Winning session one’s gold Bluefin tinnie was Dave Trinder with 2/2, 3.12kg. Dave, who has hit some form this year with wins at both Lostock and St. Clair did his homework on the Friday prefish and stuck to his plan. - Fishing a Megabass Destroyer rod matched to a Shimano Chronarch with 12lb Sea Bass braid and 12lb Rockfish leader, his winning lure was the 1/4 oz Bassman spinnerbait with green/white skirts and silver blades.
Heading to the 3rd bay on the left from the start area, Dave fished an area round from the point where the edge dropped and then rose again. Casting his Bassman spinnerbait to the edge, he would hop them down the bank and then jerk the lure off the bottom. The bass would hit the lure on the drop.
“I caught both fish on the 2nd and 5th cast,” said Trinder.
With his equal 4th place on the Sunday session, Trinder took out the overall fishing honours and a massive 70 rankings points propelling him to the top of the BASS Electric Rankings.
Day two’s 1.14kg bass came from the timber after a long hour and 15 minute drive under electric power. The lure that did the damage was his favourite Marz Timberjack in black/mustard colour.
Day two victor taking home the silver Bluefin Trekker and Motorguide package was Rick Virgo with a great 1.61kg bass.
Using a 7ft Struddick rod and Shimano Symetre 2500 reel with 8lb Fireline and 8lb Rock Fish leader, Rick found the big bass taking a liking to his ayu Mask Vibe.
With a 3/4hr drive to the mouth of the Stuart arm, the bass hit on the 3rd cast and it was a long nervous wait till the weigh in to see if it had won him the boat.
Finding fish on the sounder in 25ft of water, Rick found these fish were shut down and began to start bouncing the Mask Vibe off the bottom in 40ft of water. With several legals in the boat, his only wish was that he had down the same a day earlier.
With the Convention being a fun filled event with quiz and casting competitions as added activities, the overall winner at the weekend was a happy Charles West whose fishing and casting abilities took him to the top of the leaderboard.
With plenty of random prizes at the Sunday presentation, the main prize was the third and final bronze Bluefin/Motorguide package. The winner Robert Ottesen proved that not catching a legal fish all weekend can still get you a great prize for simply competing.
ABT would like to thanks all the anglers and Electric organisers for the patronage and help throughout the year. A big thank you to the major sponsors Bluefin and Motorguide and a special mention to the Boondooma Fish Stocking Association for the use of the facilities on the weekend.
