Nice lure Blinky
Rossco won the lure comp in the Darwin Show first time it was up,
(You'll remember him from Katherine) Nicho got second prize last year, I'm entering the Show again this year, nominations close this Friday I encourage all to enter online at Royal Darwin Show etc. Entries are delivered in July, you can post but happy to deliver for you, pm me, I did this for Nicho last year. They have a fly category too, I won first prize last year and second prize the year before, don't ask me how entries there were
Cheers Steve

Just wanted to say, that it was me who suggested they have a catergory for lure makers at the show, about 3 or 4 years ago, from memory. I had just started making lures, and my daughter was playing with a kid from the art exahibition room. I got talking with the kids mum, and suggested they introduce a lure making comp, and the next year.....there it is!
Might enter next year myself.

Cheers Dave.

Went to the show for the first time in over 20yrs., just to check-out the lure entries. Very nice display of ten lures, but disappointingly the show organizers didn't indicate whose lures were whose, on the accompanying cards. Couldn't work out which lures had won a prize certificate, all beaut efforts though.
The fly section was won by Steve Bowker (SteveB on LL), well done for a nice little fly Steve.
Reason I could work that one out was, only fly I could see in the cabinet LOL.
Seaweed.
