Alex Roy

Has been tournament fishing for 3 years, clocking up numerous top 10 finishes in both qld and NSW events. This includes a 4th and a 6th in the past month on the Gold Coast.  5 top 5 finishes with 2 on the Gold Coast.

1st place in the 2012 Australian Classic bream championships.

Preferred tournament tactics are fishing canals with top water lures and soft plastics, however with the cooler water around I’ll have to change things up to suit the deep bite.

 

Unfortunately Steve Eldred and Shane Wolhuter have had to withdraw.

The auction will be conducted on Thursday night after the club’s AGM.
