I helped sponsor the main prize for this because I feel that we should encourage this type of traditional activity. It was successful in that a great deal of interest was generated especially with the young guns who have just started the art and skill of canoe fishing.
Jacks day was perfect with the organisers happy and the competitors-all 38 of them even happier.
Well done Jack and your team of workers for a very successful day
Main winner with a 28kg tuna was Muiaki Ricky Makani who just pipped Tuli Heka with his 17 kg effort.
Tolana Siataga, Sifisifi Mokalei also won some money for their efforts
Mona Ainuu organised a fagota shore gatherers event which was popular with the ladies and kids. Asosa Tohovaka I understand showed her skills and took out the main prize for this activity.
Jacks village benefitted from the $20 fees $780 plus I understand they also got value for the main prized fish being auctioned again for the VC coffers
Poi Kapaga helped Jack and Mona helped Moka with the competition.
Next year the prize money will be increased and possibally include 1,2,3 as the main drawcard
Details of main prize winners will be on the government website
