No worries Paul, your fish was caught during the comp period of 6-15 April, so totally eligible and not too late. I always leave at least a week after the comp period ends for people to get their entries in prior to scoring.

Anyway, this is a good opportunity to remind everyone that any entry in the Pirtek challenge would also be a perfect entry for the AKFF monthly comp, since the 15th falls inside the comp period this month - and it would also be very convenient as you will already have a photo of your catch on a bragmat!!

Just finished scoring up the April entries - it was another good month for kayak fishing with more than half the fish submitted scoring the magical 100 points or more. It was also terrific to see 5 new entrants in April - indeed, the highest scoring fish was snaffled by Daveyak in his first entry of the year - congrats Dave that is one of the biggest Aussie salmon I've ever seen

Here are all the scores for April:

Daveyak 168
Float 127
paulthetaffy 127
Drewboy 118
Junglefisher 117

Bertros 94
Yakatak 89
paulB 88
Grinner 84
cheaterparts 81
Billpatt 75
gcfisho 64
Patwah 63


And cumultive scores for the year to date - Float has stretched his lead at the top, but just like the huntsman in your bedroom, last year's winner Solatree is ominously creeping upwards:

The randomly drawn prize winner for April has been selected..........and it's congratulations to Killer - please send me a PM and we'll sort out a prize for you.

Get out the diaries folks, next month's comp will run from the 5th-13th of May

Thank you, I'm somewhat surprised after seeing what I was up against. I was impressed with Craig's cod (even more so by the one that missed the comp) and the big tuna. There are quite a few bigger salmon around at the moment, I've seen 'em and would like to get one over the 90cm mark (man's gotta dream...).

Thanks for the comp & the work you put in Squidder.
