Prizes and Fish Category presentations will be at the weigh-in station after the weigh-ins, each afternoon. Daily prizes not collected by 9:00pm Sunday night will be posted out to the winners as soon as manageable. No more than one trophy will be awarded in respect of any one fish category caught. If a fish category weigh is a tie, the prize will be awarded to the first recorded entrant. The maximum daily Fish Category wins per competitor is one per day and one final Category win for the Fish Category Trophy. If the competitor is leading in two separate categories, the competitor will be awarded on the first fish weighed in. There will be a Junior and Senior boat drawn on the last night for all weigh-ins regardless of biggest fish weighed in.

On each Prize Draw the entrant possessing the number announced must present themselves to the announcer with their 2018 Electronic Ticket within two minutes of that prize being announced. All major prize winners will also require formal identification upon presenting themselves to the announcer. All major junior prize winners will be accompanied by a parent or carer with formal identification to confirm winner’s identification. Once a prize has been claimed or a redraw announced that number will be returned to the barrel and another draw will occur immediately.

NOTE: All prize draw winners for the Promotional Draws must present themselves to claim their prize within 2 minutes of their name being announced.

The aim of the competition is to promote and reward family fishing activity. Prize is $1000.

Eligible contestants must be registered in the Boyne Tannum HookUp and are limited to one (1) entry per family.

A family consists of at least one (1) parent and any of their children that are registered for the junior category.

To be eligible a family must catch the ‘estuary trifecta’ of one (1) whiting, one (1) bream and one (1) flathead during the HookUp weekend, and weigh them in for the live fish category. To enter, the family must fill in the ‘Family Trifecta’ form available from the HookUp fish weigh-in stations. The entry form can only be completed once the three (3) fish species have registered and passed the 30 minute live fish qualifying time.

The catch must be shared between junior and senior contestants in the family, with no more than two (2) species to be registered under one (1) family member’s name.

Entries close 45 minutes after the live fish category cut off on Sunday.

The winning entry will be drawn randomly from the eligible families in the entry box and then checked that it is valid before it is announced to the public.

It is the family’s responsibility to fill out and submit their own entry. It is not an automatic result of weighing in live fish. To qualify, you must list the fish and corresponding name and entry number on the entry form at the live weigh-
in station, and fulfil all of the criteria.
