We’re back with another issue of Fishing & Outdoors.

You may recognise Dwayne Sweeney from our front-page story in this edition, but what you may not know about this rugby player is that he’s passionate about big games not just on-field but off-field as well. We talk to Sweeney to find out more about his hunting and fishing pursuits.

Fishing season 2020 kicked off earlier this month and we have a special first-day report from Fish & Game.

Also making news is Forest & Bird’s annual Bird of the Year competition. Voting will be open for two weeks until 15 November 2020, so don’t forget to cast your vote!

As always, we have new and used boat listings for sale along with book giveaways (four different ones up for grabs this time).
