1ST DAY OF THE FISHING COMPETITION 

We woke to very strong Easterly wind very disappointed we wouldn't be able to get out fishing early. Liza, Jackie and myself went to the local markets waiting for the wind to drop, Liza and I bought a box of new lures to share $50 for high quality there was 12 lures 2 of the same so we both got 6 great lures.

Back at camp we just made rigs and checked we had everything, by 12.15 we decided we would go out but stay in close.

We had quite a bit of fun catching pike and throwing them back and it seemed like it would be all small fish, the weather settled and I was lucky enough to catch a big pink snapper, the only size fish for the day.

When we went back to town for weigh in it weighed 6.3kgs, it put me in 1st place for pink snapper and the organisers told me it was not likely to be beaten.

We cleaned the fish and had dinner at the fiesta tent, back to the camp to cryovac the fish, shower and bed
