Angela Kenning has accepted the position of Treasurer and will take over from Bruce in this role over the next few weeks. We wish Angela all the best with this role and ask that you provide her with any assistance you can during this transition.
It has been noticed that some members are dumping fish remains and other undesirable rubbish into the water in the marina and launching ramp area. The club does not condone the dumping of rubbish of any sort in this area and would appreciate it if members would either dump their filleting waste out at sea before coming into the marina area or take it home with you and dispose of it some other way. We also do not tolerate the dumping of fish waste in the rubbish bins provided at the ramp area. These bins are for normal paper plastic and tin type rubbish that you accumulate while out on your boat. We would appreciate it if everyone would try to keep the area clean and tidy and not smelly for other members to enjoy. Thanks.
We are currently missing the outer yellow and black channel mark which broke free during the recent heavy winds.
If you find the channel mark, can you please let the club know by contacting the secretary by email at the following address secretary@mpbc.co.nz
An alternative mark will be put in place as soon as possible.
This is a great fish caught by a friend from Mana
Thought it might be of interest as it was caught fairly locally for people in Abel Tasman
Not that often that you get the fish of a life time but this is probably it. One week away at Westport in Southern Cross from Mana and back to Mana.
All most entirely in calm and comparatively warm weather + a 263 KG blue fin ( 580lbs) to make the trip really memorable. Lindsey Haagh was the angler and it is a world record for a Lady angler!
Big Tuna
The new Toilet block is completed and open for ‘business’ so to speak.
Much better facility for the growing number of visitors to the port area.
Some boats on the hardstand and Marina were tampered with on the night of Saturday the 3rd after 5:00pm and Sunday the 4th of August before 11:00am
Food, Alcohol and miscellaneous bits of boat gear were stolen from some vessels.
We suggest you check your boats and if you find any damage or missing gear, please notify Donna Bower from the Motueka Police Station.
The police have had a white handled fishing knife handed in which they suspect may be from one of the boats in the marina.
