A total of 44 anglers fished the competition which was a great turnout.
Fishing conditions were good, with fine weather and good water clarity for the lure fisherman. However, most teams struggled to put together a good bag, except Footscray Angling Club, where father and son team of Alex and Lucas Xuereb catching 7 quality fish between them. A great effort!
The results were as follows,
Preston Angling Club fished 14 anglers for 6 bream for a total weight of 2540grams. This equated to an average per angler of 181.43grams.
East Keilor RSL Angling Club fished 6 anglers for no bream weighed in.
Fawkner and Merlyston Angling Club fished 8 anglers for 2 bream for a total weight of 825grams. This equated to an average per angler of 103.13grams.
