Hi GuysAll Getaway Outdoors

Hi Guys

All Getaway Outdoors are taking registrations for Junior entrants (16 and under) and are accepting the fee of $10 and the entrant then receives a zenith kids combo free. All you then need to do is take your registration form with your receipt to McCallum Park on Saturday (where the adults register) and then you will also receive your lucky registrations card and catch card for the junior too. Good luck fishing and I'll see you all down there :)

Prizes

Does anyone know what the prizes will be. Over the years the prize pool has become worse and worse.

 

There was a time when you could win some really good gear but that is no longer the case.

 

I reckon they should do away with the tagged fish and make the prizes a bit more attractive.

 Dad doesnt want to do the swanfish because he doesnt think the prizes are worth it

and it is true people probably spent more money on fuel going to spots

Back in the day the prizes included: -

 

Tagged fish - $10000

Mystery fish  - $1000 (Gear and cash)

Biggest Black Bream - Around $500 in gear and cash

Mulloway - Around $500 gear and cash

 

Local tackle shops would sponsor the event with custom built rods coupled with good quality reels 

 

Over the years the registration has increased but the prizes have seriously reduced in value.
