Doubtless Bay Fishing Competition
Once again, the Doubtless Bay Fishing Competition was well run by The Lions Club with sponsors from much of the Far North business community. The top prize of $5000 for the average weight fish went to last year’s winner - she won 2 years running!
Taipa was a busy beach each afternoon as the competition fish was auctioned off for charity and filleted by the willing helpers!
Anniversary weekend each year is a top family fishing competition and well worht considering next year.
P.S. The weekend of February 13-14 is another fishing competition in Doubtless Bay run by the Taipa tavern and well worth including in your fishing calendar. Phone Terry on 406 0757 for more information.
Full Moon over Doubtless Bay
Hope you have had the chance to include a break in this magnificent weather over Doubtless Bay! Attached is a photo we took of the superb view from our deck at the Golden Sand Apartments. The shimmering moonlight on the water is like an “elevator” to the moon. When it comes up over the Hihi Peninsula the moon is huge and yellow and it travels across the sky to set over Karikari Peninsula as an orange ball. Very special experience and worth staying up all night for!
