Another great day out
I think the look on Grace’s face says it all. Another successful, safe, fun fishing competition.
The weather was great, if not a wee bit bouncy.
The overall prize for the BAY CHALLENGE went to Jamieson Bay, and that was in spite of the efforts of some avid fishing folk from Opahi Bay making special T-shirts.
Oh well, there’s always next year: AUCKLAND ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND – SUNDAY, 31st JANUARY 2021.
To see all the results and for more photos, read on.
