Brisbane River Bream & Snapper Comp-Official Post

[Angus]

Dear AFO members,

This post is to detail the ins and outs of the upcoming Brisbane River Bream & Snapper Competition 2008.

Event: This competition will be held on the 20th July 2008 and is open to both lure and bait fishermen. Although not mandatory, live weigh ins are strongly encouraged, however we do understand if your boat does not have the facilities to make this a reality.

Time: The competition will kick off at 5:30am on July the 20th and will conclude at 3:00pm sharp on the same day. Registrations will be made via email and you do not need to register with the event organizers before commencing fishing. Your honesty in adhering to these time frames will be most appreciated. Anyone found to have caught fish outside the designated time frames will be regretfully disqualified.

Location: You may launch your boats anywhere you choose. However I would suggest Comslie boat ramp is the best place to do this as that's where the final Weigh In and BBQ will occur.

Categories: There will be, as the name of the competition suggests 2 major categories for this event:

1. Heaviest Bream.

2. Heaviest Snapper/Squire.

The red indicates the boudaries for the comp. Obviously all rules and regulations about fishing around wharves etc must be observed. Im sure some of you will be happy to see that the rock wall at the mouth is included. [img size=284]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/BR.JPG

4-8lb is perfect for river squire/snapper.

In any case, the prestegious prize goes to the more prestegious fish.

[James W]

this sounds awesome...im sure myself and grub (my dad) will be keen as

[fishyman]

im keen, but unsure if i will be yakking it or not.

[MichaelJ]

[rayke1938]

I am in money transferred. Spare seats in boat for non boaters if they can put up with an old f@rt.

Stu how much for your secret spots???:laugh:

Cheers

Ray:laugh:

[shortie]

I will be working

[jeff f]

email sent i'm there

[Angus]

Thanks to everyone thats RSVP'd already! Should be a sweet turn out!

[bigtez]

I should be allowed out for this one. I will also have a spare seat in the tinny for anyone who wants a ride. However I will probably have to finish up early as I have other commitments in the afternoon.

[fishyman]

i wont know if the boat will be here for atleast 2 weeks.

so until then, if anyone has room for 2 little 17 year olds on their boat that would be great

[rumrunner]

yep im there for sure Gus!

i get back from nz in time!:woohoo:

might have a few spots for deckies on my boat! will keep yas posted!

pitty mud isnt included:(

but all good i have another cod/squire hole within the boundrys!

cheers Ian

[kriso]

i will be very hung over and possibly working will come by if i can make it to see the great catches from everyone.

[bretto]

I would like to come but just gotta check out a few things and see if I can get out there. Will be on my yak if I can. Never fished the river before so chances are I wont catch much.

[Nastymind]

I will try to manipulate my work roster and get back to you soon.

Sounds like a blast.

I may possibly be able to take some boatless people too.

[MichaelJ]

sucks i cant go:( :( :(

got a game on that day

[pcsolutionman]

Started work on the Custom Loomis dsr820 prize for biggest Snapper tonight, ill post some pics tomorrow should be awesome

Lee

[bigtez]

I take it as it is a comp on weight that a photo entry won't be acceptable for a Snapper?

[fishyman]

you can weigh them live bigtez so that would iliminate killing them if you dont want to

[bigtez]

I don't have the facilities to keep a decent size one alive and I won't get home till late Sunday night so I don't think it would last to well dead. Its not a big issue just wondering wether I should try and figure out how to catch snapper before this weekend or stick to bream fishing.

[benno573]

mate if you keep them in an esky on ice there won't be a problem waiting until later that night to get them into a fridge.

[Angus]

Yeah i was going to suggest an esky. It should keep fine. If you get one big enough that it wont fit in the esky!! Well well done! We can BBQ it on the spot

Angus

[chubbstar]

I doubt that I'll be in this one:(

But If I'm not working, I can give you a hand setting up etc?

Let me know if I can help Angus;)

Jayson

[Angus]

Cheers Jayson, dont really think there will serious set up though.

Everyone: Courtesy of Ray and Jake Walker and Rod and Kath Vardy, we will have some awesome additional prizes for the the Bream category and snapper category.

Each category will also have a 2nd and 3rd place prize.

Cheers.

Angus

[Angus]

All prizes addded guys. Check it out.

Angus

[fishyman]

a 5019kg BC rod

WHOLY MOLY

im guessing incorrect spelling???

[bigtez]

Or its a 5'0" 1piece 9kg rod.....

[fishyman]

yeah that would be my guess

[Angus]

Woops.

Fixing now.

[Feral]

Just paid my loot!

[Angus]

Cheers to everyone who has RSVP's already.

Angus

[namyau]

is the entry fee per person? per team??

also is there going to be a misc fish or just strictly bream and snapper

[Angus]

Being a bream and snapper comp it will just be for those species. The BRC is the more diverse Brisbane River Comp.

The entry fee in per person as this is not a team event.
