What’s on Today? Fishing

A Tauranga man is using people's pleasure for fishing to help raise money for the Wish4Fish Charity.

Wish4Fish is the brainchild of Bryce Dinneen and aims to get people with disabilities, such as spinal injuries, out in the water and fishing.

Bryce runs the charity on donations and sponsorship – and Wish4Fish's third annual fishing competition today – open to everyone – is to raise funds.

Bryce says the main point is anyone can enter. 'We want people living normal lives to contribute to making these guys' lives a little better via fishing.”

The competition is already underway at Tauranga Sport Fishing Club, Sulphur Point Marina.

Entrants have until 4pm before they have to weigh-in their prize winning catch.

Weigh-in is from4pm-6pm and prizegiving at 7.30pm features a live auction with items including a month's free advertising on SunLive and Waterline Online.
