president’s report
Adaptation of the President’s report tabled at the AGM
Before starting my Presidents report and overview of the previous financial year and the
club’s position and future, I would like to reflect a little on the history of our club.
The club has a history dating back to the 1920’S and we were recognised as IGFA members
in 1947. It is fact that our club is one of only 5 original founding clubs in what is now known
as the New Zealand Sports Fishing Council. While the club has run previously under various
names before reaching our current title of Tauranga Sport Fishing Club, the purpose and
values of our club have not changed.

  The club was foundered principally on the                   objectives but those that I have given serve to
objectives of;                                                cover the overall objectives and values.
  • Maintaining and furthering the interests of                 I think there is little doubt that the past and
sport and recreational fishing                                current committee members and staff have
  • Protect and preserve gamefish and their                   done well in advancing and in many cases
food supply                                                   achieving these objectives. We have not lost
  • Organize and conduct tournaments for the                  sight that our club has been, and continues
club and members                                              to be, built around the sport and enjoyment
  • Award certificates and trophies                           of fishing. This is the cornerstone of the club.
  • To develop the welfare of the club for all                We also recognise our social responsibilities
its members                                                   for all our members.
  There are other additional principal                          Given the diversity of my report, I am going

additional challenges that the restaurant has presented.

LENGTH PHOTO REQUIREMENTS;
A. MEASURING REQUIREMENTS
   1.Fish must be measured using a IGFA, NZ Fishing Competition, Decoro or Top Catch
   measure board. Measure boards should be used on a flat surface. No other measures
   accepted unless checked with Tournament Convener.
   2.The fish’s snout must be touching the nose stop with the mouth closed and free of lures or
   lifting devices.
   3.With the fish lying on top of the measuring device, measurements will be taken from the
   most forward part of the fish’s snout with the mouth closed to the rear centre edge of the tail.
   4.All measurements will be made in 0.5 centimetres increments.
   5.Fish that measure between increments shall be recorded at the lower of the two
   increments. For example, a fish that measures between 45 and 45.5 centimetres will
   have a recorded length of 45 centimetres. This is determined by the last line that falls
   inside of the fork in the tail. A fork length “on the line” will mean again the lower of the
   two increments.
B. PHOTOGRAPHIC REQUIREMENTS
   All measured and released fish require photographic evidence clearly showing the fish on
   a TSFC approved measure board. Photographs included with applications must contain
   the following information.
   1.The full length of the fish on the measuring device clearly showing the
   position of the mouth and tail. The fish may be held in position, but must be done
   in a manner that does not obscure the view of the fish on the tape.
   2.A close up showing the position of the fish’s nose and tail on the measuring device.
   3.Every fish must have the angler number included in the picture (placed on the fish)
   Angler numbers are issued at registration and will be your Angler Number.

   weigh station by final weigh in time.
