About the event

Enjoy two months of big game fishing and friendly competition brought to you by Mangawhai Boating &amp; Fishing Club and our generous local sponsors - Ryder Brothers and Bond Plumbing. 

The Game Time - Members-Only Game Fishing Event 2026 runs from 1 February to 31 March 2026, giving you a chance to catch and record your biggest Tuna and Marlin during peak season along the East Coast of New Zealand. 

This is a game fishing competition exclusively for M.B.F.C members. If you're not already a member, you can join before purchasing your event ticket. All boats must fish out of Mangawhai to be eligible for prizes.

Tickets are $100 per boat, and can be purchased below. 

Standard International Game Fishing Rules apply - https://igfa.org/international-angling-rules/

M.B.F.C supports tag and release of big game fish so competition prizes prioritise measure over weight.

There will be a $300 first prize for the longest Tuna recorded in the NZ Sport Fishing App during the competition period. 

The Marlin first prize is $300 plus the total prize pool created by the $100 entry fee. So the more boats that enter, the bigger the prize.

There will be 200 points scored for every Marlin caught, tagged and released during the competition period from each boat entered. The most points on 31 March wins first prize . If Marlin are officially weighed in, you will be awarded 1 point per kilo for your fish.

Plus, there are hundreds of dollars of spot prizes to be won.
