Before it all starts

Come down before the comp

Before the Two Bays Snapper Challenge gets underway, we're getting everyone together for a relaxed pre-fish meeting at BMYS.

We'll go through the competition rules, answer questions, give away some prizes and have a few drinks and nibbles with competitors, sponsors and other fishos.

It's completely free and completely optional. You don't have to attend to compete — but if you're around, we'd love to see you there.

You do not have to attend

The pre-fish meeting is completely optional. Competitors do not have to attend the meeting to fish the Two Bays Snapper Challenge.

A few days before the night Reedy will put a post up on Facebook asking who’s coming. If you see it, it’d be a big help to let us know either way so we’ve got rough numbers. If you miss it, come down anyway.

On the night

What's happening

A rules run-through, a feed, a few prizes and a chance to meet the people you'll be fishing against.

Free door prizes

Gear to give away

Everyone attending goes in the draw for prizes on the night.

No cost to attend and no cost to enter the door prizes.

Rules Q&A

Ask before you fish

Brett and David will go through the major rules of the Two Bays Snapper Challenge and answer questions from competitors.

If there's anything you're unsure about, this is the spot to ask before the comp begins.

Food and drinks

Grab a feed

Come down, have a drink, grab something to eat and catch up with other fishos before the comp.

Meet other competitors

A social night

Meet other anglers, teams, fishing clubs, sponsors and the people involved with the Two Bays Snapper Challenge.

Sponsors welcome

Bring the business

Sponsors and businesses involved with the comp are encouraged to come down too.

It's a good chance to meet competitors and the people behind the event.

Pre-comp rev-up

Get fired up

Toward the end of the night we're planning a short pre-competition rev-up talk.

Possum will help fire everyone up for the comp, with Dale Carpenter also possibly joining us.

Rules night

Got a question about the comp?

Brett and David will take everyone through the important Two Bays Snapper Challenge rules and answer questions from competitors.

Whether it's fish verification, photos, videos, daily codes, team rules, club rules or anything else you're unsure about, come down and ask before the competition starts.

More than a meeting

More than just a rules meeting

The night is also about getting everyone together.

Have a beer or a drink, grab something to eat, meet other competitors and catch up with the people and businesses supporting the Two Bays Snapper Challenge.

Whether you're fishing solo, with a team, representing a club, sponsoring the event or just involved in the fishing community, you're welcome to come down.

Never been to BMYS?

I filmed this during a Lord of the Snapper comp. Skip through it and you'll get a look at the club and the facilities — the room where the talk's being held is at the end.
