Longshore Marine No Bait Competition

If your are a follower of our MBGFC Facebook page you will have seen some of the snapper that have already  been weighed in this week. Young Casey Reidinger weighed in a beautiful 6.29 kg snapper  caught out of  the Glass Emporium grid.

Just a reminder – this  Longshore Marine No Bait Tournament runs for all of November so there’s plenty of opportunity to get out and get amongst it!

We would like to thank our sponsors - Longshore Marine, Black Magic Tackle, Catch Fishing, Hutchwilco, Ocean Angler, Shimano and So Dope.
