Before I rattle off the winners and the all important bragging rights for North versus South I would like again to thank our key sponsors for making this event possible. Without them being involved and being prepared to support us locally we wouldn't have been able to put on the day.

and others (you know who you are, and a big thank you for your silent contributions)



To the winners go the spoils, and whilst the NOR comp didn't have as big a catch as the SOR event, the diversity of species was pretty good I must say. It certainly appeared that everyone enjoyed the day, not necessarily so much for the quality of fishing but more the chance to catch up and put faces to names.



A personal thank you on behalf of Adam and myself goes to Tim for all his hard work behind the scenes in making the day a huge success. Also to anyone else who lent a hand, offered advice or simply showed up on the day, a big thank you too.



A quick reminder to all the anglers that caught dhuies and pinkies on the day that the research guys would love to take your frames. Just look for the Dhufish Frames thread and it has all the details. A total of 11 Dhuies were weighed in during the NOR comp and believe it or not that was the most common species weighed.



So here are the winners:



Biggest Baldie: ...........................Steve (Dean's dad)

Biggest Blackarse.......................Kal

Biggest Dhufish...........................Rob

Biggest KG...................................Cody

Biggest Leatherjacket.................Kal

Biggest Pinkie.............................Rob

Biggest Skippy............................SPESS

Unusual Catch.............................Salmo (Bonito)

Unusual Catch.............................Max (Red Throat Emporer)

Most species...............................Kal (5 species)



And the two biggies!!



Champion Angler........................Steve (712 points) That Baldie was a cracker!

Champion Boat...........................Kal, Khalid (boat average 503 points) I have some more prizes for you Kal)



And finally the big one...........







SOR..............................................243 points average per angler

NOR..............................................261 points average per angler





WELL DONE NORTH OF THE RIVER !!!!!!!! Bragging rights until the next comp.



As we mentioned on the day we still have the overall champion Angler trophy to be awarded and some money left over from the entry fees. We will endeavour to organise a Swan River "land based only" BBQ piss up gathering where some additional prizes will be available for a suitable Swan river category. This will allow all the shore based deckies that didn't get a crack on a boat a chance to win a prize. Details will be posted as soon as we can agree on a date, so watch this space.



Congratulations again to all the winners.
