34 boats fished what became a one day comp with Saturday fishing cancelled due to poor weather.

And although the conditions were fairly average for the first half of the day Sunday, there were 7 marlin tagged with lots more seen and 2 mahi mahi tagged also.

Jugs tagged a blue early to run away with a swag of prizes (pic at top – thanks Casey!) but not before having to endure a nailbiting rest of the day!
