Day two of the Daiwa-Hobie ABT Kayak Series Grand Final wrapped up in style today with Daniel Brown taking out the title. Daniel not only took the win but also secured back to back GF titles, with his win in 2010 and now in 2011. The weigh master mentioned results would be close and at the bump tubs it really was anyone’s game. Conditions on the water mirrored day one with warm glassed out waters with a hint of a shower or two developing. The heavens opened up but saved their grace till the official weigh in and presentation.
I wont go into too much details on the top place getters as it will be well and truly covered on http://www.bream.com.au/ and http://www.hobiefishing.com/. The Hobie World Kayak Fishing Series also wrapped up with Scott Baker taking the individual title and both the man in question and Greg Lewis taking out the team event. It was great to see the international anglers adapt so well to Bream as they put a lot of local and well rounded anglers to shame. Kudos visitors, hope to see you back on our waters again (If not yours, hopefully).
On a personal note my day two consisted of my original prefish plan, letting the field move on and targeted flats and bank lines closer to town. Alas I struggled again, but take comfort in the fact I was not alone. Without judging things too finely, and if my figures are correct, 22 double donuts were recorded in this year’s Grand Final (No names people, its ok). Sorry to say I was one of them, it just wasn’t meant to be. That one trick pony thing came back to haunt me, again and again (I really must learn how to fish racks eh?).
Major props to Hobie, Daiwa, ABT and all affiliate sponsors on another well run event and the effort involved with the whole of this year’s season, the third Hobie Kayak Fishing Series. Steve Fields teased many with mentions of next year’s series starting in January, I’m sure all event details will be announced shortly. On behalf of Kayak Fishing Adventures I would like to thank Hobiecat Australasia and Ugly Fish Eyewear for the ongoing sponsorship as an individual angler, both in tournaments and general support. It’s been a cracker season guys, I look forward to seeing you all again next year.
