2011 Mercury Bay Open Spearfishing Competition
After several days of poor weather, fourteen teams (28 divers) enjoyed a surprisingly good day tucked in behind Double Island in the Mercury Islands group. With a 10 knot NW and 8 metres visibility, there were plenty of fish to choose from including Koheru, Kahawai, Butterfish, Blue Maomao, Blue Moki, Porae, Trevally, Snapper, Kingfish. Only 3 kingfish were weighed in, the largest at 12kg and for a change no Giant Boarfish.
