40th Anniversary Dampier Classic - Presented by K.B.G.F.C
One of W.A's premier fishing competitions is celebrating it's 40th anniversary this year with one of the biggest events the committee of King Bay Game Fishing Club has put together. This week long event will feature some great events co-inciding with the Annual FeNaClNG Festival in Karratha.
This is a WAGFA sanctioned tournament covering the three styles of fishing; Tag and Release Billfish, Tag and Release Game Fish and line class Capture covering all line classes (up to 37kg for T&R sections, 60kg fine for capture)
Festivities will kick off with 2 comprehensive information nights by the legendary lure maker Peter Pakula on Monday and Tuesday nights (27/28th July) in the Sunset Room at the Tambrey Centre. The compulsary breifing night will be held on Wednesday 29th July for all competitors.
Lines in starts at 0600 on Friday 31st July and lines out at 1700 on Saturday 1st August where a great social night has been planned at the Gantry for all to join in and tell some tall tales of the past two days fishing. We have been generous and allows a sleep in with lines back in at 0800 on Sunday 2nd with a final lines out at 1700 on Monday with all captures/tags to be at the gantry by 1800.
After 4 big days on the ocean you can relax and join us back at the Tambrey centre on Tuesday 4th August to present the prizes and enjoy the stories from all.
Over $25000 in prizes are up for grabs for Adult Male, Adult Female, Junior and Small Fry catagories in all three fishing catagories along with Champion boat catagories and open catagories including heaviest mackerel daily, billfish, shark and gamefish for the comp along with other prize catagories.
If you didn't get to fish GAMEX this year, why not tow that extra 250kms and try the fish rich and protected waters of the Pilbara coast and the Dampier Archipelago. With 32 known spieces of game fish to chase and plenty of sheltered waters everyone has a shot at winning a prize. With over 200 billfish tagged just this weekend gone for the Billfish Shootout our numbers are just as good as exmouth

Such a shame the dates clash with the Broome Billfish comp this year.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
