The annual State of Origin fishing competition run by Brisbane Fishing Online is taking place on Friday 30th July - Sunday 1st August 2010.

Event Headquarters (HQ) for the State of Origin Fishing Competition will be at the Ferry Reserve Holiday Park, Brunswick Heads, NSW. For a map of the location to make finding Ferry Reserve easy, please click this website link: http://www.ferryreserve.com.au. The Event Headquarters is where you need to report for your pre-fishing briefing and also for weighing-in (submitting photo entries) and prize presentation.The 2010 State of Origin fishing competition will commence at 08:00am Friday 30th of July 2010 and conclude at 12:00pm on the 1st of August. The prize presentation will commence at 12:15pm on the 1st of August.

Entries made after this date but before the 30th June 2010 are $70 per competitor. Entries after this date but before the 30th July are $80 You can register on the day, however this can only be done at the Event HQ and only cash payments will be accepted. The fee for registering on the day at the event is $90 per competitor and the entry fee must be paid and report for briefing done before you commence fishing to be eligible to weigh-in. However, if you do register to compete on the day you will only receive an entry kit (brag mat and tshirt) if there are still any left, you will in anycase receive an official measuring device and the unique item. Entry forms not correctly filled out will render the entrants ineligible for the prize and trophy draw. All entrants must report to the Event HQ before commencing fishing in the competition to receive the event briefing and sign Competitor Participation form. The Event HQ will be open from 8am - 12pm each day to report for briefing and submit entries of fish (if you need to turn up outside these hours to be briefed and submit entries you may need to contact an event staff member to ensure someone is around). Upon successfully reporting to the Event HQ each angler will receive a unique Competitor Number which will be used to identify them throughout the competition. Ensure you keep this number and return it to organisers at the prize presentation for inclusion in a possible lucky door prize. No number means no chance for lucky door prize.

BOUNDARIES:

The fishing competition will take place on the Brunswick River, Brunswick Heads, NSW. The boundaries for the competition are the river mouth bar and the upper most limit of the Brunswick River. Bait can be collected before the time of the event, and outside these boundaries. Please note that all restrictions and fishing practices set by the NSW DPI are to be adhered to, although as this is a catch, photo and release event oversized and undersized fish can be submitted.. Entrants may fish anywhere in between these limits. Entrants are advised to seek authority from private owners if intending to fish from the bank of privately owned land.

STATE OF ORIGIN:

To decide the winning State in the State of Origin, each state will receive State Points on each place for each category. So once all entries have been submitted, the competitor that wins each place will receive State Points for the State they are representing. The State Points will be tallied up and the winning State will be the one with the most points.

• 1st Place = 15 State Points

• 2nd Place = 10 State Points

• 3rd Place = 5 State Point

• 1 State Point also for every Flathead or Bream weighed in that does not take out a place.

Is it just bream and flattie this year or is there more to be added?

Ha ha it says i can register in 1970.... Coin transferred anyway :woohoo:

Hey Trav. I thought with your efforts last year the 2 species would be highly acceptable :)

But seriously, about the 90% of all catches last year fell under these categories so the event organisers decided to improve the quality of prizes for these two categories. This did mean reducing the number of categories.

The Lucky Door Fish is an interesting one though. It gives any and all anglers in the competition a chance at a $100. Just by submitting any catch you make you are in with a chance.

I am really hoping to juggle uni and work and get down there this year!!!

right around the time Nickers baby is due........game fishing?

For god's sake don't bring Nickers down to NSW until the baby is born - we don't want another Mexican in AFO.

Then next year the baby can have its birthday and fish for the Maroons!

what about the beach fishos... ????

what do they do ????

the tailor r here then...

I have to agree this is not my comp but believe it could really be something.

The more options the better.

You would not need more prize categories just different ones and offshore should be in too.

Open it up to all fisho's I reckon

hey Trav

the trophy has ur name on it mate, only one of them and its all yours... enjoy !!!... :woohoo:

there will be another custom trophy this yr for sure guys .....

im a bit concerned about the boundaries and 2 species rule i must....admit... :blink::huh:

with all rules taken into account ....

this is still only a small estuary in the grand scheme of things...

to introduce extended boundaries and an extended species list would be far more beneficial other than detrimental to this special little system.......

there's not many systems that u can target bass and jacks in, in the same 2 hrs ....

scrote got a jack last year ...im not saying make jacks a list fish, just making a point as to the diversity of this system ......

....worth some consideration in my books .....
