Good luck everyone   

Sponsors and prizes will be added throughout the season and updated in this post.

Hey guys, yes the footy tipping comp is back on this year. Unfortunately sponsors fell through last year. I'll make sure there is some kind of prize at the end of this years comp.

The new comp will be announced shortly.

Awesome! You can cruise around for ages with that tank 

Awesome report mate, exactly what I've been keen to read about. 

Sounds like the last drop made for a pretty decent session. Thanks for posting up mate

Definitely going to have to try that salt n pepper squid recipe 

The long awaited announcement of the Strike Hook / Spotters Salmon comp winners. Probably very frustrating for those in the running for a prize, my apologies.

We had to have a good hard think about a winner with this one. The rules stated that all fish had to be measured and photographed with a measurement tool of some sort. Considering the amount of fish caught by some members we understand this was hard to achieve, taking a photo of each fish while a school is bubbling away is just not going to happen. Something we can improve on in the future.

Going by numbers and size and some kind of measurement in photo we put together a few members salmon posts adding all fish we could see in the photos to come up with a winner.

Major Prize: Spotters prize pack including, very cool cap, sun shade, sunglasses strap and a pair of awesome SPOTTERS FURY (Gloss Black) with Halide lens. I'll also throw in a Strike Hook beanie and neck warmer seeing that it's still cold some days.

The winner is.... WILDA!!!

Due to the quality of the reports and great information from a certain member we decided on one runner up prize including salmon lures and poppers, I'll throw in a Strike Hook beanie and neck warmer in this pack too.

Runner up is.... DOOBIE!!!

Well done guys, you caught some great fish and wrote up some very good reports. Thanks for sharing your salmon adventures with us all.

A big thank you to Spotters who sponsored the salmon comp with an awesome prize pack. Head over to www.spotters.com.au and check out their extensive range of polarised sun glasses, I highly recommend Spotters sunnies for fishing. I never go fishing without mine!

You can check out Fleurieu Fishing and Social Club, you can find them on Facebook, there are a couple of members in the forum too. There is a new section for them which I've only just setup, posting should start soon. There may be a couple of other clubs in there that you can check out also.

I stole them   haha

Crap!!! Sorry guys, this has dragged on way too long. A winner will be announced after the OnkaStompa is over and done with on the weekend.

Sorry for the delay 

It's getting real close. We're hoping to see a bunch of you there.

If you can make it on the day make sure you come up to the bbq and say g'day so we can put some faces to names.

Nice explanation Plankton. I've heard about the pulley rig and wondered how it works. I might have to give it a go sometime.

Sounds good, might have to give this a go.

Thanks AF for putting your hand up and offering to help mate, it is very much appreciated. I look forward to seeing you there

G'day everyone,

The Strike Hook BBQ is something we do every year at the OnkaStompa and is real helpful for raising extra money on the day of the OnkaStompa for the Childhood Cancer Association.

At the moment we have 3 definite volunteers to help man the BBQ. A huge thanks going out to Southie and Doobie who will be be there along with myself.

We are looking for another volunteer or two. If anyone can lend a hand for even a short time we would be very grateful.

Some of the tasks involved are cooking the snags, preparing the snags and bread, handing over drinks dealing with orders and handling cash.

If anyone would like any further info just send me a pm or post down below.

Cheers

Nice clip mate.

Well done Rob!!! This is great news

The below info is sourced from the Southern Times newspaper and from the following website http://messenger.newspaperdirect.com/epaper/viewer.aspx

The Harbour Kiosk owner Rob MacKay will continue to operate at the O'Sullivan Beach site!

Thanks for the tips and opinions. I don't really care about the savings, I just like a bit of DIY and try not to waste possible resources. I still have some lead laying around but thought I might as well add to my collection but only if it was easy enough to do and was worth the effort.

I have a recycle yard close to me so I might just take them down there.

Cheers guys

I have a few old batteries laying around and was wondering if it is worth stripping it down and using the lead for sinkers?

I know it's not the safest thing to do, I'm usually overly cautious with stuff like this.

Also is there a way to safely dispose of the acid that is kind to the environment?

Great session there, that esky had a decent haul in it.

What's going on with this salmon comp?????

There's been a little discussion in the background regarding the technicalities of the rules and what was included in the entries.

A winner will be announced soon!

I'm doing a huge smoke up this weekend with my mate. I'll try to remember his brine mix and all the details.

The Strike Hook and Spotters Salmon comp for 2016 has come to an end.

There is a little organisation going on in the background while all posts are gone over again and winners are decided.

Thank you to all those who participated and posted up some great salmon reports

I'm keen to just get out for a fish, been so busy lately.

On my list are:

Snapper, a couple of pannies to eat but really want that thump thump thump of a decent monster red. If I achieve this then a snapper on plastic, yet to be crossed off the list for me.

Legal mully

A couple of decent Onk bream sessions would be cool
