The start of Hawke s Bay Sports Fishing Club glamour four-day event Megafish Hawke s Bay has been postponed due to a forecast of increasingly rough seas.
The decision was made last night as hundreds of entrants and supporters gathered for a briefing ahead of the start which was to have been at 6am today.
A Your Solutions Megafish facebook post says the situation will be reassessed on Friday night, in the hope of a Saturday start to a competition now likely to be no more than two days.
