Ok we all know we can sail fast, but have you ever landed a fish on a sailboard? The next challenge is set. This fun day is about setting a new challenge.

Key is bringing the best board to land the big one. Location will be Dorins Road or the pond depending on the wind conditions. It's all about fun fun fun.....

Trust me if you get on to a good fish, it will set the heart racing.....
When Feburary 2nd Saturday 12 Feburary.

First prize for the largest landed fish on a sailboard is a new fishing rod and reel.

BBQ after to finish if Marlin is keen to bring his BBQ?? Please!!

Trophy as well.
Prize for the largest fish out of a boat as well on the day.

Sounds fun do we need to be a Windsurfing member to enter and do you have to be sailing at the same time when your fishing

No need to be a windsurfing Tas Member, it is a fun event.
Andy i think there a a few divisions, ( i.e motor boat class!) so i dont think you have to be sailing while catching the fish.

How do you fish from a Sailboard?


Russ

How often do you get in that front strap Russ

Did someone shove that rod up your ....... Russ
Be interested to know what you wind up when you actually catch a fish

Dont forget theres some rather large Rays in the lagoon, could get interesting!

Yer but it's at Dorans and they're even bigger there, as well as Mako sharks that beach themselves while chasing windsurfers (do you remember that rumor going around). I'll paddle around on my ski and make sure there's no cheats, unless it's blowing 30 knots.

I'm also a geek ######bump#####

I've teamed up with Morgan, should I give him a rod or use him as bait

Ant, you can use but not abuse!!

Damo, dont worry hes just baiting you

Morgan is a gun fisherman

And last years winner!!

Should be a fun family day.

Hello guys,
Morgan here,Im logged on in dads name.
Have a look at the monster flathead i caught at Lauderdale beach 3 weeks ago.
It was 47cm long and so heavy dad had to help me reel it in!!.
Hope we get some monsters like this in the contest.
ps i will have my own user name soon.
Thankyou and good night.

Wow, nice fish Morgan! You will be the one to beat in the contest for sure. Hope dad didn't freeze that fish thinking he can cheat and pretend he caught it when we have the comp!

Morgan this is a photo of the fish my dad caught and my dad's better looking than yours

.....bump....

Yes this is on,

Should be a blast

Prize for the largest fish, this is a fun day to see if we can catch a fish on a sailboard and other craft.

Next Saturday 10 am Dorans (Briefing by Morgan and Russ) at this stage but we will keep our eye on the wind and pick the best location closer to Saturday.

I've been in training, caught a few big flatties during the week. Looking forward to the comp. have been sharpening my hooks. may the best man/woman win!.
God Bless and Thankyou.
Good night to all!![}:)][}:)][}:)]

Hey Russ how about making this a State Title, could have 3 divisions, Dorans, Low Head and Hawley, then the person that gets the biggest fish is the State Champion

Being as you are the sponsor of this classic event you supply one rod as 1st prize in each division and you need to work out the prize for the state champion

Hey Russ you pathetic lanky moron........does that attract you attention
What about it...maybe forget all the prizes, maybe that put you off.

Anyone up north want to join in on the Russell Dowd Memorial Classic Fishing Competition this weekend..... should be some big supprises...well certainly a supprise if someone actually catches a fish

Are people still keen?

thats all people are talking about at the pond, even Artis is getting excited

Ok that's good I have two spinning rods with reels.
And a trophy for first prize as well.
Are we keen about the 10am start I could make it 11am?

It should be heaps of fun!!!!!

I'm excited

the morning then shifting northeast at 5 to 15 knots in the afternoon. Winds
tending west to northwest at 10 to 20 knots in the evening.

Gawd Russ didn't know you were starting so early, I can't make it till about 12.30
Just habit, never think of sailing before midday
I'm going to miss out....bugger

Dont forget to check cremorne if you plan on coming down to the comp.
Just went to Dorans and Cremorne. Cremorne looking better at the moment a light little breeze to get you moving but still nice and comfortable.
Dorans choppy and low tide.
I presume we will still meet at dorans to decisde at 10

Sorry Russ can't make it to the fishing comp, have to go to work.

10am dorins go from there

Come on Houston get up and get going
