"Serious boats for serious fisherman."
Malcolm Edgar sent us in this photo. Is from a fishing competition. Malcolm says there would of been approx 180 boats competing over a 4 day period and his McLay was probably one of the smallest, but they managed to catch the winning fish in weather that kept 40% of the other boats in for the day. He says it goes with our saying, serious boats for serious fisherman. Malcolm thanks for sharing your photo and congratulations on your win!!!
