Secret Women’s Business Barra Challenge celebrates 8th year

THE Trafficwerx NT Secret Women’s Business Barra Challenge, fondly referred to as SWB, is on again in 2014.

The annual all women fishing tournament, now in its 8th year, is being held at the picturesque Corroboree Billabong, Northern Territory on September 19 and 20. 

The event has attracted over 150 competitors and will see the ladies vying for Champion Team, Champion Runner-Up Team, Champion Angler and Reidy’s Biggest Barra. With over $33,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, these are titles worth fighting for!

However, it’s not all about fishing. Off the water there will be entertainment and activities and prizes for Best Dressed Boat, Best Dressed Team and Best Expression of Interest. With SWB, there is something for everyone.

SWB is nationally recognised tournament attracting interstate competitors and sponsors. Women of all skills levels gather at Corroboree to catch up with friends, make new ones, have fun and do some serious fishing. This year the catch and release tournament has attained a 5 star NEATFish accreditation, up from last year’s 4.5 star accreditation.

Tournament organisers Chrissie Hurren and Kristen Noble are committed to preserving the environment and keeping the fisheries healthy and strong. All barramundi caught during the tournament are tagged before release to assist NT Fisheries with their research.

Chrissie Hurren says the SWB Barra Challenge “is all about fishing, friendships and fun”.
