Thanks to the generous donation of AKFF member BUFF we have a bunch of great lures to use as prizes in the FIRST EVER AKFF juniors fishing comp. Yay!
This comp is open to all AKFF junior members (or children of AKFF members) aged up to 16 years and we will have a boy and girl category.
Best fish at the end of the entry period as judged by BUFF will win a great selection of hard body and soft plastic lures, kindly donated by BUFF. The fish may be an estuary, freshwater or saltwater species. The 'best' fish may not necessarily be the biggest, and the judges decision is final.
To enter - please submit a photo of your / your childs fish in this thread along with the anglers name, age and some brief details on the fish and where it was caught. Entries will be accepted until the END OF MAY 2009. Fish must be caught from a kayak.
Davey, I have a few of the first original AKFF T shirts (now collectors items) left over from my initial run a couple of years ago. You are welcome to have them as prizes for this or other comps if you want.
There are only smalls left (which is still quite generous actually), as for some reason the bigger sizes (up to 4XXXX I might add :shock: ) were the most popular. Not quite sure what that says about yak fisho's, but either there are a lot of fat bastards here, or we just like oversized T shirts. ;-) :lol: :lol:
I can get them to you when I drop off the trolley if you want.
no i caught a 1.2 m flatty over easter but i cant enter it as it is to old grrr

just-just-just-just you never mind,
now-now-now that's all I'm going to say about the matter.
Hi guys im 14 years old and here is my fish. It was caught on a live mullet on 6kg line after an epic 15-20 minute battle, everything was done on my own successfully.
Just had a re-read and noticed I'm been dropped into judging the comp ;-)
The main thing I'll be looking for in the photos (as well as the other prerequisites) is "Does it look like you are having FUN"
Big smiles and happy faces to show off just how much fun Yak fishing really is will go a long way
So remember don't be put off if you see someone getting a bigger fish than you, just put on a bigger smile :lol: ;-)
