Hi all, just a heads up on the Jigging and Casting comp coming up in NZ on the 17th and 18th November, Nomad have joined up with Top Catch with a lucky Angler [draw] prize of a Nomad [Aust] Coral sea trip, which tops the $20 grand of prizes on offer.
With the dates moved from mid winter to suite weather and fishing I won't miss this one [I don't miss many anyway
] and with recent reports of fish on the bite things are looking good.
The comp is run out of the Tauranga GFC in the heart of the Bay of plenty, which include the White and Mayor Islands as well as many reef structures which are all open except for Astrolabe where they are clearing the remnants of the Rena ship wreck [maybe they should leave it as an artificial reef].
For any keen anglers interested there are heaps of local charter options, Ben from Nomad NZ, GT Popping.com's Mark [Ginga] with Extreme, Col from Fish'n'Dips and a few more can set you on the right path for a great time.
