Best of Six Rounds Champions

Overall champion and MotorGuide winner - 'jonr' 626 points
Runner-up and Lowrance HDS7 Gen 3 winner - 'Cuddlescooper' 607 points
Third - Reidys/Deep River/Rapala/Halco mixed lure pack - 'Trent' 585 points

I also ran a Southern Freshwater Round for a bit of fun so I could enter a fish. NBN is looking good for a win with some great entries. This round closes December 25 so still a chance for me tonight :twisted:

All winners please send me your full names and postal details.

Appeals can be made up until January 2 and after that the prizes are locked in regardless of the merit of later appeals.

The next Seadogs comp kicks off February 1. As discussed on an earlier thread, the new comp will have some changes, so interest is maintained even after the gun fishos take the early lead. The changes will add something for hardcore fishos and those who don't get out much.

The comp will again be open to fishos in all states that have barramundi, and there will be another Southern Freshwater Round for trout, redfin, yellas, bass etc.

Special mention to previous Seadogs winner 'CuddlesCooper' who was once again setting the pace in 2015 but then landed a job as a pro fishing guide, which made him ineligible to continue, but he got second place anyway.

Special mention also to 'jeffish' who caught more fish through the year at East Point than most fishos did with boats, and he also skillfully landed a golf ball.

Theodosius did well and Buzzdog started well with good fish in the first three rounds, but then went quiet.

The Seadogs Fish of the Year was Scottmac's 127cm barra, caught in Round One (pictured below).

With the rain looking good so far, Seadogs 2016 should be a cracker.

Many thanks to the sponsors, and congrats to entrants who posted fish.

Territory business owners/managers who want to get involved with a prize next year can email me at [email protected]

Thanks again to all involved, especially Swoffa who knocked together the spreadsheets, a huge help and much better than the job I was doing in previous years :mrgreen:

Cheers for a great comp again! :clap:

Thanks to Matt, all the sponsors, and yes, the big girl was caught on a Reidys Big Ass. Great lures and Col was good enough to deliver a handful of lures to my door for permission to use the pic of the 127cm on his website. Top bloke.

I have had an appeal from CuddlesCooper re his final placing. Cuddles returned to pro guiding and stopped entering fish after Round 8, but his scores for fish caught before pro guiding give him second spot. I had intended to give him the monthly prizes he had won but looking at my previous correspondence I said his rounds "would count" which suggests count for the end of year, so I have to let this appeal through.

Appeals remain open until January 2.

Appeals can include fish caught in other competitions, which are ineligible.

Original post has been amended to reflect latest appeal.

A reminder that I need the addresses of all the 2015 round winners so I can send prizes out.

Round winners get a set of awesome poly Tonic sunnies so I need to know which model each winner wants.

The sooner I get this info the sooner I can send out the prizes.

A reminder also that appeals close January 2, and after that all winners are set in stone.

Attached is a pic of the superb Deep River lures that Barney sent, these are A-grade handmade lures, it's almost a shame to get them wet.

I'll post up pix of the other prizes as they arrive.

I'll also post up the changes for the new comp well before the Feb 1 start.
