A report from Brad at the 20th Alliance Tag & Release Tournament held at Bermagui on the weekend: Like Port Stephens, it seems the fishing at Bermi has been a little quiet with just the 6 marlin for the two days – 4 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. Congratulations to Brad and team on Aurora for taking out Champion Boat over 6.8m with 2 stripes and their angler Chris Sedgwick, Champion Male, and to Champion Lady Angler Sharon Garbutt on board Hot Shot!Back at Port yesterday. It was a lonely day on the shelf for us on Reel Chase yesterday only coming across just the one other trailer boat. But it appears the current has backed off a bit and a bit more bait appearing. We managed to live bait yesterday for the first time in over a week which resulted in another single striped T&R for the day for angler Angus.Hopefully good numbers of fish find the bait schools soon.
