Hi Kurt,
The best tip I can give (which is standard practice) is to shout every a beer at the pub at each event for the first year.

That's evil Mr Fields
What about the non boaters in the powered field,some of us have incite as well.
Or you hobie boys would not be there lol

[chrisf]

If you cannot crack it as a non-boater buy a Hobie hahahaha
but seriously yacks do have their place and what Steve and the crew have done should be applauded .

Being able to fish 9 event's in nsw and a couple in qld is the reason why I went the hobie option not the lack of skill's to be a non-boater or a boater for that matter.I may still do the main game as a non boater if time allows for the nsw round's.
Thank's for your incite.

Being a first timer as well this year I have a few question as well please.
1. Entry forms for the basin and Clyde rounds? - every link I click on says "not available"
2. Starting locations for the above two rounds and Burrill lake

Thanks
