Local resident, all round good guy and former occupant of Manning Point Manor, James, picked up this great jewie while flicking for plastics. He was just near the pool when I got onto this cracker.

By the look of his bleeding feet, we reckon he jumped in to get it out of the water!

Haka Jo has one hand on the trophy after a sterling day on the Manning. He started with a few nice whiting and followed with a 50cm flattie.  The day, however, was crowned golden when he landed a 75cm jewie after a good 10 minute fight around the oyster leases.

Mangrove's team which included Ganghook and Sir James had a few keepers

Ok, here is the flattie I caught. And in true fisherman style, I did miss a massive one about 20 minutes beforehand. Played for about 10 mins on the sandy flats wondering how I'd get it onto shore before she spat the hook. It must have been the one that Groper missed last year at the Classic.
