Bruce Duncan on targeting winter snapper

Bruce Duncan is something of an OBC icon and is well known beyond the club for his passion, expertise, and success on the water.

Also known as Captain Swish, Bruce served as OBC Commodore from 2010 to 2012. A charismatic presenter and generous mentor, his regular fishing talks consistently packed the clubrooms. Alongside writing numerous articles, Bruce co-authored Fishing in the Hauraki Gulf, which has sold more than 16,000 copies.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear Bruce share his knowledge on targeting winter snapper, brought to you in association with Haines HQ. While Bruce is fighting fit, this will be his final club presentation due to ongoing health issues.

His talk will cover:

• Where to fish – habitat is where it's at

• How to read your depth sounder: see what I see

• Understanding wind and tide

• Bait, burley, rigging, and casting techniques

• Catching fresh bait

• Setting a game plan

• Understanding the bite

• Landing your fish, then iki and icing it to get the maximum value from your catch

There will be plenty of time for questions during the session, as well as an opportunity to catch up with Bruce one-on-one afterwards.

Bring along your family or your fishing mates—everyone is welcome.
