The Warkworth Gamefish Club Inc. is the Sportfishing Division of the Sandspit Yacht Club. With a steady core of around 300 members, the club is based at the SYC Clubrooms in Sandspit, located on the beautiful east coast, just 9 kilometres from Warkworth.
The club hosts three tournaments throughout the year. The first is the WWGFC One Base, which takes place at Great Barrier Island on Auckland Anniversary Weekend in January. The second tournament is the 10 kg Tournament, held on Queens Birthday Weekend in May/June. Finally, in November, the club holds a growing Ladies Only event.
The Warkworth Gamefish Club provides weighmasters in several locations, including Great Barrier Island, Matakana, Sandspit, Omaha, Leigh, and Warkworth. These volunteers play a crucial role in accurately weighing fish caught during competitions and events.
In the club's latest news and event results, the 2023 10 kg Fishing Event is highlighted. Although the snapper and kahawai caught were generally good, there were some observations about their condition. The club also reports on the successful 2022 Ladies Competition, which had better-than-expected fishing conditions despite challenging weather.
The club's upcoming events include the 2023 Kids Fishing Event, which will take place on Sunday, December 11th. This event is a great opportunity for young anglers to practise their skills and enjoy a fun day of fishing.
The Warkworth Gamefish Club is proud to have the support of various sponsors, whose logos can be found on the club's website. This sponsorship helps to ensure the success of the club's events and the promotion of sportfishing in the Warkworth area.
