Bugger it, 4 is more fun

Locals who knew about the comp before it was a comp: Adam's donkey, the Floyd's on Bents, and why the Saturday lunch break was the best idea of the weekend.

Words by Peter Hancock

We new about the comp way before it was a comp so the excitement of a new comp run differently was a big attraction

I put the word out to my regular team and big Dennis was the first to raise his hand. Unfortunatly Ben was busy with comp so Pauly was the next call and straight away he was in. Do we fish 3 or 4 was the next call, bugger it 4 is more fun so Paul called his mate Adam the Dutchman and his didn't even blink, he was in

Best moment on the water

Several

Adams big 84cm monstor

Watching the Floyd's pull in big fish after big fish using Bents

Watching 54 cans disappear out of the esky on the Friday

And the best part of the whole weekend was the Saturday compulsory lunch break, it's really was a great idea
