Event description
In response to the tragic 2024 season, where too many of our mates lost their lives on the water, the New Zealand Sport Fishing Council and Coastguard have teamed up with some bluefin legends to run pre-season seminars across Aotearoa.
The goal is simple: support our fishing community to prepare for the Southern Bluefin Tuna season by sharing knowledge, improving safety, and helping everyone get home safe.
