Looking for an exciting activity these school holidays? The NZSFC Youth Nationals 2025 are just around the corner! This nationwide tournament, designed for junior anglers, runs from April 12th to April 27th, 2025, coinciding with the April school holidays.
The tournament is a fantastic opportunity for kids under 18 to experience the thrill of fishing. With a structure similar to that of ‘The Nationals’, the event includes an all-tackle, measure-and-release format, and a points-based scoring system that encourages anglers to fish lighter line classes. Thanks to Daiwa NZ and Just Another Fisherman, there are some epic prizes up for grabs for the winning anglers!
Participation is easy—junior anglers can register at their nearest fishing club, and they don’t need to be a member. The tournament offers a wide variety of fishing sections catering to kids with handlines all the way up to those with access to boats. There’s even a photography section focusing on fun and the marine environment.
One of the best things about fishing is the bonding experience it offers for parents and children.
So, if you’re looking for an exciting and meaningful activity these school holidays, consider participating in the NZSFC Youth Nationals 2024. Get your kids out on the water, enjoy the thrill of fishing, and create unforgettable memories together. See you there!
