Only two fish of each eligible species can be weighed in.
The eligible species are queenfish, blue salmon, threadfin salmon, mangrove jack, coral trout, spanish mackerel, trevally, dolphin fish, cobia, golden snapper, estuary cod, black jewfish, parrot/tusk fish and red emperor.
All fish weighed must exceed 1kg.
Sailfish and marlin will be the measured and the weight calculated with three points awarded per kilo.
Each team may have up to three members. No purely junior teams will be allowed.
There are no restrictions on the number of teams per boat.
A briefing will be held at the club on Thursday, October 19, 2006, at 6pm before the start of the annual Fishing Tackle Auction.
The briefing will outline weather and anticipated sea conditions, fishing areas and fishing grounds.
The weigh-in will be between 3pm 10pm at the DTBC on Sunday, October 22.

it's more like 10 days melville, or 2 days comp then 8 days melville. of course this means my scurvy mates will have a 2 day headstart on the barra, which i may never hear the end of.... think i'll just go to melville... decisions decisions...

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.

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.
Cheers,
Topend.

Yes, but they were also locals that fished for sails regularly. Wasnt anything new for them.

Looking forward to seeing you out and about with us Dave. :cheers:

Thanks for the offer Back-cast, :mrgreen: 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 :cry:
will be doing the annual trip again in oct/nov this year, and will definately hit you up for some info :clap:
cheers.
