20th Anniversary Trailerboat tournament today
More than 1000 anglers cast the lines in Port StephensMore than 1000 anglers will cast the lines for the 20th anniversary Club Marine Trailer Boat Fishing Tournament in Port Stephens today (Friday March 22) until Sunday (March 24).
Fishing aboard some 450 boats, the throng are out to catch $80,000 in cash for the biggest species -- 14 categories all told with first, second and third place prizes for seniors and juniors -- and lucky-draw prizes.
The big one is a lucky draw trailerboat rig comprising Savage Jabiru 385 Pro with Evinrude E-TEC outboard and a Lowrance sounder and Club Marine insurance. The package is worth more than $18,000.
Fishing reports suggest that fishing in the family-orientated event should be excellent, with snapper snapping around the offshore reefs, and no doubt some big jewfish lurking around the beaches and estuaries.
The new tournament location, the Cruise Terminal at Nelson Bay, will include a barbecue on Saturday afternoon, main presentation on Sunday afternoon, and a Shimano live tank holding a bunch of local bream, which are the only live species weighed in the tournament, and other species.
Online registration at www.tbft.com.au until this Sunday night for this weekend’s 20th anniversary Club Marine Trailer Boat Fishing Tournament in Port Stephens.
