NZACA – New Zealand Angling and Casting Association

The North Shore Surfcasting Club & Hibiscus Kayak Fishing Club in association with the NZACA are excited to invite you compete at the 2011 New Zealand Angling & Casting Association National Championships to be based at Orewa on the beautiful Hibiscus Coast north of Auckland. 2011 nationals are to be held 20-23rd April 2011.

The Nationals are the highlight of the NZACA’s annual fishing calendar and an awesome event for all keen anglers & casters.
Orewa in Rodney District is the gateway to the amazing Hauraki Gulf and stunning wild West Coast beaches. The 2011 Nationals will have extremely
generous boundaries extending from Bream Tail and North Head of the Kaipara in the North to Orere Point & the Waikato River to the south. Specific boundaries may be set within these limits. These waters are extremely fishy waters and produce fantastic fishing every year for those luckily enough to enjoy them.
These boundaries include many easy walking and productive spots as well as innumerable boat fishing locations that can be accessed from over 20 boat ramps.
The new Kayak section will bring plenty of interest to the Nationals and the upper Hauraki Gulf is recognised as the best kayak fishing location in New Zealand with many 20lb plus Snapper caught here by kayakers in 2009 and already in 2010.
For those chasing Kingfish they are abundant throughout the gulf until May and can be found chasing live baits and jigs all day – if you can them is the question!!!???
Accommodation:
Rodney is a tourist focussed region with many options of accommodation from DoC Camping grounds in Mahurangi, Motels on the Hibiscus Coast to rustic beach bachs at Snells Beach. Finding a place to lay your head will never be a problem.
