Waitarere beach fishing contest

EVERY EASTER APRIL

Fish were auctioned on the last day to the public and this schnapper

went for $100. Caught on a longline by Penny King 7.94kgs

Levin New Zealand youre into fishing then make a date next Easter weekend to the beach at Waitarere just North of levin. Nice flat sandy beach and plenty of action with fishing and the 2010 fishing contest drew nearly 200 competitors. Lots of schapper, red cod, guernard, kahawai, trevally . Every Easter April 10, 11 and 12th at Waitarere Beach.

The auction on the Sunday draws a good crowd but the bidding changed and they auctined more fish eg 5 at one time and everyone got a bargain eg $30-$40 for 5 fish isn't too bad when you see the supermarkets charging up to $30 a kilo for fillets. Well we bought some and wow excellent.

There is 3 categories: boating, surfcasting and long line 25 hooks from the beach only. The sirf casting was won by Ruben Levy 11 yrs old with a 3.94kg schnapper & a 2kg kahawai to win the surf casting. The boat section was won by Les Corcoran with a 3.54kg schnapper.

Over the weekend $3000 will be raised for charities and there is always plenty of fish for auction.
