ITM Fishing Competition Opua
12th - 15th March 2026
FISH THE BAY OF ISLANDS – ONE OF NZ's TOP FISHING DESTINATIONS!
We are pleased to be hosting the 9th year of the ITM Trade Fishing Comp and the first at the new Bay of Islands Swordfish Club in Opua - situated at the Bay of Islands Marina.
Matt Watson will be back again this year with the Mongrel Pig Dogs team; Matt always enjoys catching up with the ITM customers and stores and sharing his latest fishing stories.
ITM and suppliers have ensured some fantastic prizes are once again on offer. So check the competition categories and plan your fishing for maximum impact. As always, we are promoting sustainable fishing practices. So, more points and greater prizes are offered for tag and release than weighed fish.
If you need any help, the ITM team will be available. Have a great competition, and I look forward to meeting up with you.
Danielle Moa, Managing Director, Far North ITM
OVER $15,000 IN PRIZES TO BE WON
About Opua ...
Once again, we will be awarding prizes for both sport and game fish caught during the tournament, so there is an opportunity for everyone to get their hands on a share of the $15,000 prize pool. If snapper or kingfish really get your rod jigging, you can bring your trailer boat and fish for them to your heart’s content. If you’ve had your fill of filleting snapper, you can head out into the wild blue yonder in search of the heart-racing, adrenaline-pumping action of the marlin fight—after all!
After each stunning day of fishing, head back into Opua. We’ll have the major prize-giving and dinner on Saturday night.
Win a Slow Pitch Jigging Combo valued at over $1000
