Just a heads up that the Australian Anglers Association is holding the State Boat Fishing Championships out of Ocean Reef Marina this Saturday 28th March.

There are 170 members of affiliated clubs registered, fishing out of 70 boats, so will be a little busier than normal.

Start time is 6:30am, so if you are not competing but want to launch from Ocean Reef, I'd recommend a 5am start or leave it until after 6:30am.  You obviously can launch whenever you want, but it will be a bit more congested.

If anyone is interested, the weigh-in will commence at around 4:30pm at the Ocean Reef Sea Sports Club.  Public are most welcome.

Note that the competition has been species based (only 1 of each) for a number of years, so this event is not about huge piles of fish....3 or 4 species would be average, with the Men's winner likely to have around 8 species.
