Man you guys have a crazy fishery up there
Hi, Al.
Yeah, had we not been prevented from fishing the Bridge to Cape kayak comp a week before for family reasons (Orty, good boy, has carried our entry fee forward to his next comp), Nick could have won that 
- Mike B's 9.345 won it instead.
- Mike B's 9.345 won it instead.This one was 9.4kg, a very long and lean fish, unusual for a big snapper at this time of year. Since BOISC's competition year started on 1 July, we had it weighed at the club and it's Nick's first pinfish.
(He's off to play rugby and do a Master's in marine environmental policy at Cambridge University at the end of next month, so I thought he might like a club pin to take with him and mystify the fenlanders.)

Well done Nick, did you weigh it Pete?
Would have been top of the fishing comp leader boards also...

legend. thats an awesome fish. at the right time too with the comp. well done
Well done Kevin!
As an aside, it seems strange that there have been so few posts in this thread over the past period. It begs the question whether some people have gone off softbait or just not catching big fish on SBs?

I was keen to start playing around with soft baits and decided to start small and target the rockpools and weed egdes from the shore.
On saturday i managed to catch my first yellow-eyed mullet.
Forgot the damn camera!
