received in the Rookie Pack at the
event briefing, Team Flattop Fishing
caught their limit on a Zerek Fish
Trap fishing just wide of a flooded
hump.
“We fished a little deeper than most
Armed with the Zerek lures they of the other teams in the area at the
start of the session and as the night
wore on we moved in closer to the
shallows,” explained Jackson.
Late in the session the pair would cast
tight up into the shallows landing
their lures in about 3ft of water. They
would then burn them back fast to
keep the lures above the weed and it
was on the burn that the fish would
bite.
The biggest fish for the tournament
was also caught on a Ze rek Fish Trap.
Team Flattop Fishing picked up the
Zerek Big Barra prize at Kinchant
with the prize winning fish measuring
124cm. Tempted by the black jack
coloured Zerek Fish Trap they
received in their briefing kit, the fish
found sanctuary in the weed before
sufficient rod pressure extracted it
and into the waiting net.
Team Venom (Troy and Robbie)
managed to land in 5th place for the
event, while Team Mustad (Lochie
and Jeremy) finished in 8th place for
the event.
