hey, i don't mean to be critical here but, the BRC is the signature event for the year. and a starting time of 10 am on a saturday to a 4 pm wrap up is, well kinda short don't ya think?? i know a lot of people have a lot on their plate at this time of year, but for a signature event it's, just to short a time to have a sig comp. maybe move it to another time slot with a long weekend involved, ???? i feel as though 24 hours is just way short for this comp. but thats just me.

[Travis]

Im planning on fishing the whole 30 hours ha ha bit of a pub crawl between boats during the night and a snooze on the deck but hopefully have a line out the whole time

[Eug]

i'll be doing an overnight stint also, just depends on the wind. any ideas on a sheltered spot to anchor up for the night?

[Feral]

In the past I've overnighted at Kookaburra park.

[Travis]

the river still glasses out most nights even if its still blowing 15s out the front

[superstryda]

Goodluck everyone, can't wait for the reports. I won't be able to enter this year now as I have just started a new job and have to work tomorrow and with xmass coming up I couldn't say no.

[Anhie]

hi what time does this start and where doyou guys meet to drop yours boats off and what time ? i wouldnt mind comming down to have a look

[noname]

i'm guessing with the briefing being held at colmslie, behind the qld hockey fields, most ppl will be putting boays in around there, and if your not allowed to fish before 10 am saturday morning, again my guess is it starts at 10 am saturday morning.

[Dusky]

Good luck to everyone entering!!

Hope you all have a great time!!

Wish i was there!!

Cheers. :woohoo: :woohoo:

Ah I wish you all good luck, and a safe weekend. Unfortunately I won't be there as with work its just turned into too much of a logistical nightmare! Will have to raincheck it for next year,instead I am going to the broadwater in the afternoon (can't make it to register at 10am), to spend the night having a few and maybe head to the seaway in morning to see whats swimming around.

Anyway good luck, I look forward to seeing some great reports posted!

Cheers Andrew

[Terry H]

You can register/ be briefed anytime from 10am - 4pm just as long it is before you start fishing as you need your competitor number and unique item to be included in your photos and also need to briefed on the competition rules etc.
