Some good prizes there, and money goes to a good cause too.

A few things from the T&C :

3. The object of the Competition is Capture, Measure, Photograph and Release of fish.

11. Photographs must be of a live fish.

10. Only photographs of fish on Pirtek fish brag mats with competing angler number displayed are eligible for the Competition.

 

So looks like they are encouraging catch and release, which is great to see. You get a cap and a bragmat as well.

 

Though rule 28 says you can only use one hook or lure attached to the line. That would seem you cant use paternosters, or even snelled hooks? Not sure about gangs? I presume that jigs would fall under the lure category?

Always interested in someone to go fishing with
