Sometime's it's the weather, the wind or just the presentation. One thing is for sure...the fishing was hard for some, at the fish o mania qualifiers on Gold Valley today.
Although Pdac member Grant Thorne won his section on peg 19, with a good weight of 71lb 4oz with 8 fish, sadly it wasn't enough to qualify for the finals.
