I earned a spot on the USA Hobie team for the Hobie Worlds in Austrailia

Rob,

Congratulations on earning your position to compete with Team USA in the third annual Hobie Fishing Worlds Championship. Be prepared for the experience of a lifetime!  We have established a timeline of events so you may plan your travel accordingly. Please note that you must arrive in Melbourne, Australia on October 28, 2013 prior to 2pm. We will meet up for a team dinner and lodge in Melbourne that night. The following morning, participants will take the team van to the tournament location. Hobie will provide the shuttle for team travel for the event. The shuttle will depart Melbourne at 7am October 29th.

Be prepared for Australia’s feisty black bream… (a two to four pound wrecking ball that is the country’s top tournament species). Light gear with 6lb braid, and a 4lb fluorocarbon leader might just be the ticket needed to tame these pint-sized beasts!

All competitors will be competing from identically rigged Hobie Pro Anglers with Power Pole Micros, Lowrance Electronics and Ram mounting gear.
