Broadwater Fishing Tournament

[mrsswordfisherman]

Swordie, Lucinda and I travelled up to sunny Qld to enjoy the festivities at Couran Point on Sth Stradbroke Island.

Fishraider sponsored the Junior Flathead prize and we were hoping for the winner to be a keen young angler and we were not disappointed.

Lolling around the pool the day before, 2 young chaps started up a conversation. It was clear that they were hoping for some great fishing in the tournament the next day.

About 10am on tournament day, news of a junior weighing in a flathead came through and we raced to the weigh-in station to see that it was indeed the crew of 2 boys Liam, Logan and dad Dan that we had talked to the day before

After a quick interview and some pics they went off to try their luck again.

At 4pm the presentation took place. There were plenty of prizes on offer and as luck would have it Logan picked up the fishraider prize for a great flathead around 50cms

Thanks to manager David Bradley and his staff that worked tirelessly to make the event a huge success. The Couran Point resort is very pleasant and the accommodation and surroundings are very comfortable. A great family holiday can be had there and we recommend it to all.

Here are a few snaps of Logan, Liam, Dan and the resort. A short interview with the boys regarding the capture can be viewed here

What a pleasure to meet two young and enthusiastic anglers like Liam and Logan

Liam is now our newest member and Logan will hopefully follow as well.

Logan's father Dan was a very good angler in his own right and lost a great fish at the boat due to a worn leader(bad luck there Dan).

The whole family are very close and enjoy their angling and young guys such as these will ensure that our fishing future remains in very competent hands.

Great report Donna.

Your crew had some awesome weather for the weekend.

How good is it to see such keen young anglers take out the Fishraider junior prize!

Thanks for doing the hard yards & flying the Raider flag.

Cheers,

It was a great day and the young blokes deserved their prize. Great to see them catch such a good fish and win their section in among so many other junior anglers.

Cheers, Slinky
