BBF+ Angler of the Year 2027
A year-long catch log for the Bream Bay Fishing Plus crew. Every fish you log on Fisho between now and 30 November 2027 counts.
Categories: Angler of the Year (overall), Snapper, Kahawai, Kingfish, John Dory, Gurnard, Trevally, and Other Species where you can enter anything else.
No prizes, no sponsors - just bragging rights. Every catch you log also builds your own record: PBs, species tally, and conditions on the day. Locations are kept general, so your spots stay yours.
Monthly shout-outs go up in the BBF+ Facebook group. Free to join - sign up and start logging.
How it's scored
Fish are scored on length, and only your best fish of each species counts. Catching ten snapper won't put you on the snapper board ten times, only your longest one. Your other catches still go into your own record.
The top 10 in each species score points: 10 for 1st, 9 for 2nd, and so on down to 1 for 10th. Those points add up across every species to decide Angler of the Year. Tied fish share the higher place's points. The full points table is on the fisho.nz leaderboard page.
Spread your effort. A good gurnard can be worth as much as a good snapper.
