2011 Manukau One Base Sport and Gamefish tournament results and report....

The 2011 Manukau One Base Sport and Game fishing tournament was competed over the weekend of 26th - 27th February. As I was out of the country during the competition, this report unfortunately will be short...

As I understand it, the weather for the game fishing followers was most inclement, with the Manukau bar being very non co-operative (closed due to the diabolical conditions!)

However, as the club introduced this year the change of rules that bought in sport fishing to the annual One Base, all was not lost, and many of the entrants fished the inner harbour for the sport fishing section. As I understand it, both days were fished... There were 72 entrants, and from all accounts a good time was had by all, both on the water and in the club rooms.

Here are the results...

Peter Stewart on board 'Dawn Striker', 5.46Kg Kingfish...
