Gold Coast Garmin Blue Marlin Classic

Gold Coast Garmin Blue Marlin Classic

What a weekend we had at the Garmin Blue Marlin Classic 2019 – great venue, awesome weather and good numbers of Marlin. We would like to thank each and everyone of you for participating in our event and making it the tournament it was.

No matter how much we plan and organise its your enthusiasm to go fishing and your efforts to get your crew and boats along that really make our event, so a huge thank you  on behalf of the committee.

May I personally thank you all for the effort to get your entry forms in prior to the day,  it was much appreciated and assisted greatly to have everything ready for you on registration night. Also I would like to make mention of your attention to paper work and making it to the weigh station on time – you all really trumped that this tournament!!!

It was great to see many other family and friends join in over the weekend and WOW,  what an attendance at our Presentation.

Look forward to seeing you all along at our next tournament – Shimano Shootout October 11 -13th 2019.
