It hasn’t been on for a few years. We used to send a fishraider team or 2 in days gone by. https://tbft.net.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the marlin comp? That's usually on at the end of February. https://www.nswgfa.com.au/tournament.php?2021-Garmin-Billfish-Shootout-Tournament-12 21 minutes ago, mrsswordfisherman said: Jeff is at football State comp (not fishing) Normally I get emails from the organiser of the TBFT and there has been nothing.

Scratchie Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The inter club marlin tournament is this weekend. The trailer boat tournament is on hold due to covid. I’ll message Tony Poole and try to find out what’s happening. The Comp I’m going to this weekend is State cup (unfortunately not fishing) chasing 3 talented kids around acres of paddocks for 3 days! cheers scratchie!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Just spoke to Tony, the owner of the tournament and it is on hold at the moment. He will advise me if it is going ahead this year. Watch this space 🤙 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to admit tournaments don't really interest me but I'm sure other FR's would be keen. Besides kind of have my heart set on hitting the snaps or kings around Broughton. Just wish I had a big enough boat to get there myself. One day............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve entered a few fishraider teams in the past. Just a great excuse to get together for the weekend and go fishing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smobaby Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Entries are open. Come and enjoy a fantastic weekend. Not sure how to post the link but if you google 2021 tbft you'll get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berleyguts Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 May 14-16. https://tbft.net.au Interesting... about that time (maybe the week after, hopefully?), Little Beach boat ramp will be closed for refurbishment for a few months. The “short cut” road to Soldiers Point ramp, Foreshore Drive at Corlette has subsided and will be closed indefinitely and the road between Tomaree Headland and the Shoal Bay ramp is apparently closed due to current weather events. I imagine major works may be required there, too. Wait and see, I guess. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smobaby Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 Yes totally understand Tony is a top bloke wish him all the best. Very disappointing for all the others that have booked accommodation and holidays for this occasion. Weather not looking the best anyhow but hopefully the fishing community will join together and have a great weekend for those that still turn up. Will miss the commadartery involved with this competition,It's a bit hard to cancel accommodation with such short notice. Will still have a great week away. Hopefully catch a fish or two and relax in a beautiful spot. Have a house on the waters edge at Corlette pull the boat up to the beach and enjoy.
