Update for Ningaloo game fishing camp out 2020 

My apologies for the delay in setting dates. Most of you will know about the changes happening up there and now the station is run by Parks and wildlife. So I have to put an application in to hold the comp there and I’m currently awaiting their reply.
Also to my surprise, My job has just been changed and is all up in the air with no set roster, so I also need to wait for my job certainty so that I can set dates and not change them.
Sorry if this inconveniences anyone but my hands are tied atm and I’m doing my best to try and get it all sorted ASAP. The Comp could be run anywhere between May to August, I’ll try give 3-4 months notice of the dates. Cheers and hope to see you all up at Ningaloo soon

Ningaloo 2016 results

This years Ningaloo game fishing campout was the 4th year of the annual event and again was a complete success. This year hosted 58 competitors in 21 boats and 5 kayaks. Everyone was impressed with the yakfishwest team who peddled their kayaks on 25km round trips to fish in over 70m everyday, they were rewarded with plenty of Spanish mackerel and spangled emperor. Harley Kemp had a great year boating a massive 20kg ruby and the biggest red to take out 2 trophies. Damian D’Mello could do know wrong taking out 2 trophies on his kayak and was also taken out by Shane Bowman on the average angler boat to catch a big trophy winning black Marlin only 1 minute before the registration cut off. Louis Wakelin from South Australia from Team “All barred up” took out the best overall catch with a black Marlin that was 2.5 long, Luke Hamon the skipper of “All barred up” had a 6 hour battle with a 200kg plus black on 24kg just the day before the comp and had some crazy photos when he jumped in the water to pose with his capture of lifetime. This fish was the biggest by far seen by anyone over the years around the comp. Team getaway took out the most trophies with the most tagged billfish, best junior, biggest sailfish and best overall team.
