Hey All

This years comp is on the 16-18th March based at the Bongaree Caravan Park.

Also we have been super lucky in receiving a Quintrex Wanderer 320 package as our major lucky door prize from the awesome dudes at Brisbane Yamaha (our premium sponsor obviously).

Lots of other prizes as usual on offer so watch this space

That looks like fun. Did you go to the BFFC when the American guy had all the fiberglass rods?

 I was there with Nathan Wedding. It was a cool day. I have lost all my fly rods and would be keen to get some new ones

[Nog]

Yeah Drop Bear that was  Tim Rajeff from Echo Sports. I was there. I used to be El Presidente of the club until last year. Now I'm just a pleb

ok cool I would have met you there. My brain is a bit fuzzy these days for names sorry. It was a good day and really interesting to cast those big heavy slow taper fiberglass rods. I just contacted Nathan and it seems he is keen so will have to sort something out.

If the comp was about how many Tuna got sharked the list would be endless. One boat had 13 hookups and 3 to the boat.  Hard fishing in sloppy conditions and finicky fish. Only two longies landed but a numerous Mac Tunas.  Great prizes, especially the boat .

 

I got longest fish, yay:)

That is awesome!!!! Congratulations. What did you win? Was the boat a lucky door prize. I forgot it was on...

[Nog]

I got the respect and envy of all...and a gift voucher from Ammo Flies  The boat was a lucky door prize.  Oh and I won a Simms hat,  300m of 50lb Bionic braid and some Hatch 25lb flouro tippet. Great prizes as I said.

Nice one @Nog and congrats on the win - just a shame the sharks stole so many but good fun nonetheless.
