Fishing Victoria Forum

I've considered joining a club up the road, mainly for the reason of participating in some competitions for a bit of fun.

I don't see a lot of fishing comp's being run online... but then again I am really only a member on here and some of the Facebook groups.

Has FISHVIC ever tried running some non-serious comps?

Plenty of comps online mate.
as for fv theres been a few here and there, the species comp is probably the most busiest one, how serious you take it is entierly up to you.

There are alot of comps online. Ones across Australia where you need to send in pics of your fish. On a brag mat, with the date on a card and your special ID number. I have entered one before and won a $250 daiwa voucher. Its alot of fun.

Yeah I've seen some that have been run - I guess more what I am getting at it heading out fishing with a group of mates for a fun, non serious comp where we can talk a bit of **** as opposed to joining a 100 + boats in a serious comp (which is a different kind of fun)

Im sure we can organise something like that.like a fun day out bring your own boat and have someone as a decky from the forums join you etc.

most likely salmon, squid and pinkies only available this time of the year in good numbers.

I'd be keen - even with a buy in fee so there is something on offer at the end of the day!

with Tea Tree off the menu I'll probably fish the big sandy desert instead of the muddy pond and do the Hobsons Bay Snapper Comp - I remember doing it back in 2011 when it was on a different W/E to TT

being now run the same W/E ( cup day W/E ) that might get me my fix chasing red fish on cup day W/E
