Fifteen teams took part over the last 6 weeks in the Mercury Bay Club’s Winter Tuna Fishing Tournament. Some awesome fish came through the weigh station, absolutely blowing last year’s results out of the water!
Congratulations go to all our prize winners, and a huge thank you to everyone who took part in the tournament.
We want to say a huge thank you to all our sponsors who got behind the tournament this year. Our anglers took home a combined cash and prize pool worth over $20,000, with our sponsors going above and beyond what was originally advertised. We really appreciate all your support!
