š£ 2nd Place ā Gavin Howard: Gavin details his best-ever day on the Port, landing multiple legals on a Gulp Sandworm and riding that result to a solid second-place finish. He also breaks down how he ground it out on Day 2 to secure one vital fish late in the dayāshowing grit and persistence when conditions got even tougher.
š£ 1st Place ā Lee Kirchner: Lee not only took the win but also helped run the event! He talks through his approach of using deep-diving hardbodies in heavy current and how staying calm under pressure helped him convert two key bites on Day 2.

In this episode, we're diving into the competitive waters of Mallacoota, Victoria, where we cover the Daiwa ABT Bream Series Round 2 held on February 22nd and 23rd. This round featured the innovative Humminbird technology onboard Steve Morgan's boat, playing a significant role in the competition. Stay tuned as we roll into the details of how these technological advancements influenced the results and delve into the techniques and strategies that made a difference in this tight contest. Join us for an insightful episode filled with expert commentary and pro tips directly from the waters of Mallacoota!
Mark Healy - Claiming the top spot again, Mark showed his adaptability and strategic thinking. Despite a challenging pre-fish day where he didn't find any significant patterns, Mark stayed committed to his spots. Utilizing a mix of deep cranking techniques, he was able to find quality fish in narrow, specific bite windows. His ability to stay patient and capitalize during these short periods of activity, particularly with a standout 39-fork-length bream, secured his victory.
Mario Vukic - Coming in at second place, Mario also faced a tough event with hard-to-come-by bites. He navigated the challenging conditions by adjusting his tactics throughout the tournament, focusing on deeper water when his usual spots didn't produce. His persistence paid off on the second day when he tapped into a productive pattern near Goodwin Sands, targeting deeper fish that were less affected by the fresh influx of water.
Steve Morgan - Known for his analytical approach and utilization of technology, Steve found success by adapting his strategies based on real-time observations from his fish finder. Fishing with live sonar helped him understand the fish's behavior, especially their movement in relation to the thermocline in the lake. Steve's methodical approach allowed him to target fish that others might have missed, contributing to a solid finish.
