FISH WHANGAROA HARBOUR – MARLIN CAPITAL OF NZ!

We are pleased to be hosting the 8th year of the ITM Trade Fishing Comp. Whangaroa is a fantastic place to host the event, and Far North ITM are so happy to be able to host other ITM stores and their customers.

We are pleased to announce that Matt Watson will be back this year with the Mongrel Pig Dogs team; Matt always enjoys catching up with the ITM customers and stores and sharing his latest fishing stories.

2023 was our biggest Calcutta ever at $25k, which was split into four divisions, so make sure you have your cash on hand to place a bid on the night.

There are some fantastic fishing grounds out there with plenty of potential spot X’s and we should expect some “reel” good fishing.  No pressure, but I'm looking forward to seeing some great catches. 

ITM and suppliers have ensured some fantastic prizes are once again on offer. So check the competition categories and plan your fishing for maximum impact. As always, we are promoting sustainable fishing practices. So, more points and greater prizes are offered for tag and release than weighed fish. 

If you need any help, the ITM team will be available. Have a great competition, and I look forward to meeting up with you.

 Danielle Moa, Managing Director, Far North ITM

OVER $15,000 IN PRIZES TO BE WON

Located in the Far North, between Kerikeri to the South and Mangonui in the North, Whangaroa is a safe, all-weather harbour and gateway to the Cavalli Islands. 

Once again, we will be awarding prizes for both sport and game fish caught during the tournament, so there is an opportunity for everyone to get their hands on a share of the $15,000 prize pool. If snapper or kingfish really get your rod jigging, you can bring your trailer boat and fish for them to your heart’s content.  If you’ve had your fill of filleting snapper, you can head out into the wild blue yonder in search of the heart-racing, adrenaline-pumping action of the marlin fight—after all, Whangaroa is the Marlin capital of NZ!

After each stunning day of fishing, head back into the sheltered waters of Whangaroa Harbour. We’ll have the major prize-giving and dinner on Saturday night.

Win a Slow Pitch Jigging Combo valued at over $1000
