How the comp works

• Anglers can commence fishing at 7.00am local time in their State/Territory on Saturday, 20 February 2021 and cease fishing at 5.00pm local time in their State/Territory on Sunday, 21 February 2021.
• No Lines in water prior to the official start time (State/Territory of the competitor) Saturday, 20 February 2021 and all lines out of the water at the official finish time (State/Territory of the competitor) on Sunday, 21 February 2021.
• When you catch your target species simply lay the live fish with the nose in line with the “0” (zero) measurement on your brag mat.
• Photograph the fish so the entire length can be seen in the photograph along with your entry number.
• Only a fish caught by the registered angler can be entered.
• Any photograph that shows a fish not alive or damaged will not be accepted.
• Any photograph which has undergone digital manipulation will be disqualified.
• Follow the directions on the website to upload your photograph.
• All entries to be uploaded by 7.00pm (State/Territory of the competitor) Sunday 21st February 2021.

MEASURING SYSTEM

For all fish, take a photo on a brag matt with your phone or camera with your 2021 registration number clearly visible and then release the fish immediately at the place of capture.

Send photo to Chief Marshal 0474 343 732 to have your photo recorded and you will receive a message in return, please include the fish species.

Please refer to illustration below. Photos must be clear and include the whole fish. Photo must include your registration number. Catch must be returned to the water immediately as it is illegal to keep or hold a Murray Cod over 75cm in your live well or keep net.

The Deniliquin RSL Fishing Classic is a Catch & Release Event.
