HookUp lures theft, fines and fish
23.02.58
FISH might not be the only thing getting caught at The Observer Boyne Tannum HookUp starting on Friday (June10).
An increased police presence on local roads, waterways and at Bray Park, Boyne Island, could result in an unwanted fine or court appearance for those caught red-handed doing the wrong thing.
Over recent years an increase in opportunistic theft has been recorded around the hosting of the three-day fishing event.
Fishing equipment and portable items such as sounders fitted to boats have been some of the items stolen.
This year police are encouraging competitors and local residents to secure their fishing and navigational equipment plus any other valuables when not in use.

Fish Big Bear Charter Service acts as a pro staff guide for Tim
Bailey & Associates and does field testing of Rapala,
Luhr-Jensen and Flambeau products then reports how well the lures
work on Big Bear Lake trout. Tim Bailey & Associates donates
thousands of dollars worth of lures and tackle boxes to Fishing for
$50K.
“Without their support of products from Rapala, Luhr-Jensen and
Flambeau Fishing for $50K would not be possible,” said Curt Dills
of Fish Big Bear.
The Big Bear Lake Resort Association budgets more than $10,000 for
Fishing for $50K. The budget covers the insurance policy for the
prized tagged trout, staffing, marketing to television, radio and
print media, central reservations for lodging and boat rentals.
Member lodges, restaurants and shops provide discounts to the
participants and reap the rewards. Free entry is given to anyone
who books a boat rental or lodging through the RA.
