Report:
This was our opening junior comp, to get the ball rolling for our 2009 season for the juniors,,
we arrive at the mark with high hopes for a few fish, the first hour was a bit sketchy with alisha kavanagh catching the only fish, but then we had a few fish coming in on all sides, with lishas lead dwindling away with evan ivory bringing in a double whiting and codling, soon to have dj reilly following close with a nice whiting,,,then evan,s sister aliza ivory started her fish count with a whiting, things started to get closer from then on with 3 of the kids on four fish and poor jacks only fish dropping of half way up the wall. with some nice fish coming in , flounder to 34 and codling to 28, a few whiting over the 25 mark, and a 4 bearded rockling 25 to dj reilly, lisha was the first to reach the 5 fish mark then evan followed very soon, but unfortunately just couldn catch lisha,s over all fish lenght, with lisha taking first place and evan second and dj taking third place,

thanks to all who participated it was a great day out and great to see the juniors enjoying them selfs, thanks to wayne for bringing the stakes so we could fence of the harbour for safety,

I've said it once & I'll say it again, Leisha must get her angling skills from her mother
