Pirongia Fishing Club

Hi team.
Before Neville’s passing he asked me to look after the trophies & paperwork/records from the fishing club.
Is there any old members on here that would like to recover them from me or should I continue to store them away????

Message me ir Give me a call

Quick edit on my Snapper stray line session the other day.

The Harvester FC 540 hadn’t been in the water for over a month because of the Duck Shooting Season so I was hanging out for some fresh fish.Only a small job ...

We’re looking to go to measuring fish for our trophies and competitions this year - the reasoning being that anyone who catches a big fish and wants to release can take a photo on their measures then release the fish keep on breeding. Here’s a pic of a roll out measure that you can get at sports shops $29.99 - has the edge at the front to put fishes nose against. Easier to get info back to committee. What’s everyone thoughts? Good idea or stick to weighing?
