Thanks Troy

You have to learn to smile mate when you get your photo taken you look like you've just been arrested for drug possession in most of the shots

. I will get your photo up soon as I get a chance mate.

Cheers Bill

Yeh well done Fellas - some top results there.

That anchoring up technique sounds interesting. Did any of you blokes give it a go.

no way man
isaw lots of peopl doing the sit and wait thing but thats not
what drewy and i had in mind
we covered a bit of ground and
went to the feeding fish instead of waiting for the schools to switch on, it paid off
caught lots of fish but couldnt get the quality
we were after ......well drewy couldnt...hahahaha sorry drewy had to say it ... but all in all it was a kick ass weekend did catch some decent fish one of wich went just shy of 45 cm wich was a very angry fish im sure he wanted to kill us both judging on what it did to my pore strike pro pygmy2

Even though "team double donut" didn't get any bream that went over the line, it was still a top weekend. Added another species to the list with the little fella below, which partially made up for it though. Anyone else got any pics?

Thanks Again Guys

I had a great weekend even though I was flat out for most of it. I have to say though I have been involved in a number of sporting clubs and the like and never have I come accross a better bunch of guys it makes organising these comps fun.

The anchoring technique did work for some but I don't think I'm patient enough to just sit there but I guess if you can see the fish on the sounder no point moving around just wait them out.

Look forward to seeing you all at Mallacoota & Glenelg. Also get on the website www.vicbreamclassics.com.au and check the new merchandise support the series by getting yourself some

Cheers Bill

Bill it was one hell of a weekend I really enjoyed it. Maybe we can make the Queens birthday weekend the Bream Bash, Baito's vs the Classic boys. Be a chance for a bit of fun and braging rights between the 2 styles. I am sure it would take off and be a great weekend. Although my dad would join the baito's and kick most of our butts by his self

Yeh Lawrence i wasnt very enthusiastic about fishing the open water like many other but Troy produced the first few fish and it was a real eye opener for me and on day 2 i had a whole new gameplan on how to fish the river.

Very interesting place, i understand there is a reef along alot of it but some of the places we fished in open water didnt seem to have anything on the bottom to get hooked up on snag like.

Thanks again Bill, Stewie and Nath

Yeh, it was an awesome weekend Bill, and as you said the people involved are fantastic, you barely ever see an event held in any sport where all the people gell so well together.

Spiro the first three hours on Saturday had you thinking a bit different bud, you were a little frustrated to say the least.
