Results for 2021 NZ Sport Fishing Council Nationals

We’ve finally done it!  Won the Varta Cup, the symbol of superiority between gamefishing clubs in NZ!

Thanks to Thomas Maxwell’s striped marlin, Tony Tucker’s broadbill and one of our Tag & Releases we totalled 2161 points, ahead of Whangaroa 2077 and Counties 1984.

Our interclub species rankings were as follows:
Striped marlin           1st
Skipjack                    1st
Mahimahi                  2nd
Broadbill                    4th
Tuna                          4th
Kingfish                      4th
Snapper                     4th
Kahawai                     5th
Trevally                      5th
Albacore                     6th

These were consistently good results bearing in mind that there were 35 clubs who recorded fish during the week.
