Sounds like a perfect plan! Better check with the large stone and make sure he is happy with ET becoming a gurnard machine for the day!!

Don't expect a Gurnard Guru comp we're just testing the waters. A good one this year will perhaps see a bigger effort next year.
 
Neil, if it gets 50 anglers I'll be happy, if it gets a hundred, well the prizes will be better not that they wont be goodies anyway. 
 
It's a CSFC event and those of us running the event will be well known to the regulars here and about Wink.
 
With a fail like that Derek - taking the boss' name in vain you may find yourself the 'Celebrity Chef' on the end of a BBQ scraper - I can easily alter the flyer Clown.
 
As far as advice on where to fish I think you'll be best following Skoti and his mate Gerald around. What size hook were you trailing behind that Lion Red lure to score that fish??
 
Be good to see some of the fishing.net crowd there, mind you we're everywhere these days eh!Thumbs Up
 
Billy, I know you will appear ar one of oour comps one day, man you so have to fish the One Base some time. Good opportunity to check us out.
 
ET in the muddy, didn't you fish the One Base from ET Boulder? If you consider a name change to Enki Dropa Rig then you and Raging Bull may have a show.
 
Lethal, show us some mad gurnard catching skills!
 
Anyways me and the other fulla going to finalise the rules (there wont be many) this weekend at some other fullas place while we drink beers and gaze out over the whitecaps, then we'll kick this off proper like.
 
Grunta, catch up we will, couple of ideas I'd like to talk about re the site and of course we'll talk dirty about gurnard.
 
ps a mate of Gruntas and a real top bloke and fisherman, told me of a boat named Gurnard Fkr, really made me laugh and would have been a great name for this comp.

It is time to raise the interest levels in this one. Tickets are for sale for this inaugural event at DKM Fishing & Marine in Waiuku. If it is a problem getting there, tickets are also available on the day at Te Toro. Just remember to be back at Te Toro and in the weigh in queue by 4.00pm. Beer is BYO. BBQ is free. We have a great covered in facility the same venue as our One Base & Ice Breaker comps.

Gurnard fishing has been either really good or rather hard. My fellow gurnardophile John Moran and I fished hard from dark til dark for a measly 8 fish each last Saturday, still a good feed, but this time last year we had our limit in only a couple of hours. John gets out a lot and has had some awesome catches recently. My son Matthew and I only caught 4 on Sunday but three were big fellas.
 
John and I are running this thing and thewre is a reasonable amount of interest locally, be great to see a good show of fishing.netters, if it's a goody we'll ramp it up next year.
