The Whakapai Hauora Wahine Toa Women’s Fishing Competition was held on Saturday the 10th of September. There were over 40 women entrants and some great fish caught in 3 categories. The theme of the competition is women’s well-being through fishing.

The hearty spirit of the prize giving reflected the theme and we thank the sponsors for the amazing prize pool. Best Care Whakapai Ora. Thanks also to the skippers, volunteers, fishing committee and Christina Brenton for a lovely job as MC. See you all next year.
