social 19th & 20th .... and it just gets better - Page 2

Ok I have managed to download the photos this morning so I can throw a couple up.
Just want to thank Brad and the others that organised the weekend, it was fantactic. I fished pretty averagely over the weekend but got saved by the stonker I got yesterday. To say I was stoked about this fish is an understatement. It has taken me three years to beat my PB but I have finally taken a big step towards the 2kg holy grail and if I had only caught this one fish for the weekend I still would have been stoked.
To see not one but two bags of fish that averaged over 1kg per fish was absolutley awesome and is what winter breaming on the Swan is all about. To those who weren't there, all I can say is you missed some of the most monumental fishing I have seen in Perth with an incredible number of fish over the 1kg mark.
Anyway I will put up a couple of photos.
This is Suzie's new PB and I think was 820 grams but someone may correct me.

Cheers, Dror

Here are a couple of my pics...

Dror and his new 1.8kg personal best.

Ian Sewell · #18 21-07-2008, 12:03 AM

Almost a matching pair... 1.6 kg and 1.5kg not a bad follow up from an appalling day 1.

Dror · #19 21-07-2008, 12:04 AM

1.8kg of Swan river pony. I am still smiling.

Sorry Dror, however it is a fish that is certainly worth seeing twice. Just realised we can now post up bigger pics. Fast aren't I!!

Dror · #24 21-07-2008, 12:12 AM

Well I think these are worth posting a few pics of as well. This is part of Sewelly's bag yesterday. These two had a combined weight of about 3.2kg I think it was.

brad mcdonald · #25 21-07-2008, 12:15 AM

looks even bigger in the pics ...... wow

i actualy feel a bt sorry for you ian .... a 4.5kg bag and missed out on the top 3 ...

Sensational fishing everyone great to see you had such stunning bags over the 2 days well done to all who fished and the organisers too...winter breaming worth every cold moment for sure.

I also want to give a big thank you to tosh for helping so many boaters out with launching and retrieving. He does it without blinking an eyelid. Non boaters were a bit shy I thought, but the weigh in at the end got everyone together a bit more. Hopefully we will see the same people back again plus a few more.

Shane · #30 21-07-2008, 05:56 AM

Yeah cheers Tosh, helped me out once.

On the NB, I always found there seemed to be a divide between the guys with boats and those without. And I only breached it when buying a boat

I think it is something that would help the scene to break down the walls. But I think more social comps like this one will go a long way to help.

So would making the weigh in size smaller, well that would help me
