Hello my name is Doug Stewart
Clearly, we are all passionate about our club and want to ensure the club’s ongoing,
sustainable financial position and future.

10 Tauranga Sport Fishing Club Inc. Yearbook 2019 - 2020manager’s report
The past 12 months have been like nothing we as a club, community or country has ever
experienced. Covid 19 has been a major change catalyst for the Club, needing to adapt,
restructure and remodel how the Club will survive and stay relevant in the uncertain times ahead.
As reported last year the Club was
struggling with an underperforming
restaurant, so it was a welcome relief
when we relinquished this space and were
very fortunate to have found Brendon and
Karolina Donaldson who now lease the
restaurant from the Club. We have been
thrilled with the progress they have made
and the professionalism they bring to this
space. From my side it has had the effect of
streamlining our admin operation and quite
simply it has been refreshing to be working
with such pro-active operators. A recent
example of this was Karolina’s Pink Ribbon

they continue to over deliver. Together we

measure and
release rules
LONGEST KINGFISH & SNAPPER MEASURE AND RELEASE CATEGORIES
The fish must swim away and be returned in good condition for an entry to be eligible.
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.
4.If in doubt take extra photographs, or even GoPro footage to authenticate.
5.All photographs must be digital and recorded on SD or CF cards or be able to be
emailed from cell phones so that resolution is clear (when zoomed in) Please bring in
USB lead to the camera for any other format. Photos can be emailed to office@tsfc.co.nz

6.All entries must be submitted on a TSFC catch card and presented to the weigh station.
Angler complete with catch card, measure board and photographic proof must be at the
weigh station by final weigh in time.
Any doubt as to the authenticity or accuracy of the measured fish will result
in disqualification.
www.tsfc.co.nz 19tournament convenors report This past season was cut brutally short with the announcement and the restrictions that were introduced with the arrival of Covid 19. We do however, need to be thankful for the fishing we did get in and it was nice to once again see the small to medium yellowfin tuna back which always give the season a positive start. Good angler numbers in all of our events was pleasing as was the wonderful support from sponsors making the prize tables plump and the anglers fish just that bit harder! The 2020 One Base supported heavily again odd, however it was great to see all of the T&R by Stoney Creek this year remains the Club’s spots claimed! flag ship event and while the weather was The FISH N CHICKS was back and better challenging there were some outstanding fish than ever!
