Offshore fisherman - Anywhere from Hutchies to as far south as you like, most guy's ive spoken to are going through South Passage Bar as the weigh-in will be held at Amity Point Caravan Park.



So far the prize catergories are -

As you know dusky flathead have a max size limit of 75cm and most blokes won't keep them when there up around that size, so a clear picture on a ruler or brag mat will be fine if you land a big one that you return to the water.

(must be legal fish, no vermin or undersize fish)
(cumulative length, example = 3 fish at 500mm each is a total length of 1500mm)

As this catergory is for released fish you will need to provide photos of the fish on a ruler or brag mat

You won't get away with putting up a tent other than in a designated spot. Its heavily regulated.
If the wind picks up from the West then there is a small shore dump in front of the caravan park (see google Earth).
With the smaller tides it might be an idea to move down to the Wallum pool anchorage. The sandbanks should be clear. I guess we just wait and see what happens

[TREVELLY]

Hey Tim,

Did the prize stuff I posted arrive?

Please amend the prize as what I sent is the prize ie I did not post a bottle of scotch

So it's the estuary lures, one Wahoo trolling lure and the electric Ausfish scales
