Don't forget that is tip size, generally the comps are measured to the fork.

if that's the new rule then yes. they don't have different size limits for comps and then everyone else,

Dan I think you'll find the comp minimum is 26 fork whereas min legal size for fisheries purposes is 26 total length.

Based on that I wouldn'e be surprised if comp legal became 28 fork, now that will sort the men from the boys..... wont it Mummy

I thought i read somewhere that Vics size goes up 1st march 2010.

I must be mistaken maybe ?

i know what your saying, but a 28 to the fork is about a 31 overall. it;s going to make it even harder now.

Where's Bill for some clarification when you need him

Having 26cm Fork will still meet the regs as this is generally a 28cm+ fish anyways, but increasing the fork length to 28cm would make for interesting comps
