Hope everything goes well for you Matt & Best of luck to all those competing . Would have liked to be there rather than heading down to Sydney - that's for sure

Good luck on the Weekend Matt. you have put heaps of effort in, and its good to see a steady roll up of teams. Hopefully plenty more come out closer to the night.

Weather is overcast and drizzle at the moment.....but I like that. Most important its not cold. From what I hear, speaking to a few travellers yesterday, there is a few fish being caught. Things have been improving daily for the last week for one crew. I think they mangaged 2-3 fish per day over past 2 days of trip, but had plenty more hits etc the further the week went on. Should be a quiet week on the water (no holidays etc)...so things are looking up.

Unfortunatly I have a wedding on the sunny coast Sat night, but I will catch up for a coldie at the briefing Fri night!!

Cheers Steve

Chris

[BR65]

well done boys, keep it going!

Was Pete playing net man for Kyle AGAIN, or did he stop making sangers and get on the fish as well? ;D

[Whitto]

Gee's Pete don't stop making sangers some one has to keep Kyles strength up.

[BR65]

have you seen the size of Kyle , Whitto? He is a strapping young fella, reckon he would eat Pete out of the house.

[darylive]

Congratulations to Kath and Kim Noice.

Snuggled into a cabin with all the mod cons and cleaning up the comp.

[NAGG]

not sure at this stage ..... being a teams event , probably doesn't matter :P I'll try to find out more after lunch .... should have the final results.

Chris

btw - 7 landed yesterday & as many lost :P Only 5 teams (19 in total ) had landed fish ........ so the boys are doing well

[PaulMark]

Well done to Pete and Kyle,hope they get the result they deserve.Thats a damn good effort 7 fish.Just goes to show time on the water does make the difference.
Thanks for the update Chris.
Paulo

[Pete62]

I spoke to Pete yesterday arvo and in his words "Best day eva" they found the honey hole with a wide variety of size fish actively feeding, as reported 7 boated and plenty of bust ups on big fish.

Can only imagine how keen they would have been this morning.

Way to go lads.

Pete.

[leelee]

Thats great news. Well done guys.

Thats shines a bright light on my trip for next weekend thats for sure.

Cheers
