The cost will be $100 per boat. The main aim of this day would to try to generate interest in the club and perhaps attract old Drifters members back as well as new members. While the rules and framework is still being set, below are some idea’s that have been generated so far.</p><p>3 venues are being considered Cockburn, Mindarie & Point Peron</p><p>1. Winning boat to be decided by total boat weight divided by number of anglers. 2. Will NOT be held on club field day. 3. Drifter rules to apply. 4. Most probably held with in metro area to maximise turn out. 5. Only amateur boats – No licensed fisherman. </p><p>Please feedback both positive and negative comments about this would be appreciated. </p><p>Drift Anchors High quality large drift anchors are now available from Gavin Gleeson’s Waters Edge Motor Trimmers.</p><p>Break Sea Cod Frames Researchers require Break Sea Cod frames for scientific data collection.
