Rules

  1. Fishing season runs from the 1st of June through to the 31st of May every year.
  2. 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.
  3. All fish must be caught on a rod and reel. (No nets, long lines or dropper lines) They must also comply with Ministry regulations.
  4. Points are awarded for fish in each species over the entire season. 
  5. Top weights for the program are set from average weights from Club records, which are set at 320 points per species.
  6. 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.
  7. If you weigh a heavier fish than previously, the points are adjusted for the new weight.
  8. To be eligible to weigh fish, boats must depart and return through the Waitara river mouth.
  9. All fish caught outside of Club Competitions can be weighed in with any of the Clubs weigh masters.
  10. All fish caught during Club Competitions will also be entered into the Points Competition.
