A $2000 Hunting & Fishing voucher sponsored by Mason Contractors will be the top prize in the Salty Dog Inn’s annual fishing competition on Saturday, February 5.

The Snells Beach pub’s social club contest allows land or boat-based fishing from 3am to 4pm on the day, but entry tickets must be paid for and collected from the Salty Dog between 5.30pm and 7pm on Friday, February 4. Tickets cost $30 for club members, $35 for non-members and $15 for under-14s, with all proceeds going to the Kawau Coastguard.

The event is a measure and catch photo competition with categories for snapper, kingfish and kahawai, as well as for female and junior anglers. Fish photos must be emailed to the judges by 4pm.

There will be a prizegiving at the Salty Dog from 6pm, featuring a sausage sizzle, live music and spot prizes.
