Only one lucky Carters Beach & Boat entrant will catch the big one that takes out the tournament. This is always a hotly contested category with past years seeing impressive fish achieve the glory. 2009 saw, for the first time ever, a beach contestant bring home the largest fish which just goes to show you don’t need any fancy gear or flash boat to hook the champion fish.
As with years past, it’s always worth the effort with a tremendous prize package up for grabs. Thanks to the wonderful folk at Stabi-Craft & Yamaha we again have a boat to give away, but this time it’s even bigger:
PRIZE PACKAGE:
TOTAL PRIZE VALUE $29,931.00

The Stabi-Craft 409 Fisher has a stylish new look to match its inherent comfort and stability. Glecoat fibreglass bonnet and graphics are added to the rugged aluminium alloy hull with positive buoyancy tubes providing life-ring security. The distinctive hull shape and stepped chines make for great handling with all the convenience of helm steering. Team this up with a Yamaha 30hp motor and you’re good to go! But, just to top things off, Electronic Navigation Ltd have provided Lowrance electronics and Club Marine will cover your insurance needs for the first year.
PLUS:
- Shimano Torsa 30 reel & Backbone elite rod, vest & cap
- Windsheer fishing jersey
- Action Mounted Trophy Fish (your fish)
- NZ Fishing News will take you and a mate fishing aboard Whitianga based charter vessel Star Trek, accompanied by NZ Fishing News writer. All bait, berley and meals aboard provided.
