in such challenging conditions.
Brian also sighed with relief as he 
didn’t catch anything the year before 
during the competition. Several 
minutes later and Ali Hammond, 
another local turned up to join us 
and I soon landed a kahawai that 
looked about 1.5kg, but I thought 
might be too small to make the 
prizes, but we tagged it just in case.
We had a few other soft bites, but 
the hook didn’t stick and the fish 
seemed to be a bit slow on the bite 
today.  On my next cast and a heavy 
fish slowly took the bait and then 
line at a steady rate of speed, after 
a good fight and I landed a 15kg+ 
eagle ray which was released.
Back at the weigh in at 3:30pm 
and the boys watched on as they 
weighed Matt’s lone kahawai.
The final line up of winning 
fish await the prize giving for 
trevally, snapper and kahawai.
