WE'RE BACK BABY!
A pretty good result for the first comp post Covid we reckon. Add in a little drama with floods and roads collapsing causing a rain date, but all came good and we hit the water albeit a month late.
It seems 2023 is the year that participants really started to get the spirit of this event. The fish entries were creative, the skulduggery hilarious and competitiveness next level. It sure makes weigh-in an entertaining experience to watch.
Thank you to everyone who comes along to support our event. Sponsors, participants, observers and volunteers - YOU, are what makes this day so special.
Can't wait to see you and your antics in 2024.

WE BEAT OUR 2020 TOTAL!
I'm thrilled to announce, that with your help, we managed to beat last year’s tally by raising $15,000 for Kiwi Kids at the 2021 Cocksy Classic Charity Fishing Comp!
I am truly humbled that in a year that has been so challenging for many, we were able to achieve such an incredible total.
With the money raised, we will definitely be making a difference for Kiwi Kids this year, and we couldn’t have done it without you!
For all who attended, those who volunteered and sent donations - THANK YOU
To our sponsors & supporters – THANK YOU
I sincerely hope you had as much fun as I did and got to meet some awesome, like-minded people. I know Cocksy would be very proud of what we achieved and would have totally loved the rivalry! 🤣

THANK YOU FROM DANA
The first Cocksy Classic certainly lived up to everything I hoped it would, which was to be a fishing competition WITH a difference, to MAKE a difference. The money raised will definitely be making a difference for kiwi kids we visit across NZ in 2020 with the Kiwi Kids Charity. I’ll keep you posted on some of the kids we get to help along the way.
For all of you that attended – THANK YOU
For the volunteers who helped – THANK YOU
To all of you who sent donations – THANK YOU
To our sponsors & supporters – THANK YOU
I hope you had as much fun as I did and met some great, like-minded people. I hope to see you all back in 2021.
I think Cocksy would be very proud of what we all achieved.
