Good day gentlemen!
How many of you are counting down the days before this great event???
Ive had an update from Ash Matthews (Seafever Sportfishing and also Da Man when it comes to this comp) Ive just cut and paste it, so if youve got any further enquiries, feel free to throw him a line, or have a chat with him. Ash LOVES his GTs, so your amongst friends
Take it away Ash:
Just a reminder to all lovers of the great GT that the inaugural "GT Fever
in the Whitsundays" comp is almost upon us. Running over the long weekend in
May 4/5th it's a great opportunity to mix it with a bunch of like minded
anglers in pursuit of the great fish!
Rules are basic and here's a quick run down.
No bait allowed all fish must be caught on artificials.
The fishing grounds are open but teams must attend the Friday night briefing
and teams need to be at the presentation Sunday to receive any trophies!
The biggest gt by length will be the champion angler with also a runner up
award.
A prize given for the individual angler that catches the most gts (minimum
size if 60cm to qualify) and a runner up.
The most gts caught by a team and a runner up team.
All fish are to be photographed on a brag mate then released.
Anglers should note that not only is there the Great Barrier Reef at the
door step but the Whitsunday islands and coast line also hold good numbers
of quality gt's.
if you have never been to the whitsundays before you owe it to yourself as
it really is one if the greatest boating/fishing and marine locations in the
country. teams are encouraged to raft up on the Saturday night either at the
reef or the islands if the weather is suitable. It should be a great weekend
and with the public holiday on the Monday there is no need to rush home
after the Sunday presentation as the bar will be open until late!
$50 entry gets you a sausage sizzle on the Friday briefing night a feed on
the Sunday presentation and all the trophies. Briefing and presentation will
be at the wgfc clubhouse which is the host club but the comp is open to the
public. More info can be found at www.gtfever.com.au or email ash
