DO YOU NEED A BOAT NAME TO REGISTER? IS BRAND OF BOAT ACCEPTABLE.
Gday there , I have fished a few TBFT's and was lucky enough to get to Hakula Lodge in Tonga last year through being in the comp. I will be up there again this year and have a suggestion that may save organisers and participants alot of time and effort. My idea is that the TBFT nominate a mobile phone number which would be manned by someone around the weigh master or tally board so that when an angler is out fishing and they catch a fish that they think may be worth weighing they give the mobile a quick call to see what has been weighed for that species to determine whether it is worthwhile to get back to weigh it or not. You could just get a prepaid phone card whack it in an phone and it could take anglers enquiries at no cost to the TBFT. The phone number could be included in the boat bag given out. This would save alot of fish being brought in to be weighed when there are already weighed fish in the top three places for that species so it would be a waste of everyone's time in getting them in to be weighed and the less fish having to be weighed for no result would make life easier for the guys on the scales as well. It also might see a few more fish released as well as not everyone has an adequate way of keeping them alive. This idea dawned on me a few comps ago when we had a semi decent flatty and made a long run to weigh it only to find out it was a long way from the mark to make an impression on the board. If we could've given someone a quick call to get an update of what flattys had been weighed would have seen the fish released, we wouldve had more fishing time and the TBFT staff wouldnt have to bother weighing extra fish.

Hi Tony Grabbed a copy of the Port Stephens Marine Park Zoning Plan and it states that you require a permit for competition fishing. Can you please advise if this is required and how much it will cost if required. Thanks Also we entered via the net do we get any other comfirmation from you guys or just the email we received once we paid via credit card. Order Number 503 Thanks
Hi, just wondering why bream have to be weighed in alive, i feel it makes it difficult for those of us that are fishing the other side of the bay in tinnies, most of us don't have the facilities in our boats to do that and also time restraints as the weigh in is closed at 6pm and in bad weather it can take over 1 hour if we can get across at all. maybe i can suggest a weigh station in tea gardens or atleast a board so we don't have any unwanted fish kills. thanking you Aaron
How do I add on extra entries if I've already paid my fee?
i have just entered a extra fisherman to my husbands boat but it did not ask me to add the fishermans details have i missed a step all it asked me for is cardholders details and boat and skipper details ORDER NUMBER 617 thanks hope
i have paid and filled out the application that is needed for the tournament but when filling out the question for the second entrant i didnt put the details in correctly i have put the first and second entrant as the same person and i need to fix it how do i do this i clicked on the link to go back and change details but it would not allow me to do this so im unsure if all details have gone through.
I was in the 2006 or 2005 comp and i caught a 17 kilo mulloway and you guys took photo's and i haven't seen them yet i was wondering if you are going to put them up?
Is it true that you are asking $130.per senior in the 2009 comp.Why ???.With rising mortages,petrol and food dont you think it will make it hard for competitors to participate in what i think is a great compition.
Is there mooring spaces available?
More on the Marine Park. Looking at the map the habitat protection zone outside the heads is a no go zone for anything but trolling however the brochure says its ok for rec fishing in competition. What way do you go? Ian Pandelis

Tony, Just a quick note to give a big thanks to you and the organisers of the tournament on a job well done. Once again it was a pleasure to attend and fish. You have excelled yourselves again. Many thanks and will see you 2010. Team Reel Easy.
Tony, we had some photos taken on the saturday of the 2009 trailer boat tournament and we were told that we could purchase a cd of the tournament photos. just wondering how we could buy a copy of the disc as we couldnt get one on the sunday. Thanks sharon
Tony. My son Joel (5 old) had his picture taken with a flathead on the Friday of last comp by a female organiser. I understand that there was most likely hundreds taken but was wondering how I might go about obtaining a copy? If it helps we fished from REEL EASY and the lady taking the photo took down these details. May I take the opportunity to thank you and everyone helping in organising this event. My family absolutely love it and are looking forward to many more.
Unsure what size shirt I want, can we by merchandise onsite at the comp.
When checking in at official tent, can one angler register for all the crew, or does each crew member have to register themselves?
When entering online how do I nominate each fishermans name and the name of the boat?
