The NZSIA will recieve a personally signed copy of Al Brown‘s recipe book ‘Go Fish’, an annual membership to Fishing Coast to Coast Magazine and a ‘Spot X’ publication for his area.

Here’s what Jay Marshall from the NZSIA said when he learned the NZSIA had won the monthly prize draw:
“The NZSIA has become a member of the NZRFC as we believe the NZRFC has done a lot for recreational fishers in the past and will continue to in the future. The average fisher is often not aware of the work done by NZRFC most of which is on a voluntary basis. Funds are what are most needed and the membership fee paid by NZSIA will be well spent by them. I believe one of the objectives of the NZSIA should be to encourage all of our members to join and also promote the NZRFC though our retail shops..”

Bill will recieve a personally signed copy of Al Brown‘s recipe book ‘Go Fish’, an annual membership to Fishing Coast to Coast Magazine and a ‘Spot X’ publication for his area.

Here’s the message recieved from Bill when he learned he had won his prize:

My interest in the NZRFC has been a relatively long one as I have been affiliated to the NZACA through my club membership. Through the committee work for the club, including a four year term as club president, I get copies of correspondence relating to recreational fishing events and issues. The NZRFC features strongly in this and I have been impressed with what the NZRFC stands for and what it is trying to do for the recreational fishers thoughout our beautiful country. By joining the NZRFC as an individual member I hope that my subscription will, in some small way, help the association in what it is working for.

George will recieve a personally signed copy of Al Brown‘s recipe book ‘Go Fish’, an annual membership to Fishing Coast to Coast Magazine and a ‘Spot X’ publication for his area.

Here’s the message recieved from George when he learned he had won his prize:

My reason for joining NZRFC was to make a small financial contribution towards supporting those who are safeguarding the interests of recreational fishers like myself.  Without the advocacy of the NZRFC I think the fishery would be divided between commercial interests and Maori, eventually leading to us having to pay the aforementioned parties for the right to catch a few fish if there are any left!

Gordon will recieve a personally signed copy of Al Brown‘s recipe book ‘Go Fish’, an annual membership to Fishing Coast to Coast Magazine and a ‘Spot X’ publication for his area.

Here’s the message recieved from Gordon when he learned he had won his prize:

“I am a member because I believe in it. Us recreational fishers know who is plundering the fish stocks. Here is a few dreams we have. Make sure kahawai are plentiful. They are the people’s fish. I’d like to see all quota snapper caught by longliners no trawlers. Catch more barracouta and sharks. They are a menace up here. Ban all gill nets. We all have dreams. Maybe some of it might come true one day.”
