Weighing of Fish
All fish must be weighed at the Whangarei Deep Sea Anglers Club to be eligible for prizes.  Scales are behind the bar in the clubrooms, or if required, on the weighstation.  When weighing fish, the angler must present their current membership card and have one witness verifying the correct weight and species.  All records of catches must then be returned to the bar staff to be posted on the board in the clubrooms.

ONE FISH ONE CLUB!! No fish may count for more than one club  ie, a fish cannot be weighed for the Whangarei Deep Sea Anglers Club and then weighed for another Club.
It is your choice as to which Club it is to be counted for.

Eligibility
This contest is only for Recreational fishers who are social or full members of the Whangarei Deep Sea Anglers Club.  Commercial fishers/crayfishers are not eligible.
 
Tackle
All tackle must be in accordance with I.G.F.A. Rules. 
No droppers and no set lines!
PLEASE NOTE:

As per the WDSAC Club Fishing Rules, only full financial members are eligible to register any potential Pin fish / Records / First & Heaviest Fish of the Month.  These fish must be weighed on the official Whangarei Deep Sea Anglers Club scales by a recognised weighmaster, and a catch sheet must be completed.
