Day 1 of Western Districts was held today at Taylor’s Bay, Port Fairy. There was a great turn out of 17 competitors with some new faces amongst the old.
The swell was high which meant that most divers stuck to the lagoons, the few that ventured into the breaking waves quickly returned battered and bruised.
Most divers headed east with Watto leading with a sprint. Some great fish were seen within minutes of entering the water including a 2kg+ Snapper seen by Blacky.
Although there were many fish around, it was hard to find different species, some divers reported spending larger amounts of time looking for one big fish only to go round the corner and find heaps of the same species.
After 6 hours everyone was eager to find out what their mates had shot, everyone reported having small bags which meant it was going to be a close finish. Watto with 7 species.
Some standout fish were Wattos 1.3kg snapper and 805g whiting.
Thanks Kim A for the write up.
