Well done Bren on the 83cm. Knew I peaked to soon :twisted: :lol: Think it was to calm for alot to turn up not just bass. Like the promise of codling. Who was on about that again :oops: Myself and Kev had a terrible time at the end pegs with a ledge that took rigs, weights and hooks every other cast. Still good fun with a highlight of mine getting a lefty flounder. Forgot to take a pic though!

really enjoyed this comp some mix of species, 2 huss in three casts on the east coast has to be my highlight of the year. albys double smoothy put every one 160 points behind in one cast and they played an important role in the placings, pity i couldnt get one :cry:
species for 2009 (42)
species for 2010 (27)
species for 2011 (12)
species for 2012 (8)
[i][b][color=#0000BF] best advice for catching species is girls dont like fishing and its hard to catch fish when you sell all your gear'[/color][/b][/i]
