2018 TOURNAMENT OFFICIAL RESULTS
In total there were 46 nominated anglers including 7 juniors, 13 ladies and 13 visiting anglers.
I have to admit that in the days leading up to the tournament, I was worried sick as to whether any fish would be caught with the water quality looking like the worst we have seen here at this time of year, but the results are a testament to the resilience of our fishery with a total of 40 bites, 30 hookups and 20 fish tagged – 4 black marlin and 16 sailfish among 9 boats.
Wheelie bin green was the official colour of the water facing the competition and it was great to hear of some boats still getting 4 or 5 shots a day in the conditions.
