Looks like Glenelg missed the running next year..:(

[BloodWorm]

Any news if they are going to run the ABT Flathead series again next year? Be great to have an event in VIC.

[Da'Breamer]

Bugger that the S.A. event is the same weekend as the S.A ABT kayak event at West Lakes......:(

Would have entered as Non Boater.....

Ditto. Might go the port round purely to get thrown in a boat with someone different but would have liked to fish both comps.

[Mooza81]

How many competitors would you expect to get in the Tasmanian comp? The reason I ask is because I am going to fish in the Saint Helen's grand slam on the Australia day weekend and might consider headin back over there for the ABT. :rolleyes:

[Richo]

If you had a choice of 3 events to fish over the year and at any location, where would you choose and why?

cheers

has anyone else noticed

Nov 1-2nd- Taree, NSW- BREAM Classic Grand Final- Grand Final

is a Tuesday - Wednesday event and only 2 days before the BREAM grand final.

[Shortytheyakker]

I have heard the bream grand final week will be a big one, have not checked dates but heard before teams,indiviuals and kayak Grand finals all in the Grand Final week.

It will be the biggest bream week in history of tournaments in this country,,:)

[nuzzy]

kinda makes it easier for the interstate guys who qualify for both the BREAM and Classics grand final as the final venues are only about 40 km apart.

[Mooza81]

Where can I find a copy of either this years or last years rules for the comps? They boys at work and I have been running our own comps with about 15 of us and we are running out of ideas for rules.
:o

[Dror]

Great idea having both grand finals in the same week. Means you don't need as much time off work, saves on accomodation costs if you don't need to wait a full week for the next final. Good move I reckon.
So happy that the Blackwood is on this year.

Cheers, Dror
