Fiji Classic 3 Day Competition

Not a lot of fish around this year but the weather was ideal and the beer was cold. So good to catch up and have three days of fishing and club festivities!

The boys on Lunasea cleaned up for the second year in a row, well done!

These are the results after three days drinking in the sun: 1 x Sailfish tag and released, 4 x Mahi Mahi, 1 x Skip Jack tuna weighed in.
