It was a glamour start weather-wise, but unless you were one of the lucky few, it was a quiet, albeit very nice, day. On the Bank, Ningaloo opened their 2008 season with three for the day including this guy on the left (above). Team Port Stepehens/Lake Macquarie had a great day fishing on Calypso also with two, including a big fish for racing identity Gary Holt. Mistress, added to their tally with another 350lb-er bringing their total to 4 from 3 days. The rest of us, didn’t lose any, enjoying the day.Up on number 10, Tradition released a 350lb-er to round out the day’s reports. Anyone care to guess what the picture on the left is? Hint, it has something to do with the picture on the right. (Still from Towcam. Also a great lure ;-)
