It featured a competitive field and some impressive bags despite the tough fishing conditions leading into the event. Andrew breaks down the tournament with interviews from the top three teams, diving deep into their approach, decision-making, and the small details that made the difference over two days of competition. 🥉 Third Place – Team Bream Brothers (Aaron Clifton & Simon Moore) A consistent two-day performance saw Team Bream Brothers finish with 6.58 kg, just 20 grams shy of second place. They discuss: Fishing deep structure in 12–25 ft of water Using crabs to target timid fish Managing spots across a two-day event Adjusting leader strength to handle deep current and structure The importance of patience when bites are subtle 🥈 Second Place – Zeus Tackle (Dane Tomasewski & Adam Lacey) Finishing just ahead by a narrow margin with 6.60 kg, the Zeus Tackle team shares a gritty account of their tournament. They cover: Grinding out bites on rock walls and bridges Landing key fish under pressure, including a crucial 950 g upgrade Fishing light leaders in clear water Using crabs and mussels as primary techniques Decision-making when swinging for upgrades late in the session 🥇 First Place – Team Smart Fish / Precision Building Maintenance With a dominant performance, the winning team secured victory with 8.81 kg, including a standout 1.3 kg bream. They reveal: Using forward-facing sonar to locate and target fish Fishing bridges and bays based on tide timing Matching lure choice to fish position in the water column Upgrading entire bags in short feeding windows Executing under pressure late on day two 🌊 Conditions & Bite Periods Fishing across both days proved challenging, with: Limited bite windows Fish holding deeper than expected Clear water requiring finesse presentations Success came down to staying adaptable, making the most of short feeding periods, and executing cleanly when opportunities arose.
