Wishin crew had no practice just a basic plan that didn't work for ages, I think our first fish was about 9.50 and a doggy.Crew fished hard and done loads better than me.Its still early and the big tide made it interesting to say the least,also my anchoring hindered our species count.The weed was bad in the harbour and training bank but we slowly picked up fish but felt frustrated most of the day.We had a few laughs especially when Dogfish Dave went flying from sitting on his box on top of the engine box when drifting.He went crashing to the deck and dropped his Tubertini over the side but Chris was quick as a flash caught it with his rod tip,bet Daves got a few bruises today.We all caught starfish and we could see the bites!!!Also Chris caught a big lobster.......never seen Dave move so fast to get the net but she was full of eggs so went back.
We were all knackered and I was disappointed with my anchoring etc but it is a team event and as a team we done good with 17 species and 3rd overall with only 1 point between 2nd and 3rd.
Well done to all who took part Fred for winning, John and crew (Kelly's Hero) 2nd and the Jerry's on there first species comp......brilliant result guys.
