Show Notes
In this episode we are off to the mighty Georges River in Sydney.
This for me was a very interesting event. In the weeks leading up to the event, the river was fishing very very well. There was lots of large Bream and lots of Mulloway up to the 1m mark. When competition day arrived the river started to shut down a little.
First up we have repeat guest Tony Pettie who fished very well and regained the Batman title fro Simon. For anyone who fished this competiton and struggled this is a great interview. Tony fished basic patterns with good effect. He also won the Atomic Big Bream with a 1.4 kg beast. Tony is one of a few anglers who is making a charge on the AOY points table.
In second place we have Jason Marshall who is relatively new to the Hobie Series and is also a repeat guest on The Bream Fishing Project. Jason is showing the way for anyone who would like to come and have a go at a kayak fishing event. Jason has won two Yakhunters bream rounds and has had one Ppodium finish and a top ten in Hobie rounds.
Jason had a very interesting story which showed a lot of dedication and tenacity. Jason put all of his eggs in one basket and it paid real dividends. Tune in to hear his story.
First place went to the one and only Russell Babekuhl. Russell has had an amazing run in his last 5 events and this is no exception. However, it wasn't Russell's easiest win. He didn't catch lots of fish and he also fished in a way tha is a little different from his usual strategy. I was surprised by a couple of things Russell spoke about.... but you will need to listen in to hear all about it!
