Rules
- Fishing season runs from the 1st of June through to the 31st of May every year.
- You must be a Full Financial Member of the Waitara Offshore Fishing Club to be eligible to enter fish into the points competition and be entitled to win one of the cash prizes.
- All fish must be caught on a rod and reel. (No nets, long lines or dropper lines) They must also comply with Ministry regulations.
- Points are awarded for fish in each species over the entire season.
- Top weights for the program are set from average weights from Club records, which are set at 320 points per species.
- We have a cap on points of 320 points per species, which means one fish can't win the competition. You need to collect all nine species to have a chance.
- If you weigh a heavier fish than previously, the points are adjusted for the new weight.
- To be eligible to weigh fish, boats must depart and return through the Waitara river mouth.
- All fish caught outside of Club Competitions can be weighed in with any of the Clubs weigh masters.
- All fish caught during Club Competitions will also be entered into the Points Competition.
- All fish must be weighed by a club weigh master on land, any fish weighed and measured at sea, must be photographed and measured on a Ministry measuring sticker.
- Both photos must be printed and presented to a Club Weigh Master with proof of date and time.
- We are also running a Points Competition for the Juniors; they fish for the same nine species as the Seniors.
