Hi all,
The first ever Trans Tasman Kayak Fishing Competition is about to hit our shores in June. These two teams will compete in a mothership competition over 3 days and 2 nights for the Stephen Tapp Kayak Fishing World Cup at either Cuvier Island or the Mercury Group of Island's depending on the weather. To keep up with what's happening you can check out the NZ Blacks Yaks web and facebook pages.
