The condition of today's delivery is out the gate yet again 🔥 Not only do they look big and fat from the outside... I've been told they are fat as on the inside too. What fish wouldn't wanna take that fresh bait 🤤🎣

Where's your hook line and sinker taking you this weekend? 🐟 🌊

🎣 4 MORE SLEEPS!
Snapper Bonanza 2027 Tickets Go On Sale This Saturday!

🗓️ Saturday 6th June, 9am - head to www.snapperbonanza.co.nz to grab your tickets for the 2027 Gallagher Insurance New Zealand 90 Mile Beach Snapper Bonanza.

🎟️ Tickets are $375 each and you can buy up to 4 in one transaction.

Important updates to streamline things this year:

💳 Credit or debit card. Payments go through PayPal, but you don’t need a PayPal account. Just click the red-highlighted tab to pay as a guest. (See image below)
You will receive a PAYPAL confirmation email 1st, then you will receive your confirmation email from us (Snapper Bonanza) in 1-3hrs. We're doing it this way to avoid any "jams".

⏳ If tickets sell out, we’ll activate a WAITING LIST on the website. You’ll be able to add yourself (and your crew) there.

📸 After your ticket is processed (5-10 working days), you’ll receive an email with your ticket file, asking you to upload a photo.
Please ensure it’s a head-and-shoulders shot of just the angler — no sunglasses (hats are fine), no fish, no other people please.

📍 Team Tickets - register your team (up to 4 per team) at Snapper HQ on the registration days. Each team member MUST hold an individual ticket.

👕 Shirts, singlets, fleeces & calendars - available for purchase during Bonanza week.

❤️

That friendly voice on the end of the radio, belonging to Annette Hall, is retiring this week. Marking the end of two decades of service to boaties at sea.

The Club would like to thank Annette for her dedication and service to the community in manning Far North Radio. Her support over countless competitions, and keeping a safe watch on our anglers, has been phenomenal.

In the meantime, please send your sea adventure plans by text message to *500 until the Coastguard get up and running, as they will take over this vital service.

Again, many thanks Annette. We wish you all the best for the next phase of your life and whatever that may entail… maybe a spot of fishing??
