ARE YOU QUEENSLAND’S BEST ANGLER?
Do you think you might be the Sunshine State’s best fisherman or woman?
Or are you just a local who loves to throw in a line?
Either way, you should sign up to “Queensland’s Best Angler” – Australia’s first and only online fishing tournament.
With $600 to give-away every month, and with $11,500 in cash prizes overall, it is well worth your while.
“One of the great things about Queensland’s Best Angler is that you don’t actually have to be a brilliant angler to share in the prizes,” said Matt Palmer, the man who created the competition.
“It’s also good fun, with people swapping pictures and stories from across the state. We’ve got 700 members at the moment and they range from hard core fishing addicts to people who just enjoy being a part of it all,” Matt said.
Because it’s web-based, Queensland’s Best Angler lets people fish for what they want, where they want, when they want.
Participants can catch 11 species of common Queensland fish, ranging from Bream and Bass through to Sooty Grunter and Saratoga, and receive one point for every centimetre of length. Points are allocated based on photos sent to the site. All fish, of course, must be of legal length.
Mercury Marine is a proud sponsor, providing prize money for the top three places.
“It really is a great concept because it offers something for everyone – camaraderie, competition and cash,” said John Temple, General Manager of Mercury Australia, New Zealand and Pacific.
“And, unlike other competitions, you can participate anywhere.”
