Next Round:Series is complete
Day 1 My plan for the Basin was to fish an area that gives me plenty of different technique options and keep rotating them until I found something that was working. I started with plastics in around 1.5m to 2m of water and was straight into Taylor that were harassing stacks of bait fish. I [...]
Winning Boating Team Report After not having much of an opportunity to fish in the month leading up to the Squidgy Grand Final, a pre fish on Friday before the first day of competition was a must. The weather conditions were similar to a day Guy and I found some quality fish in a [...]

Weigh in results Day 1 & 2 St Georges Basin and Shoalhaven River
Winning Team Report R7 St Georges Basin It was our standard Basin plan with a twist for this round, still fishing edges and relatively shallow, but doing a few runs that we don’t normally fish. We fished up shallow on the western side and as usual we could see the bottom. It was going to be [...]
I didn’t have a set plan for the day as I hadn’t managed to get a pre-fish in and hadn’t fished the basin since round 2 back in February. So as we all left I made the decision to head straight across the basin, my theory was I would see if there were any willing [...]

Winning Boating Team Report – Team Ecogear – Simon Pender & Scott McGrath Finally!!! It’s been a long time coming. The round at Coota was our first win. What an incredible tournament so many great bags, I don’t think I have ever seen so many one kilo plus bream caught in one day. We started [...]
Winning Kayakers report by Joel Crosbie – Team Rod Bendings Having fished Mallacoota approximately 8 weeks earlier I had a fairly good idea of what I wanted to do on the weekend. On the Friday prefish I confirmed my plan by pulling three legal fish off the bank I had selected, which was at the [...]

With [...]
By Team: Honda Marine/Ecogear Anglers How good is this? I get the pleasure of writing two winning team reports from our last two SSBS rounds. Well I was really looking forward to fishing this round as I love fishing river systems with plenty of current flow and I did not have too far to travel [...]
Winning Kayaker Report I started my day with a fairly well laid out plan, using the tide to run down to the racks at the front of the river. I hadn’t counted on how low the tide would be and how far the racks would be exposed, high and dry. I worked the bay on [...]
I set off on Sunday with a plan to head downstream against the tide (hoping that not many other kayakers would be prepared to battle the current) and hit as many weed beds as I could find with surface lures and shallow hards. I hadn’t managed to fit a pre-fish in and was unsure about [...]
By Team No Hope. Jay Rook & Brendan McNeil. What awesome weather Batemans Bay put on for us on the Sunday, turned out exactly how the weather forecast predicted which rarely seems to happen. Me and my team mate Brendon were really excited to head down to the 3 round of the squidgy southern bream [...]
Round 3 – Squidgie Southern Bream Series 2012 wrap up –BatemansBay A beautiful calm day greeted anglers as they arrived at Nelligen Big4 Caravan Park for the third round of the Squidgie Southern Bream Series Batemans Bay. 60 boating teams headed off on Sunday morning. Fishing, by all accounts, was tough. Jay Rook and Brendan [...]
After pre-fishing on Saturday I was pretty confident that I’d have a good day fishing blades and plastics for the duration of the comp, so much so that i think this was the first comp I’ve ever done with out my trusty 7’6″ Lox yoshi and stuck to my shorter rods for casting accuracy and blade work.
