Yes good turn out. A few of the old Hamilton club signed on including Rex Lowry 73 years old. The youngest was Bree Fox, she's only 8 years old! Weather was much better than internet predicted, who would of thought . Sunday at Griffith Island was moderate swell but very dive able and Monday at Killarney low swell with excellent conditions. Both days great visibility and lots of Crays. Catches up to 15 species by A grade divers but I will leave that for Watto to report.

Paul don't forget the divers or diver with 2 or less species that spend all their time scaring the fish out into deeper water for the A graders to catch.

Had a great long weekend unfortunately it ended too soon, but got to meet some great friendly people.

Carly and I can't wait for the next one.

Hard to say which fish was the best. Thumping garfish around 45cm, whitting to 780grams, boarfish over 2kgs, massive 6spine, the list goes on mate

Having trouble finding the Results, was wondering how Mac placed

Results are in the Members section, can't let the P,G&E's see them (You'll know what I mean from my previous post)

Great to see a couple of pairs in the results

full report in members section

Comp is rigged. I should be in "E" grade.

E grade point system per day:

100 points for getting in the water
150 points for not spearing myself or anyone else
200 points for not creating brown stains in my undies when 3m black ray tried stealing my blue throat from my hand.
100 points any fish that is legal length, no minimum weight
-300 points for spewing and trying to convince Carly spew is the best berley!
500 points for not drowning

My score after 2 days
200+300+200+500(sweep, grass, parrot, bluethroat x2), -600(spew x2), +1000(surviving)
=1600points

Makes me finish 8th above Watto and KiwiScott
You boys need to lift!!

Less spew and I'd be knocking on the door of Lethal and Trent.

I haven't forgotten you Brown Mullet remember I used to be "awesome"

Hi guys. Thanks for posting the results of the WD champs. Had to get back to Hamilton and missed the final results on the day. First comp back after about 10+ years out of the scene and Rex and I really enjoyed it! Time I got fit again and have a proper crack again lol. Hope to see you all down this way again soon and if you do head down shoot me a message and we can hook up for a dive in port fairy or Portland. Cheers
