Prizegiving 2013

Hunia Kingi with his well deserved Land-based trophies. Magnificant 'Heaviest Snapper' Trophy won by Butler Collier. Awesome fish and a trophy to match. A & E was the theme and these kids, along with Sam were just the part. Well done. More of the Land-Based trophies won by a very competitive Barbara Ward who has again proven that the early bird usually gets the biggest fish. Anthony Wright has every reason to be smiling after taking out the Heaviest Marlin prize. What a catch. 11 year old Jack McIntyre stole the show this year with his well earned 5 trophies. Most adults would be very envious of his achievements. Congratulations Jack. You are a winner. Jack McIntyre with his very proud Pop, Fred McIntyre. Mike and Janice Brenstrum presented Jack McIntyre with this special trophy made from the bill of his 143.6kg striped marlin caught off the Hokianga earlier this year.

2015 Waimamaku Wild West Day

These young lads are delighted with their catch of the day. Well done boys. Good fun at the fair. Hokianga Fishing Club promoting fishing to everyone at the Waimamaku Wild West Day. It's a race to catch the first fish between these 2 mates at Waimamaku. These 2 gun slinging cowboys love chocolate fish too. Fast asleep so Mum and Dad will probably end up eating the chocolate fish!

2015 Prizegiving

Club President, Shane Percy, handing out and receiving the trophy for the heaviest Marlin weighed. Paula Kitchen has every reason to smile-her first ever catch was an awesome Striped Marlin off Bluefin. Daniel Boyd weighed in the heaviest Marlin. Congratulations Daniel. Les, our Weighmaster, and Marina, our Vice President, Stewart out to impress as Mad Hatters.... Janice and Michael Brenstrum enjoying the Mad Hatters Party. Jack McIntyre scooped up lots of trophies again. Well done Jack.

2014 Marlin Season Snaps

Mayor John Carter proved himself a good sport at the Waimamaku Wild West Festival, February 2014. He won himself a chocolate fish for his efforts. It's not very big but it is the first official weigh in for Les Stewart and they can only get bigger from here on Les. This 1.8kg Mahi Mahi took the 37kg line when Dave Clarkin was really looking for a marlin which he was fortunate to find the next day. Dave Clarkin boated this 108.7kg Striped Marlin to claim both the First Marlin of the Season and the First Marlin in the Marlin Hunt. Well done Dave... Les Stewart, our newly elected weigh-master, has been kept busy and is certainly very obliging. Service with a smile. Thank you Les. New club members Brian Jones and Brian Mankelow proved that the marlin are out there with this lovely 119kg marlin boated the day after they tagged and released one in the same area. Great team effort guys. I'm sure you will be back up our way again soon. It has taken Doug Nilsson 12 long years but this fish has been worth the wait-just not in $$$ terms says Doug. Young Ben Nilsson was on a double but after 15mins his fell off. Doug says 'just as well'; if Ben had beaten his dad with his first marlin he would never have lived it down. Game Az is having lots of fun here in the Hokianga. They attract plenty of marlin even when they're not keeping a keen sharp eye out. Some people are born lucky. This Marlin was landed on 10kg line during the recent Nationals Contest. Most of the 26 boats crossing the bar each day were in the 8 day Nationals Contest. Our first Broadbill of the season was a lovely 205.8kg. Congratulations Profishionals.....

2014 Ladies Fishing Contest Snaps

Harry Barlow being a true gentleman by helping his female crew members down off Cruciger ( Harry's The Happy Hookers took on lots of water but they had lots of fun and are still laughing...Good one girls. Westerberg's happy crew back on terra firma. At the weigh station - not too challenging given Cyclone Lusi's presence on the day. Les, Harry and Jeff did an excellent job with a great attitude. Thanks guys. Three cheers for Kathy Parlane....Kathy has put in so much effort over the past 4 years and we all applaud her dedication towards fighting breast cancer. You are a hero Kathy. Glenis and Aunty really did look the part and so smart in their First prize in the Bra for a Cause 2014 is Adrianna Saunders. Awesome. These 3 ladies had such an amazing day in their 14' dingy. Medina, Diane and Denyze survived a pretty rough day as the Happy Hookers Team. We all admire your efforts Medina and Crew. Footprint's operator William was our Judge for our Bra for a Cause competition. Thank you William. Northland Health's Deputy Chairperson and local Councillor Sally MacAuley was one of our guest speakers. Thank you Sally. You fished and joined in our celebrations to everyone's delight. Diane collecting her prize from President Shane. Well done Diane. Maude Morunga proved that land based fishing still brings in the prizes. Awesome Maude. Sally MacAuley with event organiser Kathy Parlane discussing Bras for a Cause. Sally very generously donated her Cash Haggle prize money to help support Breast Cancer sufferers in the Hokianga area.

Skipper Jeff Parlane kept his crew on the shore where they used surf casters off the front lawn of the Copthorne. Medina and her Happy Hookers had the time of their lives and are not likely to forget their day in a hurry. We will be seeing them next year for sure. The
