Looking back at last year's event, it's easy to say it was incredible turnout and event despite a few set backs with the weather. The event delivered on an action packed few days, check out the results and comments from the club:

"What a great turnout!! Shortened to 3 days due to the inclement weather, some 50 boats and 150 anglers took part in the 36 Degrees Tutukaka One Base Tournament in conjunction with Air Vanuatu & Furuno.

Sorry to say that the fish remained elusive, with many more sightings than actual hook ups or drops, but we still managed a contest tally of 1 Yellowtail Kingfish, 4 Yellowfin Tuna, 1 tagged Stripey, 1 tagged Broadbill and 3 landed Marlin!"
