Each angler was allocated exactly the same amount of bait, which had to last the official four hours of fishing each day. This included: 1 x kg Sardine, ½ kg Chokka (Squid) and 10 mullet). The anglers would cut these up into appropriate-sized bait fillets. Most of the fish caught were Guitar Fish and there were some Catfish and Eagle Rays.
