. The Crosland Shield for the most meritorious catch
went to Darnell Van der Werf, the McCracken Farm trophy for
the heaviest Snapper went to Wyatt Johnstone with a catch of
7.75kg.
The Kevin McCracken Memorial Trophy for the heaviest
Kingfish went to Bailey Carmichael with a kingie of 23kg.
The Whakatane Sportsfishing Clubs junior team to represent
the club at the Bay of Islands later in the year was also chosen.
Carson Edwards ,Marley Orr, Joel Griffin and Wyatt Johnstone
were all picked to make the trip north with Amy Fleming at
reserve. Unfortunately the trip and the tournament were
eventually cancelled due to the COVID-19 lockdown. Eligible
members will have the chance to represent out club again in

our OneBase was so popular.
This was the first year that Whakatane Hunting & Fishing
came onboard as the naming rights sponsor to complement
their other commitments to our club. This relationship is very

Cannot Wait!! AJ drifted off to sleep happy in the knowledge he had some
of the best and trustworthy team mates on board to look
after him…

Tiagra came rushing into the cabin! Could it be? AJ woke
immediately, stumbled on to the deck. YES! AJ’s reel was
going off! AJ had seen heaps of YouTube videos and done
loads of reading in preparation for this very moment. He
grabbed his rod, took his stance, and started to play the thing.
“It’s a donkey boys!” “stoked”.
AJ played the thing hard, solid fish. Don’t lift the tip too high,
take my time, trust my gear….
Although AJ was a touch weary nothing was going to get
between him and this Yellowfin.
“solid fish boys! Hasn’t put a run on me yet, just solid!
Yeehaa!”
Leader! “I can see flashes of kinda white, must be silver and
the sunshine…”
After a short but epic fight AJ finally gets his catch to the
boat. “she should make weight aye boys? Bloody felt like it!”
AJ walked over to the side of the Shimano to assess his catch.
WHAT! The Shimano crew in unison announced that it was a
BUCKET FISH of the Resene Paints variety.
Moral of the story? Always sleep with one eye open when
your fishing the Whakatane Hunting & Fishing OneBase!
Better luck next year AJ.

The 2020 edition of the Ladies Tournament kicked off on
the 13th of March and concluded on the 15th in fantastic
conditions. As it was with every tournament in the 2019/2020
season we saw a massive increase in anglers fishing this
tournament from the previous year. 177 anglers went toe to
toe to grab their share of the $90,000.00 prize pool.
The Ladies were targeting Marlin, Tuna, Kingfish, Snapper,
Tarakihi and Trevally. With the exception of the Most Tag &
Release Marlin all categories were focused on the heaviest.
As with the OneBase, this tournament will move more towards
measure and release moving forward and a move in this
direction will come into effect in 2021. The 2021 tournament
will return to it’s traditional time slot and kick off over Waitangi HEAVIEST TREVALLY
weekend, the 5th through to the 7th of February 2021.
