With the new season almost upon us, Dawnbreakers Fishing Club Nelson kicked off with it’s annual pre-season event – the Club Open Day. A slight date change was needed to ensure the club beat the weather rolling in but there we plenty of new faces to be seen at the Stoke Rugby Club – Greenmeadows venue. As usual, plenty of spot prizes were on offer for members and the ever popular sausage sizzle.
Coastguard Nelson, MPI and Nelson Harbour Master all came along, to explain their roles in safe, enjoyable water activities. We were joined by Nelson Marine Centre and Feelfree Kayaks were also on display. The kids got to test their casting skills, enjoy ice blocks from the Popcycle mobile iceblock stand and expend some energy on the bouncy castle. While adults socialised and listened to guest speakers. We welcomed many new members who signed up on the day.
Dawnbreakers offers a wide range of benefits to local fishers with all levels of experience. More experienced members are very generous with their time and knowledge and club trips away throughout the season are organised by Committee. Club social days are held monthly where guest speakers share their insights, including, our very own Dan Govier (pictured).
We are pleased to announce that Hunting & Fishing (Nelson) is once again supporting the club as our major sponsor. Many local businesses offer Dawnbreakers members a discount upon presentation of their card.
