We hope everyone is having a successful Fishfest!!

The next step will be to bring the photos of your catches and present them to us in the Backyard at Panthers between 12pm-2pm today

Note that you must be in the line prior to 2pm in order for us to accept your catches

You can only enter 1 photo per species so please have your photos organised so as not to hold up the line

Remember each competitor can only win one merit prize (Most Species, Longest of Species)

Everyone who has entered a fish will also have a chance to win the Mystery Fish prize of $1,000 (even if they have won a merit prize) and everyone who has qualified will be able to win our Early Entry and Online Entry draws

In relation to our participation prizes each competitor will only be able to win one of these, if your name gets drawn out a second time there will be a redraw

The presentation will be held in the Backyard from 5pm - You must be present in order to claim any prizes, aside from the raffle where winners who are not present will be contacted to organise collection of your prize

Make sure you check out the great raffle prizes and grab some tickets and we still have a limited range of the Fishfest Shirts which will be available to purchase
