Hi Roberta,
Thanks for your report, you've covered it well.
It was a great weekend from both a social and competition perspective.
Your right, the tides were't quite the best but my theory is that where there is water, there could be fish. My mate Lyndo who also fished the comp is a very wise fisho and he once put it to me like this. Imagine throwing on a mask and snorkel and jumping in. What would you expect to see? So true isn't it? I think even when things are not looking so fishy you just have to imagine that there could be fish there and you must be ready for what might happen next otherwise you might miss the tell tail signs of a "take".
Regards
Luke
