Tournament information

Welcome to the 5th annual SUZUKI Top Ten Tuna Tournament! 

Thank you to our sponsors, Suzuki and Pacific Coast Marine.

The tournament will be run over 2 months, this will give anglers the opportunity to pick the best weather days and when the tuna are here in our club waters.

There is no briefing for this tournament, catch cards and sponsors grids are available at the clubrooms if you need any of these.

Prize allocation will be based on a percentage (see below) of the total pool of entries.  The more entries we get, the higher the prize pool will be.

$200 per boat entry fee

Prizes will be awarded to the anglers catching the ten heaviest eligible fish regardless of line weight and as per the rules -  ‘Only an angler’s heaviest fish per species will be eligible for angler prizes’

·         1st prize =           25% of the pool

·         2nd prize =          20% of the pool

·         3rd prize =          12% of the pool
