Calamari Cup - Winners are Grinners

 G'day 

Entered the Calamari Cup today with a couple of good mates.

The boys live north and had never fished the sound before today. Got out to my usual squid grounds in the sound, and we were greeted with some pretty dirty water - which never makes squidding easy. Got off to a decent start, but the squid were patchy, we would nail 3 or 4 in quick succession then patches of not much. Completely shut down at about 1030am. The boys nailed 3 really nice squid, one of which took out the biggest squid comp'. Ended up with 17 all up, but had to work pretty hard for them. Changing the jigs up, moving around and switching up techniques, anything to get the squids attention in the dirty water. On the way in we figured we had done alright considering the soup coloured water. We knew we were up against some pretty stiff competition so weren't counting any early chickens. 

We ended up taking out the biggest squid division and the heaviest bag of 10 squid (The Calamari Cup)!

Team Swifty took out the heaviest bag. Boys, we will be back next year if you want a crack at the title? :) 

All in all a good day out, and cheers to Weekend Hustlers for putting on the comp. Always good to get out there for a bit of competition, a few laughs with mates and a couple frothies at the end of it. 

Boys On The Hoods 2016 Calamari Cup Winners.

Cheers,

 Krusty - Thanks mate. That is actually a fake lawn. Looks pretty realistic for a fake lawn hey?

Goodz - To be honest I'm actually not too sure what the winning weights were for the bags (maybe someone else can chime in?). Heaviest squid was 1.2Kg from memory, the last years best was 800g. 

Walfootrot - You boys definitely did very well. Especially to catch as many squid as you did for the biggest total bag, think you boys gave us a bit of a touch up in that division. But it is all about the cup! and we will be back next year to lock horns and defend the title from you lads.

and yes big thanks to Weekend Hustler for putting on the show.
