Mariner Insurance is proud to announce our new partnership with the Export NZ Fishing Competition, supporting New Zealand’s premier catch-and-release fishing event for the 2024-2025 season. This competition blends a passion for angling with sustainable practices and offers exciting new prizes and opportunities for fishermen across the country.
The Export NZ Fishing Competition encourages anglers to either release their catch or keep it for personal use, as preferred. To enter, participants simply photograph their catch on an official Export NZ Fishing Competition measure and submit it online. This approach supports sustainable fishing while providing anglers with the flexibility to enjoy their catch their way. The competition’s annual leaderboards recognise record-breaking fish lengths across multiple species, celebrating New Zealand’s best anglers.
Entering the competition is simple and free! Here’s what you need to get started:

Eligible fish species include popular New Zealand catches like snapper, kingfish, kahawai, trevally, red gurnard, tarakihi, john dory, and blue cod. All entries are verified based on length, not weight, so participants don’t need a weigh station - just an official measure.
The Export NZ Fishing Competition is a fantastic opportunity for anglers to connect, compete, and win! Whether you’re a veteran fisherman or a weekend enthusiast, join us in celebrating sustainable fishing and the thrill of the catch.
