Although reports from the weekend have been a little sketchy, here is a quick report from Tom with all the info...
14 club members fished the event on 4 different boats, Reel Chase, Kekoa, Reel Lady and Fascination. The weather was very wet and windy with the thermometer only hitting 14 degrees on the second Saturday which was also
14 club members fished the event on 4 different boats, Reel Chase, Kekoa, Reel Lady and Fascination. The weather was very wet and windy with the thermometer only hitting 14 degrees on the second Saturday which was also
cancelled as with the first.
Congratulations to Peter, Leigh & Captain Luke from Kekoa who won the interstate
team prize and if they had been a NSW team would have won the overall Inter club Tag and Release. Both Peter and Leigh tagged 4 fish each during the Inter club comp. They also tagged 6 fish between them on one of the 2 day mid week comps, which they would have won except for the fact they couldn't get the required number of anglers for a team to qualify. The winning boat tagged 4.
Us aboard Reel Chase were the centre of attention on the second Saturday morning when big Phil tried to park his boat "Little Audrey" on top of us & as you can see from the hole in Little Audreys bow in the pic, our local boat building identity Alan Christian definitely built a strong boat, as we only got a bent bow rail.
Reel Chase did end up fishing on the last day but unfortunately in the wrong area, with 15 to 20 other boats who didn't get a bite.
The hospitality shown to us by the NSW teams combined with the size and professionalism of the event was great and enjoyed by all . Well over 200 boats competed and around 1200 anglers.

Love the new blog Talina, gives us something to do until the marlin turn up. Congrats to the O'Brien's for their interclub awards! Once again people need to know not to mess with Reel Chase.
