Im with you Jonesy only getting a bit better than 8/1 on your money and it's going to be a fifty horse race. And some of those thorough breds would be a bit good for this donkey. Just go race 1 no 4 at Darwin Dogs Friday night all up into Race 2 no 4 and you will collect a lot easier than chasing all this these high powered Skeeters up and Down the Daly.

This is just my two cents, for what it is worth. And I have no knowledge of Tournament Fishing as I have never done it and I do not have visibility of all of the details of this tournament series. But I have just spent a couple of days researching tournaments because I would like to enter some in NQ next year - targeting impoundment Barra.
From my internet research - to enter one of the ABT Tournaments as a "Non-Boater" costs around $160 a tournament.(More for a boater and even more for a Pro) You get to fish and learn from someone else on both days and mix with some highly experienced fisho's. This is on top of the $50 ABT annual m'ship.
So, from reading previous responses in relation to this tournament series, the cost of entry for a team of 6 is $6000. I cannot confirm this from the linked article, but here is the maths. $6000 divided by 6 fisherpersons is $1000 each. If this is spread over 5 rounds it equates to around $200 per entrant. Very similar to entering one of the ABT Tournament series.
Happy to be educated, but maybe the cost of this is not too far out there?? Though it does sound extreme from an up front perspective.
I do like the fact that 40 of the teams have to be NT locals, you guys know your Barra fishing for sure.
Interesting stuff anyways,

NT Barra Pro Tournament
Does anyone know who's behind this tournament?
I googled "Craig Jarvis" & found nothing.
Here's the proposed rounds:
Daly River – 22nd and 23rd of May
Mary River – 12th and 13th of June
South Alligator River – 10th and 11th of July
Victoria River – 14th and 15th of August
Darwin Harbour – 4th and 5th of September
Borroloola was mentioned in the NT News, so does that make Borroloola the location for the final?

A Barra fishing comp in the middle of the dry! 
Can't the southerners handle the heat?
Or are they just trying to get away from the cold, and have something to put on the telly when its too wet and cold for comps down south?
Surely it would be better to have it in the buildup and watch teams catching quality fish than watching them struggle through the dry?

Hi All.
Call me a sceptic but can anyone answer these:
Who is Caig Jarvis?
The rules state there is more info on the Nt Pro Barra Serries webpage, can anyone find this web page? (I've Google and cant find any webpage)
$6000.00 per team of 6, $50000.00 in prize money, $2000.00 Deposit and balance paid by end of January 2010 seams high to me. considering the Nats and the Classic cost $4500.00 per team of 3 and for your entry fee you get full accom,meals,fuel plus more for the week, what do you get for your money with this comp?

Yeh you know I was thinking about that, $10 says when they say the South they mean the billabongs around jabbers and not the south itself.ghound wrote:
Chasing big barra at the South in July is going to be a challenge
Just like where they say Mary River what they prolly mean is corrob.
Would be interesting to see their cut off points for each comp, etc.

You would hope old mate who is planning this comp would have his permits to fish Kakadu organised as i'm sure they wont be to impressed if he has 50 teams turn up for the weekend un anounced. Not sure but i reckon the Kakadu Klash is the only comp to be allowed to run in a national park in Austaralia.
Also i reckon they need to but a bit more effort into and they should be planning this now for next year not this year gives more opurtunity to advertise and for people to arrange teams as you most likley only going to get people who Fish the Nationals, Classia and the Klash.
but thats my 2 bobs worth.....

Dunno what's going on here, but:
1. Can't find the guy running it.
2. Can't find the website.
3. No reply to email.
Maybe I'm just not looking in all the right places.................................
Is it just me????
Just received a response to the email, complete with invitation and rules.

i enquired about it. got an email back with a rego form to fill out. i replied asking what you get for the 6000... answer?
pretty much nothing. entry to the comp, one breakfast and a ''showbag'' which i imagine includes ur 20lb braid..
NO fuel, accomodation and really food provided..
tossed up a few ideas with the fellas and this what we decided.. 6000 to enter.. plus.. each destination is approx 3 hours (except harbour) but vic is around 6 so we will work off 3 hours.. Time you pay for fuel for the 4x4, fuel for the boat, accomodation, food, other expenses along the way your starting to look at mega bucks. We put the figure up around 10,000 in total to fish the 6 events! pretty crazy really..
It also states somewhere in the rules you must have insurance? now i would be asking if that is just your general boat insurance most of us have OR some sort of public liabilty? which would prob add at least another 1000 bucks to the total...
Ive come to the conclusion that im not going to put in an expression of interest this year. Maybe next year but will have to see how it all pans out.. i smell a abit of the east timor comp here...
I have a team in the classic this year.. its pretty expensive to, but you get something like 90L of fuel a day, 3 meals a day and accomodation, so u add all that up and it substaintally brings the cost of entering down..
just my thoughts, cheers
