The Burdekin Boys are back - and Rodney Prescott gets top billing with this 17kg Cobia -

Rodney and his 17kg Cobia.

Nice one, Rodney! 

 

These guys are very competitive, so here is Darrell Hinschen of Cannonvale Marine with HIS 10kg Cobia -

Darrell is a big lad, this fish was bigger than it looks!

 

To be fair - here is the (majority of the) group with a couple of fine Spanish Mackerel:

The Burdekin Boys!

 

All that hard work out in the boats, plus the nightly socialising, takes its toll, so the guys had a little 'power nap' after lunch...

Sleeping Beauties!

Sorry guys! This shot was too good to miss! At least we can report that nobody was SNORING!

 

As usual, the Burdekin Boys held their Official Awards on the last night. Here are a few snaps of what is always a memorable event...

(Webmaster: Can you read Rodney's comment OK??? as he receives the Dummy Spit Award)     Terry show Bill how to plug every orifice in case of seasickness etc...     Darrell received one of many Toilet Roll Awards...    

Rodney (reluctantly) accepts the Dummy Spit Award from Terry..while Bill is shown how to plug every orifice!....Darrell gets a toilet roll...

Plozza got the Best New Anchor Design Award!     We missed this from laughing - someone's bum?!

Plozza scores the best New Anchor Design (though he couldn't find it - mainly cos the lads had hidden it!) while Terry demonstrates how offensive the view can be from someone caught short in the tinnies...

And just for the record - the Burdekin Boys have been coming to Sweers for over 20 years (yes, they helped to build the place!) and they said that "This year is the best fishing that they have ever seen..."
