broome billfish comp
Submitted by DOUG_NT on Mon, 2012-11-12 17:47
planning on heading over and fishing the broome billfish comp again been over 10 years since we fished it so abit changed
with heading over there to fish will we need a fishing license or boat rego or any other things to fish over there during the comp ??
also do they have a decent ramp over there yet we used to pay a fella to launch our boat from the beach near gathiam point i think it was
i seen a pic a while ago with a tractor launching a boat there is that a private setup or can you pay to be launched there ???
any help would be appreciated
cheers doug

Cant answer too many of
Cant answer too many of those questions Doug but there is a fair chance I will find myself up there fishing that one next year as well. Must be catching up for a beer. AIBT held there next year too.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Hi Doug, Jeff Cooper should
Hi Doug, Jeff Cooper should be able to point you in the right direction, pretty sure he is the current club president of the Broome fishing club his email should be Jeff.cooper@broomefishingclub.com.au or try president@broomefishingclub.com.au or tel: 0418906816
What size boat are you planning to fish out of?, I know Jeff fished 2004 out of his 4.2 tinny and launched from barred creek to fish the grounds just out from there, will try to find out about paid launching from a mate living up there

cheers fellas fishing out of
cheers fellas
fishing out of a 7m tri gull wing walk round cab
same boat we fished out of 12 odd years ago
sorry should have mentioned we are travelling over from darwin
if anyone in the broome area knows of any industrial sheds would be handy too heard there aren many cheap un rented ones now as the town is booming
we used to just rent a big shed for the 10 days so boat and all gear could be locked inside so anyone know of anything like this would be handy too
will get onto the president soon just thought id try here first
think they have been told we are heading over but not 100% on that will touch base with them any ways
dodgy should be able to manage to find some time for a few refreshments ;)

Just check the broome fishing
Just check the broome fishing club website for details mate and they will be able to point you in the right direction re. storing your boat and gear. A lot of members run businesses so they may be able to help you out.
Yeah the ramps are still s**t and there is no-one offering a launching service at the moment - a lot of boats rent a mooring to save getting in and out. The crew I fish with have a tractor which makes all the difference and I know theres at least one other tractor in town but they werent fishing the comp last year. If you have no luck I can ask if you can use it to launch but might be a long shot ...
Youll have a ball - it's a really well run comp and teh weather and fish *usually* play the game
