Absolutely join-no better place to learn from fishing with others that enjoy doing the same thing u do,can't speak highly enough of tournament fishing by be aware that it is very addictive once u start

[welshy22]

haha thanks mate! yeah i am ready to catch the tournament desease :p

As a non boater you are only fishing against the other non boaters and both the boaters and non boaters are just regular guys that like tournament fishing. Give it a go, its a great way to meet other breamers, learn from your boaters, maybe even teach the boaters something too. 2011 was my first year of ABT and I got 2 10th places out of 3 events so if I can do it anyone can :)

Hey,

Give it a go, you'll find most Boaters are good blokes and its a good couple of days on the water and a chance to share info.

From there you can start looking at some of the teams events which are also good fun.

Cheers,

thanks for the info guys!

It seems I was your "lucky charm"...hahaha :cool:

Give the ABT a go, $50 to join up, $100 to enter a comp and if you don't like it (i'm sure you will) you havent lost a great deal of money or time. The stuff you get in the membership pack will probaly equal more than $50 anyway, plus the 10% tackle discount.

It's interesting to be able to watch other guys/girls go about fishing - not just the technique's but boat set up, time management and mental attitude ect. I've fished in only a handful of comps but have fished with guys at the very top of the breamin' game to guys that have a more social view to the comps and I've learnt something from them all.

Give it a go - what do you have to lose?

Do it for the
Money ,Fame and Groupies !!

Hi all, does anyone know when we should be receiving membership packs? I've noticed the tournament guide is out in newsagents, but I still haven't recieved anything. Cheers, Ryan

Depends when you payed for your membership mate. Most would have recieved them by now. I recieved my renewal reminder over a month ago. Just contact abt and ask them whats happening, they should sort it out for you.

How old do you need to be to enter?

[Rayman]

How old do you need to be to enter?
For people old enough to look up the rules themselves haha.
And so not to seem anymore of a jerk, 16 years.
:D

If your wanting to enter your best bet now for the VIC ABT event would be to find a boater and have them put you as their guaranteed NB.
