2015 NSW Interclub – at the half way mark
I’m not sure how many boats are competing (anyone?) but by my count (eek!) there were 104 marlin tags (and 2 spearfish!) recorded so far with the breakdown 79 black marlin, 20 striped marlin and 5 blue marlin.
In the individual point score (T&R), Broken Bay’s Vengence are ahead at the end of the second day’s fishing with 3 black marlin, 3 striped marlin and a hammerhead shark tag. Capt. George Trinklers’ (NPSGFC) team on Born Free are close behind with 6 marlin tags (5 blacks and 1 stripe) making a run on Day 2 adding 5 of those fish, when, George tells me that the Carpark finally started to fire. While the inshore black marlin have gone a little quiet, both Born Free and Shelby caught 5 a piece on the Carpark on Sunday.
In the club race (T&R), Newcastle Port Stephens (Team 1) is ahead at the halfway mark, followed by Broken Bay Team 1 and Sydney GFC Team 2. Newcastle Port Stephens teams will be looking to return the Champion Club Award back to the host location club who, after 8 wins in a row, lost the crown to this same Sydney GFC team last year.
On the Capture side, the leading boat is Get Reel from Newcastle Port Stephens GFC with two 300kg+ makos! Public Enemy have weighed the heaviest shark thus far with a 373.5kg tiger.
Capture teams: Newcastle Port Stephens (Team 1) is ahead in a very tight race followed by Sydney GFC Team 1 and another Newcastle Port Stephens team (2).
Meanwhile the junior anglers (T&R) are also keeping the race between them very competitive. Luke Ashman on Gloriana is ahead of Dylan Ale on Finatic on lineclass points, both with 3 marlin tags a piece with Spencer Hoye on Haulin is also just one fish behind.
2015 Lyndy Grieves Memorial Tournament
