Day one of the Daiwa-Hobie ABT Grand Final for 2011 got underway today, with blasts of sunshine and the forecast change. Competitors packed rods, reels and as much tackle as they dare into the factory supplied Pro Anglers amassed on the start line. Anticipation like in all the Hobie events was quite high, with angler’s game plans and nous at the ready. Would the tournament bring in the quality fish that grand final weigh masters are used to receiving or would the weather play a big part and play havoc with results?
Today marked the official prefish event for the Daiwa-Hobie ABT Grand Final 2011. For those that could make, dozens upon dozens of Hobie Pro Angler kayaks hit the water in search of hot water (So to speak). As most of us well and truely know each other no real secrets were kept, entrants often shared what tackle success they discovered on the day with others (Who in turn shared info) but also where they went and why. The diversity of techniques that took fish was right up there with rounds past, and while some caught bags full others found the bite rather timid.
This is it, the weekend is so close its only an 8 hour drive away (For some anyway, further for others). The culmination of my results including a lot of donuts (Some doubles), couple of mid range finishes and a top 5 or two all come to a head in the Daiwa-Hobie Kayak Series Grand Final this weekend. The venue is the town of Port Macquarie and the event features competitors from the Hobie Worlds - http://www.hobiefishingworlds.com/
I will blog information on all the days proceedings including what lures worked for me(If they indeed do) on prefish and results from day one and two. It's a big field, the biggest I have fished in to date and is sure to be a mega blast. Official prefish is this Friday, followed by day one on Saturday and day two on Sunday. Weather looks a touch on the wet side going off the Hobie Worlds Day 2 prefish and the official forecast, but that won't stop competitors bringing their 'A' game.
Stay tuned people...
The Squidgy Southern Bream Series Grand Final 2011 has been run and won, taken out by one of the favourites Andrew Death. Conditions for day on St Georges Basin were perfect weather wise but cracking a pattern as always proved difficult. Bream were active in the shallows but a little flighty, following lures but holding off from any sort of hit. My result one day one was quite lucky as apart from some monster run from what I presume to be a mammoth Bream (Could have been a Snapper?) I struggled with Blades. However, big bags and fish were weighed in by boaters and kayakers with the top yak bag weighing over 2.5kg.
Another cold front past through, last for awhile hopefully...
To escape the chill Squidder and I decided to educate ourselves further on Carping, this time at a scholastic institute known for abundance. On arrival plenty were visible and active and as the sun came out in-between overcast conditions they slowly shut down. Interesting to note the eminence of a dead specimens littering the bank (Sure there pests, but why leave them like that?).
