yes they are in the Overview section of trhe King of Moreton Bay website but i will list them below as well:

Overview

Australian Lure & Tackle Company Pty Ltd, in conjunction with Sundowners Fishing Club Inc and Capalaba Amateur Fishing Club, is proud to present the inaugural AUSTACKLE “KING OF MORETON BAY†TEAM SERIES. It is a ‘Catch & Release†tournament open to 2 person teams of all ages. It is targeted towards the “family†market rather than Tournament Pros. Geographically, the Greater Moreton Bay area can be split into 2 parts namely Moreton Bay itself (The Northern Bayâ€), and the Jumpinpin-Broadwater area (“The Southern Bayâ€). There is a qualifying series of competitions in each of those areas and then the top 30 teams from each come together for a Grand Final.

The Tournaments are named as follows:

AUSTACKLE KING OF THE NORTHERN BAY

AUSTACKLE KING OF THE SOUTHERN BAY

AUSTACKLE KING OF MORETON BAY (Overall Grand Final Champion)

Each Tournament has 3 species specific qualifying rounds namely:

Round 1 – Bream

Round 2 – Flathead

Round 3 – Whiting

Scores are calculated on a points basis.. All fish must be photographed on an official Austackle Tournament Ruler and points are then awarded according to the length of the fish.

Cheers. That's a fair spread of dates !

well the idea is that it gives people the choice to fish in either the northern or southern qualifyers. You dont have to fish in both but there is nothing in the rules that prevents a team from doing so if they are trying to improve their chances of qualifying for the grand final.

Some other good news just to hand is that Suzuki and Haines Signature have just come on board as sponsors and will be supplying some great clothing packages which will form some of the lower placed prizes.

Just trying to picture the areas for Northern and Southern...I thought it would imply anywhere north of the Brisbane river and anywhere South of it , but apparently not ? ... Will maps be available with the entry forms ? ...Would Manly etc be classed as Northern by what I have read here ?...sorry to be confusing/confused...but it might affect what series I have to enter if I decide to do so

All information is on the King of Moreton Basy website. I have copied the relevant part below:

COMPETITION BOUNDARIES

1. For the “King of the Northern Bayâ€, the southern boundary is Potts Point and the northern boundary is an imaginary line dawn between Skirmish Point and Comboyuro Point and also the Bribie Island Bridge. The eastern boundary is an imaginary line drawn between Reeders Point and Amity Point.

2. For the “King of the Southern Bayâ€, the northern boundary is Potts Point and the southern boundary is the Sundale Bridge across the Nerang River. The eastern boundaries are 100 metres further east of Swan Bay at Jumpinpin Bar and a line drawn out North from the Seaway Tower across the Seaway.

3. For the “King of Moreton Bay†Grand Final, teams can fish anywhere in the 2 areas outlined above.

4. NO INLAND LAKES OR PONDS CAN BE FISHED.

G'day Orca, was just having a quick read through the rules and I have a quick question relating to the scoring.

"SCORING FOR FISH CAUGHT

The points awarded for fish caught will vary according to species and length. The points tables will be published in the Tournament Angler Guide which will be available at the Briefing. In general terms, the angler will get points relating to the length of the fish caught as long as it meets the minimum size for the species.

To reward anglers who catch larger fish, double points will be awarded once a fish is over a certain size. The winning team will be the team who has accumulated the most points. Individual awards will be made using the same rules."

Will there be a number limit on fish? i.e - do you enter your best 5 of the chosen species for example? or is it just get as many fish as you can and enter them all?

Cheers - Jono

Catch as many as you can. We have based our scoring model on the Gold Coast Flathead Classic which i have fished for many years and it seems to work ok

Thanks for the reply regarding "boundaries"...I missed that on the webpage link...considering , considering , maybe , I will think about it , a comp that basically means no travel if you don't want to is certainly tempting...

we have tried to make this comp as user friendly as possible and also appealing to a very wide range of anglers
