Boyington214 0 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 The 2010 comp saw in excess of 700 anglers with well over 200 boats. What I can tell you is that the event is extrememly well planned with an army of volunteers to assist with launching, car parking, sea rescue, comp officials and many more areas. The organisation of this event is second to none.Had an absolutely fantastic time even though we did not do too well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jagger 24 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Cheers AFF...already talked to Nev but will be my father and Brother in law so don't want to impose on anyone.Did get a contact out fo the link but hasn't called back yet...fingers crossed !the spots we plan on fihsing was 60km from Broughton or about 15km from Whyalla... no brainer really !! All else fails we will just stay in the caravan park but like the security of a property for the boat. Nomally get a place around broughton or Pt hughes for around $50 a night, 3 bedroom house with lock up fencing !! Can't complain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
