The Taipa Tavern Marlin Classic was run over the weekend, only one marlin weighed in at 86.6 kg which unfortunately did not qualify. Weather conditions were not favourable so most prizes went as lucky draws. In spite of this all contestants were rewarded for there efforts and went home with either a major prize or a spot prize courtesy of Reel Rods and Shimano. The team from Taranaki will no doubt be back having won the draw for $1000 worth of 4x4 Tyres thanks to Steve Taylor Tyres.
