Otamarakau School Surf Fishing Competition - 18th April 2021

And that’s a wrap! 2021 proved to be a record-breaking year with 820 tickets sold and 496 fish weighed in! Previous years have not topped 200 in fish weighed in so this is just amazing. Not one snapper was caught so the snapper prizes were given out by way of electronic lucky ticket draws!! Congratulations to all our winners, but especially to Anthony O’Sullivan who took out the Heaviest Kahawai $2000 cash prize and Amy Greaves from Taupo who won the “Heaviest Snapper” $4000 cash prize!

Competitors travelled from Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo, Upper Hutt, Tokoroa, Napier, Gisborne, Hamilton, Wanganui, Christchurch, Taranaki, and Whitianga. We love your passion for fishing and support for our small rural school.

Thanks again to our two Food trucks - Tray of Plenty Catering and C4 Street Food & Espresso, the food was so yummy.

And of course, we couldn’t have a fishing competition without our incredible sponsors. Please make sure you support them.
We appreciated your patience while we processed the unprecedented amount of fish for weighing in. It was a cracking day and we hope you all enjoyed it. See you in 2022!!!
