Shark Fishing

[sominc]

I was just wondering if any body is fishing the Moreton Bay Shark Fishing Classic???

[jeffo]

i am definatley thinkingabout it. only 60 bucks entry fee. are you an member of a game or sport fishing club? it is a fully sanctioned event isnt it? i will see if any one else from our club is fishing it then decide wether to go or not.

G'day guys,
I'm new to this board but a very keen landbased shark fisherman. The Moreton Bay Shark fishing classic is certainly well worth entering. We're hoping very much to be a part of the comp this year. You're right Jeffo, it is a fully sanctioned event which means that people will be able to claim a record. Last year's event was well organised and attended, although a few more land based teams will be good this year. At this stage I know of 8 interested parties.

All the best,
James

I am landbased aswell. But dont really have enought experience under the belt to consider seriously fishing it. But still wouldnt mind having a go.

And yes it is a fully sanctioned event.

Sounds Good ...Whats the dates ??

Which club is running the show ??

I wouldn't mind getting into some more toothy buggers ..havn't chased them in the bay for a while .,..but plenty out there !

[jeffo]

hey billo... get rob to join a club and he can fish it as well.
it is being run by the moreton bay game fishing club.
there is a free seminar on tuesday the 9th of march at moreton bay trailer boat club. all are invited and they will give info on how to catch those toothy critters in the bay. might be interesting

G'day guys,
Just a note on being a member of a club to fish the comp. You don't actually have to be a member of any club. What you can do is pay a $25 QGFA affiliation fee which covers you for the weekend, and allowing you to claim a record should it come your way.

cheers, James

[Billo]

Thats alright ...i am a GFAA member and joining up with the Surfers game club right now anyway !

So whats the run down ? i know how to fish for sharks in the bay ..but maye not be able to make the info night..
How is the comp working ?? who's fishing LBG and who is on the water ? what are the costs for someone already in a club ?

Does any one want another angler on a boat ......have own gear ???


Questions questions too many questions.....

[sominc]

I will be fishing Land Based or at least having a play (thats if i dont get a spot on a boat, anyone )

The comp will be held over the 20th-21st of march.

If interested go to ur local tackle store they should have pamphlets.
Cheers
Tom

P.S. Nice shark james

[Billo]

Her's my best yet land based as of the moment .......


Not sure if i can fish this comp though ......i will probably be fishing the Couran Cove comp that weekend

[Hutcho]

Where did you land that toothy critter Billo?

Is it a whaler?

[Brissyguy]

Jeffo,

Is this a tag and release comp or are they weighing in ???

Cheers,
Rich.
