    Was into big blue at lunch today (floggers were closed monday ) to stock up on some stuff for the forum trip.
    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

    For snapper

    Ledger rig+ stray-line is my go to....depends on weather/tide sometimes stralyline is not possible with wind against tide etc, sometimes go heavy weight with free floating rig from sinker imitating a set-line but not often....I am an active fisher preferring to be in contact with my hook at all times.

    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
