GT Fever in the Whitsundays is a Giant Trevally catch and release Tournament.

Located in the Whitsundays QLD which has one of the largest population of GT's in Australia.

Knowing this is not for every one but there is a die hard fraternity of GT anglers who view this site I thought I would post as an information only thread.

This year will be the inaugural tournament and all are welcome.

Breifing is friday the 3 rd of May at the Airlie Beach Game Fishing Club QLD.

Fishing will commence Saturday morning and cease sunday afternoon (Times TBA).  

There will be a number of different categories and the rules are nice and simple.

Catch and Release Comp with fish being measured on a brag mat (Wet) picture taken and then released points given for length (Nose To Fork).

Min size GT 60cm.

Fish are only eligible if they are caught on artificial lures (No Bait).

Hooks are Barbless.

Any line class or type may be used. 

There Will be three categories.

Biggest (Longest) GT and Runner Up.

Most GT's landed by an individual and runner up.

Champion Team (most GT's divided by number of anglers on boat) and runnner up team.

Entry will be $50 which covers a snag in a bag on the friday night breifing, a solid meal during the Sunday night presentation and the rest will go towardds the trophies etc.Its important to note this event is not about the cash prizes or big prizes...its about having a bit of fun.
