Most people like fishing just for the thrill, but if you're like me and actually want to bring a prize catch home, then the Mitsubishi Motors .

The fishing 'tournament' will be held at Rainbow Beach, a hotspot for fishing activities and not surprisingly, the best venue for such a competition. This event, which runs over a full-on eight days, is a competition for those who are fishing enthusiasts. Besides from catching a fish, there are heaps of prizes and goodies to be won, including fishing gear, electronics, Eskys, apparel, and of course, cash. To celebrate the 25th anniversary, the first prize this year is a Signature 485SF Dunbier Trailer. Runners-up and those who catch the heaviest fish will be awarded prizes, as well as prizes for kids, veterans, and even prizes for just being at the event. This is one fishing trip not to be missed.

All you have to do to enter the Mitsubishi Motors is to fill in a simple entry form , which can be obtained from the Rainbow Beach Sports Club website. For competition purposes, competitors over 18 years of age are required to be members of the Rainbow Beach Sports Club . A low membership fee of $15 is to be paid to the club. Those under 18 years of age need to have a parent or guardian (who is a member of the Rainbow Beach Sports Club) represent them. Entry fees for adults and/or children are mentioned on the fishing competition entry form; please see the website for specific details. Receipts will be mailed out once forms are submitted and entry fees are paid; your membership and fishing cards will be available for pick-up from 4pm on the first day of the event. (If for any reason you can't make it for the event, a refund can be obtained from the club once an application is submitted).

So how do you receive a prize, I hear you say. Well, there are over 10 categories that competitors can compete in, which come under three main themes: Beach Fish (which include flathead, bream, dart whiting and tailor; Reef Fish (which include snapper, red emperor, pearl perch, parrot and sweet lip); and Big Fish (which include any fish over 8kg). Please note that you do not have to fish the whole eight days, or even fish for that matter, to have a shot at winning prizes, so don't let this keep you from attending the Mitsubishi Motors .

During the event, there will be two major 'special' days, including Veterans Day and Ladies Day. Veterans Day will be held on the Tuesday the 26th, but you must be over the age of 60 to have a shot at winning the special prizes on offer. Ladies Day, on the other hand, has no age limit, and will have a chance to win the first and second prizes, just like the Veterans. Food and drink will be available as well.

So take your family and head to the Mitsubishi Motors for a chance to win some great prizes and have a good fishing experience as well.
