great white Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 I would like to say a huge well done to the Organisers, Sponsors and Anglers that all made yesterday a success. It is hard enough to run an Open without poor weather. To have to postpone 4 times, and persevere to get it sorted is a really great effort. Well done also to all that supported the event by fishing or helping with the jobs ashore. It was a tireing day scratching for fish, but at least the sun was out. CU next year ROB Look forward to seeing the results Well done Steve and the rest of the prize winners. Charlie and Crew Quote
biggcol Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Yeah well done and a big thank you to Rob and Charlie for all their hard work. Colin Quote

Matt Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 And well done to Rob in defying the weather gods at last! Quote
steve m Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 A big thanks to Rob and Charlie for there hard work. A big thanks to Dave (white magic) for taking me out a top skipper and the crew Jim and Kev. For me this turned into a very special day I will always remember and for the fishing all day was very slow with only 2 dog fish when the others seem to be catching something all day but on the way back Dave kept trying different marks and last stop in the harbour produced the superb ballan wrasse 6lb 12oz and the colours where amazing. 10 minutes from the end. But the best bit was seeing it swim of alive and of course Winning the top prize and receiving the cheque. I haven't stopped smiling yet :rolleyes.: But it only goes to show the last 2 years have been won by red gurnard and just shows that any one can win the comp. P.S. Any photo's from the weight in/prize giving would be great please. Regards Steve (Still smiling) Quote
pirky Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Congrats Steve .... what a Ballan that was !! Dave Quote
Stuie Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 A great fish and a great event - which seemed to run like clockwork. (I expect Rob & Co will know differently though.) Even the five times thawed curry & chilli tasted good. Can't wait for next year's event. Quote
alun j. Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Well done ROB & CHARLIE........ another great effort and smoothly handled event Quote
