Thanx mate, looking foreward 2 it.

[Oceandonkey]

Could you please spell everything out for those that havent competed in a tournement type event before when you post the info. Ill be in it for sure but more on the social side of things but still wouldnt want to break any rules.

[ellicat]

I'll give you the heads up OD...

1. No anchoring of boats (i.e. you cannot use your anchor)

2. Minimum line size - Mono 100lb; Braid - you cannot use braid;

3. No bait.

4. Allowable lure types - all lures must be skirted surface lures.

5. Landbased fisherpersons must only wear rubber thongs.

6. Boats must be made of wood.

7. Any fish caught must be weighed in live.

8. Once a fish is weighed in you cannot recommence fishing until ellicat has weighed in a larger one.

[Oceandonkey]

ahahah the worst bit is i believed the anchor bit then when i saw the 100lb mono i had my doubts.

[Angus]

Mate dont worry, the entry forms go into the details in great detail. Plus there will be plenty of time to clarify anything you still may feel unsure about in the forums prior to the event.

To save you time the engraving on the major trophy should read \"Southern Chillies\" Biggest Fish.

Hey OD I'll spell it out for you. F U N - fun. I suggest you leave all the worry to the web guys and enjoy the ride. They do a good job and leave nothing unturned.

However last year we all gave em a bit of a hard time cause we all took it a bit serious so this year I am going to do my darnest to keep it fun.

[Oceandonkey]

do i have to have a boat name? I dont have one atm i thought it would look ....well... i thought people would make fun of me having a name for a tinny.....is that stupid to name a tinny?

[Feral]

Mines named ,Brian's is named!

Gives it character!

[ellicat]

How about \"Pat Noster\"

Good name for a rig

[Feral]

Probably will officially compete this year again, boat insurance is probably affordable. (Price is ok, its just if your boat is over 20 years old, one has to apply in person, which sounds a bit worrying) If insurance becomes an issue for me, (IE they wont give it to me) I will just happen to fishing in the River for 3 days, and make a donation to the site suspiciously about the same as an entry fee!

[STU]

I named my first boat for sentimental reason \"take it steady\" my grandad used to say that to me and he was the first person to take me fishing so when he passed away I thought that would be a good tribute. Plastic mans parents boat is named \"dam crazy\" cause of all the dam fishing they did in it.

[Plastic Man]

those were the days dam crazy and take it steady sure had a lot of fish boated it going to take a long time to get the new boats up in the numbers

[Brian D]

Hey OD what \"O Donk\" for your tinny.

Mine is called Fur Ball cause I get forking up $$$ and I have to cough when I talk to my wife about it.

The other is called \"Cannon Ball\" cause Feral called his Silver Bullet and my tinny is shorter and stumpier then the bullet.

But my favourite i sthe boat Ray sold Jeff - \"X-Ray\" :woohoo: :woohoo: Oh crap I crack myself.:blush:

[Oceandonkey]

Ok well awesome ill think of something to call it. O Donk, brian thats seriously up there mate but. but im thinking maybe just plain Oceandonkey. When im rich ill have a fleet of donky's.

lol elli but then everyone will assume im irish and call me patty.
