Snapper Bonanza

Snapper Bonanza $30,000 Heaviest Snapper
$10,000 Average Weight Snapper Who are we?

The inaugural 90 Mile Beach Snapper Bonanza was created with the support of Local business owners of Kaitaia. The goal was to recreate an exceptional surfcasting event for the many competitors who undertake an annual pilgrimage to the Far North of New Zealand to take part in a surfcasting extravaganza on the mighty 90 Mile Beach. From the many quality prizes to the licensed bar on site, and the 10

00 entrants whom all agreed it was great. Comments like, “the best one yet”, “we will be back” and “don’t change anything, it’s awesome”, were well received. Your organisers John Stewart & Dave Collard
*Please note: The Snapper Bonanza is in no way associated with the Organisers of the Snapper Classic.
