Pirtek Fishing Challenge

[youngy]

Hi guys, hope you all had a good day on the water regardless of how many fish you caught.

It was real tough out there, not much tidal flow to encourage feeding and those that were feeding were very timid.

Struggled all day until near the end at 5.30pm, got this one.

Officials will decide length but near but not quite 43cm in my opinion, cheers wayne

[crazywalrus]

well done and good luck. We thought you where going to be competitive with whiting

Did you get 1 youngy

[youngy]

Hi Dassa, yes mate, another mate of mine got one also and his whiting was 39.3cm.

A friend also got one in the Bream section and the Bream was only just over 35cm.

This waiting is worse than the slow day fishing though, cheers wayne

Haha - the girl that got 1st Junior for whiting goes to the school I teach at. She'll be very confused when I say 'well done on catching the biggest whiting' on the first day back at school!!!!

Congrats Youngy - great whiting.

[T Fisher]

congrts bon that monster and winning your division

a feed of fish like that would be a great reward in itself

[youngy]

Hi Guys, thanks for the comments, it has been a fantastic experience.

I was surprised to learn there were just under 4,000 entries in the comp Australia wide, made for good odds to win the boat in the lucky draw.

Hopefully it will get bigger and bigger each year, only $20 to enter and the money goes to a good cause.

kmcrosby, Tiarna is a gun whiting fisherman, her dad isn't bad either, here is a photo of one she caught in a previous comp, cheers wayne

Hi Guys, thanks for the comments it's been a great week.

Kreel sorry mate once my wife has finished with the 4 grand i doubt if there will be enough left for a can of coke.

kmcrosby, Tiarna is a gun fisherman, here is a photo from a previous comp.

At $20 to enter with heaps of prizes and for a good cause lets hope it gets bigger and bigger, cheers wayne
