Sydney Swords

Photo at top from Chris Cleaver’s 208 Edgewater Cleavedge from Saturday off Sydney. Ryan Camlin fished with Chris and Justin Essex for a 4-3-3 all released. The fish were estimated at 10kg, 15kg and 30kg. (I think this might be the first ‘3 released in a day’ in Aus?) The Port Hacking GFC anglers have now tagged 4 swords in their last two trips and Chris’ boat has notched up 8 for the year! Photos by Chris and used with thanks! Awesome stuff!
