The Grand Final of the Squidgy Southern Bream Series was held recently in NSW over two locations, St George Basin and Greenwell point. Conditions varied on the days with some atrocious conditions hampering some seriously skilled anglers from completing full bags. With 25 kayakers competing for bragging rights along with cash and prizes the result was always going to be close (Or would it?).
KFA’s own Jason ‘Squidder’ Price took top honours with a 2 day combined bag weight of 2.765kg. Jason battled the elements with a surface bite that many believed to be non existent. His five of a total possible 6 Bream bag limit earned him first place, $1000 cash and some prizes. Andrew Death fell a few fish short but still claimed second place, just in front of tournament champion Stewart Dunn.
I managed a credible fourth place overall, fishing deep blades on day one and shallow cranking on day two. AKFF’s Davey G rounded out the top five with a gutsy effort. Some of our Bream peers floundered and really struggled with the South Coast Bream. Some days they are bountiful and others impossible. From what I heard it was some of the toughest Grand Final fishing the SBSS (Formally SBS) has ever encountered.
Tournament highlights included a mammoth 2.5kg Bream from Team Fishing World (Boating) and the Chinese dinner on the Saturday night at the Greenwell Point Bowling Club. The event was run smoothly and KFA would love to send a big thankyou to Jim, Amy and committee members from Basin, Lure and Fly. With a growing field of yakkers, the SSBS 2011 series should be well attended.
