Ok we all know we can sail fast, but have you ever landed a fish on a sailboard? The next challenge is set. This fun day is about setting a new challenge.

Key is bringing the best board to land the big one. Location will be Dorins Road or the pond depending on the wind conditions. It's all about fun fun fun.....

Trust me if you get on to a good fish, it will set the heart racing.....
When Feburary 2nd Saturday 12 Feburary.

First prize for the largest landed fish on a sailboard is a new fishing rod and reel.

BBQ after to finish if Marlin is keen to bring his BBQ?? Please!!

Trophy as well.
Prize for the largest fish out of a boat as well on the day.

Sounds fun do we need to be a Windsurfing member to enter and do you have to be sailing at the same time when your fishing

No need to be a windsurfing Tas Member, it is a fun event.
Andy i think there a a few divisions, ( i.e motor boat class!) so i dont think you have to be sailing while catching the fish.

Yer but it's at Dorans and they're even bigger there, as well as Mako sharks that beach themselves while chasing windsurfers (do you remember that rumor going around). I'll paddle around on my ski and make sure there's no cheats, unless it's blowing 30 knots.

Yes this is on,

Should be a blast

Prize for the largest fish, this is a fun day to see if we can catch a fish on a sailboard and other craft.

Next Saturday 10 am Dorans (Briefing by Morgan and Russ) at this stage but we will keep our eye on the wind and pick the best location closer to Saturday.

Hey Russ how about making this a State Title, could have 3 divisions, Dorans, Low Head and Hawley, then the person that gets the biggest fish is the State Champion

Being as you are the sponsor of this classic event you supply one rod as 1st prize in each division and you need to work out the prize for the state champion

10am Dorans Road this Saturday 10 for 10.30am start till 12.30,

prizes 2 spinning rods and reel combinations
trophy for the winner. bragging rights as well

Boats and other water craft welcome.

Dont forget to check cremorne if you plan on coming down to the comp.
Just went to Dorans and Cremorne. Cremorne looking better at the moment a light little breeze to get you moving but still nice and comfortable.
Dorans choppy and low tide.
I presume we will still meet at dorans to decisde at 10
