The weekend was a complete success with 50 participants taking part in a wonderful day of friendship and fishing.
The morning started with a beautiful south east zephyr. Excited anglers and anxious veterans mingled and partnerships where formed. St Georges Basin turned on a stunning morning with low wind and plenty of blue sky and high powered tournament boats roared away from the start for what would become a day that would be forged in many participants' memories.
All teams caught a swag of fish and by all reports everyone took something special away form the day. Notable mentions to Jim Harnwell and Sami Omari who fished with Jim Profitt MG for capturing the largest bag of Flathead, and Wal Balzan and Greg Stephinson who captured the largest Flathead for the competition – a beast at 87 cm!
