Sharkbay no fishing fiesta

Just seen the sharkbay fishing fiesta won't have a fishing competition any more it's just a fiestanow apparently. They are blaming the changes on the new rules but sounds like the committee has taken the left turn and gone green doesn't sound like sharkbay to me only ever went to one and there wasn't a lot of fish weighing in but a lot of people having a good time that was about 20 years ago seems a shame.

You could be right there. The rules and regulations have changed a lot since I was there last. The Gascoyne and pilbara regions will get hammered more than usual. We're giving coral bay a miss this year . Wanted a change and I feel there will be lots more boats in the region
