End result = have entered(thanks wife) myself and my son into our first ever fishing competition!....and will use all I bought to stock up
No doubt all fish catching ability will disappear now

If its the one on the 17th, i rekon those one day ones are good vc. It puts everyone in a similar area on same day so same conditions. Often no real advantage big boat or small.

Results in a more even playing field than the multiple day ones where folk are spread over a wider area etc.

Good fun for the kids too and if you enter enough of them you end up winning something (spot or otherwise) that covers the entry for a few more.

Good luck !!

I don't have facebook either but for some reason when i google big blue dive and fish on my phone it lets me see their facebook page. Not sure why it must be the way they have it set up.

Will track you down on sunday for sure. As R93 says you should be easy to see with that bandaged up arm

She was pretty hard to get up this morning when the alarm went off thats for sure.
Boy woken boat stuff loaded and out of the shed and we were off.....A little late for ideal launching but we made do.

First spot of the boys choice we sat for 40 min or an hour with the hell burly trail and no bites....up gear and off closer to the area and depth I planned to fish.
How about here he piped up.....was as good as anywhere I figured so a ledger and strayline each were deployed along with shit tonnes of burly.....think Matt Watson with the chipper but all pre chipped

Well shit after over an hour of epic burly trail and no bites at all I was wondering what I had done to deserve this when finally the sealice went to bed and we got a short bite time.

Boy first with a solid snapper on a Terraki rig....he wanted me to get it in as it kept taking any line he got in but I told him it will get tired first just wind it in when you can and after 5 min or so he had a new pb



Next up he had a fish on and his strayline took off as well so I had to grab it honest!



Another nice snap on my softbait rod/reel set as a strayline.

Some gurnards,dropped Kahawai and in a matter of minutes the chilly bin looked not bad at all.




Then just like that the bite stopped and we sat in the rain for a while waiting for tide....well I did my son made a nest up under what little bow my boat has and waited it out till home time....1pm I had had enough and we headed for home.

Sounds very similar to you. We left in the dark, fished 1st spot (28m) couldn't get a bite despite 4 flashers and 2 straylines out with heaps of burly.

Moved to 35m. SW wasn't awesome out there however the fishing improved but it started with grey boys and sea monsters .

Then a couple of nice snaps 12 and 9 pd. Heaps of cod we ended up with our limit on those + a couple of gurnard. Back in at 1pm.

I looked at tascam this arvo at about 3 and there was only 1knt out there so would have been flat this arvo. Reckon we might get wet in the morning tho.

Never saw a kahawai.

Well done to your young fella with his new pb. Plenty of adults would be happy with that fish.
