Arriving at Riverside the sun was shining and the water was coloured. The fishing was hard going with just small fish being caught compared to last time we fish this event, the only thing we could put it down too was to much rain water coming down the river.

3rd J Nelson with 1 fish for 28pts

Shore match 4th June

A good surf was running last night with the winds at 30mph which we thought would be good for the fishing as it would stir up the sea bed. The first hour nothing till the tide started to flood, I then got a good pull over and felt the weight of a good fish on but as it came over the sand bar it came off my only chance at a fish was gone.

Tony then landed a nice fish weighing in at 5lbs 3ozs then landed another one at 5lbs. Gus was next to land one at 4lbs 8ozs

Results are as follows.

1st Tony with 2 fish for 134pts

2nd Gus with 1 fish for 58pts

Shore Match 15 June

The shore match at Carrick went well with the water being coloured close in. There was more smoothies about this time than there was in the last match. The smoothies were either slack lineing you or holding onto the bait as a few were letting go near the edge of the water.

Results are as follows

1st Shane with 4 fish for 256pts

2nd Frank with 1 fish for 35pts
