Haha nice Rex. Yeah challenging conditions. If only it was a day earlier eh?. Im still picking sand outa the back of my eye balls. The sea was mint saturday morning and early saturday avo. The anticipation was rife. But as start time arrived a very nasty squally westerly change impeded the smooth clean water and small swell, and turned it to a wind swept cauldron pf murk and mush. The first hour or two was when most of the weighable fin fish were caught, then dark encroached and so did the dreaded red tide of 30 to 35cm REDSODS. Every bait another sod. Fielding did turn up early, they pumped a tone or red sh!ts in the tide and buggered of too cleaner tides. Smoothounds were about as the tide bottomed out with every cray and crab bait getting taken by them, it was a matter of weeding threw the small ones, even if some sawn off punk didn't think they measured up(they did). Any how a good event as always, and great to see a good enthusiastic turnout from Gisborne. Well done guys for winning the log of wood. Looking forward to seeing you again at the Nationals, im sure well bump in to one another before then. Special thanks to Jim and Trish and James for a well run weighin and a record ultrafast tally up result. Cheers
