The Top 10 Snapper Tournament is over for another year!

Thank you to our 27 anglers that persevered through the weather conditions (this season’s tournament theme) over the long weekend, bringing 23 nice fish through the weighstation over the 2 days!

Congratulations to our top 10 anglers taking home a combined cash and Stunned Mullet voucher prize pool of $1950, and congrats to both our category winners - Tim Hennessey and Rebekah McIndoe taking out the average weight and lady angler sections, and Team Smuggler who backed themselves and took home the sweepstake! 💰

A special mention also goes to Mark Franklin, weighing in a nice 21.30kg Kingfish on 10kg line during the tournament…the heaviest of the species for the club so far this season! 🙌🏽

A massive thank you goes out to our awesome sponsors The Stunned Mullet & OKUMA New Zealand for backing this tournament again this year, as well as our weigh masters and crew behind the scenes! Cheers everyone for a great night down at the clubrooms and joining us in some long weekend fun! 🎣
