Are the results going to be posted here? The Trailer Boat Club don't have them on their own website either.
We got Champion Boat over 6m, 2nd Champion Angler and 2nd Champion Team. The other boat we fished with got Champion Angler and Most Species Caught.
It would be good to see the other results.

sails
Yes, but they were also locals that fished for sails regularly. Wasnt anything new for them.Topend wrote:Well it may be a pretty boat but there are never any gaurantees when it comes to fishing.
The sailfish comp in Broome was once won by a team in a 5.5m centre console tinnie. Good to see they were able to mix with the big game fishing boats and beat them.
Looking forward to seeing you out and about with us Dave.

Thanks for the offer Back-cast, went over late October. had a quick troll at the jessie rockbar, then 5 days at the johnstone, heaps of fish, mostly out of the gutters and drains, but nothing over 88cm. the usual deeper trolling spots and headlands didn't fire for us this year
will be doing the annual trip again in oct/nov this year, and will definately hit you up for some info
cheers.
