  I think it's great that's

  I think it's great that's it's supposed to encourage kids to fish & families to spend time together outdoors but it a disaster for the environment in & around the river. Go for a drive around the upper reaches on the Saturday night & you will find the adults getting pissed by a fire they are not allowed to have & chucking their empties all over the place. Go fo the same drive at 6am Monday morning & the amount of garbage you will find strewn all over the ground & in the river is unbelievable. Great example for the kids that sort of behaviour is. I know many do the right thing & do set a good example but there's just as many that are doing it all wrong. It's not a good look for the fishing community as a whole & it's a lousy impression to leave in the kids minds. 

Great idea, just a shame about the execution of that idea by some of the competitors.

 I dont have a problem with people taking a few bream and flattys to eat. I do have a problem with people KICKING 40cm bream around the oval like footballs before they get the fish weighed then chucking them in the bin...

Yep some d heads ruin it for everyone

 Any bream we catch that is worth weighing in is put in the live bait tank and immediately taken for catch and release weigh in the only other fish we keep is whiting and who wouldn't keep them mmmmm whiting fillets. Just hope work doesn't get in the way of entering this year

Swanfish - FREE KIDS COMBO

Tue, 2013-02-12 13:51

Hey Guys

Yes, go into any Getaway Outdoors store and the first 300 kids to register and pay the $10 fee will receive a zenith kids combo FREE. BE QUICK!!

Unfortunately people with the awful mentality of destroying our river environment is true, our aim is to encourage families to spend time together and get into the great outdoors together whether it be fishing, camping or other watersports. Getaway Outdoors will certainly have a presence at Swanfish this year being a sponsor and would like to see as many families there as possible - the aim is to educate them young to fish for later :)

Cheers

Lou

Swanfish

 Every year I go in swanfish and every year I just miss out and the bream section will take it out this year but few tricks in the bag as for kicking fish around if I saw that wonder if they'd like a kick in the butt disgraceful I reckon although being responsible is what the comp is about without our waterways healthy we won't have these beautiful fish to catch anymore

they dont kick bream around

Sun, 2013-02-24 20:08

they dont kick bream around bream slayer, they use the meat from the fish for food. Please dont make the swanfish look bad when it should just be looked at as a fun day for people to go fishing
