Townsville Predators Tournament - who's entering

[Scott nthQld]

I know its a bit far out at this stage, but I made myself a promise last year that I would participate in the 2009 Predators Tournament.

Thos that know me, know I don't have a sizeable boat to get out wider, but would still like to havbe a go this year.

So if there's anyone that wants to enter, or thinking of entering, let me know if you need a deckie for the weekend and I'll be more than happy to join you.

I think from memory its usually around the mayday long weekend, so only 4-1/2 months away.

[ronnien]

been thinking the same scott, even if it's to rough out wide there is other spots in close that gives up some big fish.

Who said big boat, I am seriously thinking of giving it a good shake this year.

Let you know, one thing I do know is where the big sharks are, Ron you know where I am talking about!!!!!

[Rod Fishing]

I to am thinkng of it. Tim and myself were talk about enterng last year but something came up at work. Now that he is gone I will be looking for 1 deckie to enter, if i do enter but i am thinking that it is looking good.

Cheer Rod....

[rhycebullimore]

yea i'll be there...don't need big boats... picked up a few grand last year from estury fish was an enjoyable weekend.

[levinge]

Yeah, but the bigger boat allows for some deep water experiences, can relate to winning in the shallow, used to have a little tinnie and did quite well out of it, But eventually we grow up and our toys get bigger and more expensive (so my wife tells me)!!!

[rhycebullimore]

yea i try to dedicate one day out wide i got some nice trout spots and i have been getting them bigger and bigger up around 7 - 8 kg common so ill give it a rest for a while till the comp now...hopefully they wil fall on the right tides and the wind will be down which ever weekend it is..hopefully not drag out for 3 weeks.

[levinge]

That'll be a first, can't remember the last predators that was actually run on the right weekend!!!

You think that they would bring it forward a couple of months when we actually do have good weather

[matmuller85]

Im bloody well in one in all in i reckon

[ronnien]

do they have a section for FINGERMARK!!! lol. & the grunter.... well.

ron.

[Rod Fishing]

They do for grunter Ronnie.

[Scott nthQld]

they have grunter, winning grunter last year was only 2.75kg. With the run we've had of late ron, we're a shoe in. Can't see a fingermark category though. There's a few other categories there from last year that we could do quite well in i reckon.

Waht sort of boundaries does the comp have?

[ronnien]

thats a good question for rhyce, but if you can fish out the reef i am guessing that it would be over a fair distance.
rod, yeah i know about the grunter section, do you know how much to enter?

ron.

[Scott nthQld]

I think it was 50 bucks p/p entry last year, don't know if you have to pay more to register a boat for the comp though.

[rhycebullimore]

na, 50 p/p is correct if you entering a team on a boat you just have to fill out the paperwork for it...i picked up runner up grunter last year, there was just not too much around last year as in super sized fish...bounderies im not too sure on it is a far sort of distance tho, i mean any reefs area so long as you back for the weigh in.
