The 2010 Noosa Jackoff.

[Didley]

We’ve had the footy grand finals, the Commonwealth Games, and Bathurst, now we have the Melbourne Cup on the 2nd of November. Then the one all of Australia has been waiting for The 2010 Noosa Jackoff.

The JO will be held on the weekend of the 13-14th of November, this will be the third running of the event and on early indications the biggest. The JO is primarily a social get together for like minded anglers with a passion for our Mangrove Jack. Arrangements and organization is kept to the basic and it’s up to everyone to essentially look after there own accommodation, food ect.

The competition will start at 5am sharp on the Saturday morning, at the dirt boat ramp at John’s Landing Camping Ground. I’ll be bringing a 4 burner BBQ and having a free sausage sizzle and coffee for all in the hour before, so 4am on. Bring a brag mat and digital camera to record your catch. A token of some sort will be given out at the start, for each boat, to be placed the photo. Catch and release is strongly encouraged, but not compulsory. The finish and digital photo “weigh-in “of the comp will be at 10am Sunday at the same place as the start. Largest Mangrove Jack by length wins $300 voucher to "Barra jacks Fishing and Outdoor" and receives the honor of getting their name on the Jackoff Perpetual Trophy, which hangs in “Barra Jacks, Kawana†through out the year. If your going to start late or finish early, that’s fine, but it’s your responsibility to check in with me prior to starting to fish or leaving the river area. The entire Noosa River and it’s tributaries are open to fish, with the exclusion of “Noosa Waters†behind the lock. The fish must be line caught, lure or bait are acceptable. All those taking part are responsible for their own safety and are expected to behave in a responsible manner. This is intended to be a pleasant, friendly competition and your cooperation in making it such is greatly appreciated.

All those interested in the Noosa Jackoff, please PM or email me your Email address and I'll return a word document, "Nomination form" that will give all details.

I will have copies of this form on the day for you to sign (to cover my ass). Please also provide a contact method to best contact you if there is a last minute cancellation necessary due to weather ( I will try to avoid this at all costs, a little shower never hurt any one)

$10 entry fee

I will be arriving at John’s Landing on Friday 12th around lunch time and camping there. I envisage most will meet here around meal times and hopefully a campfire at night. Please bring some firewood if you can, as supplies at John’s are very limited. There are some great people coming, and hope to see you there.

Cheers Grant Hislop

Sounds like a good event Grant. I think a few people wanted to get up to it last year but it clashed with the Brisbane River Classic. Would love to get up there this year though
