Day 1 Weigh-In
Report
FORSTER FINAL REPORT
Rhino-Rack, JML and Hobie Polarized round two of Hobie Kayak Bream Series 10 saw anglers from Victoria (VIC), New South Wales (NSW), the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), South Australia (SA), and Queensland (QLD), compete in the two-day competition at the oyster lease, ?rack fishing? mecca of Foster in NSW, Australia.
Forster is a coastal town on the Mid North Coast region of NSW, about 308km north-north-east of Sydney. Forster is immediately adjacent to its twin, Tuncurry, the smaller of the two adjoining towns.
Pre-Fish Day on Friday, saw competitors return to the event arena with a reasonable number having pulled in solid bags from the famous Foster ?Racks?, as well as, the flats the system has on offer.
The forecast for the competition over the weekend was spot on, with both days seeing wind blowing in from the south to south east across Wallis Lake. Saturday was the winder of the two days with the wind peaking at 27 km/h at around 1pm, while on Sunday started off in glassy conditions with wind reaching a maximum strength of 12 km/h.
Anglers took off from the Power-Pole starting line one kayak at a time, using the ?Order of Entry? format. The first angler to enter the event was the first to leave the start, and as the Tournament Director counted down, competitors would pedal off until the final angler headed out to their preferred location.
FORSTER RECORD SET
In the past Hobie Fishing Series tournaments have regularly featured in Forster, however, this weekend 86 anglers entered the tournament topping the previous record of 71 entries set back in 2016. The excellent turnout follows the amazing 102 anglers who competed in round one of the series at Bemm River, VIC at the start of the season.
HICKSON TAKES THE WIN
Port Macquarie, NSW angler Kris Hickson was the only competitor to move into the 4 kilo plus range, over the weekend, which saw him take the win. Hickson?s day one bag (3-bream bag-limit each day) was the clear standout of the event at 2.71kgs and with the day two bag he brought back to the weigh-in, although much lighter at 1.66kgs, was still enough for his 6-fish aggregate of 4.37kgs to snatch the win. Hickson took home a sizeable cash payout of $2500.00 for his weekend on the water in his Hobie Revolution 13.
?With the wind forecast to be SSE, I made the decision to head into the wind first and enjoy the slow drift back to the event weigh in site. I mainly fished in shallow water over the flats using top water lures most of the day to secure my bag limits?, said Hickson, who had not been feeling well coming into the tournament.
He thought his lack of preparation may have seen him out of contention. ?The way I was feeling, I was hoping, but not confident of being in the top ten, but I was absolutely stoked to take out the event?.

ALLEN – MR CONSISTENT
Glenn Allen the NSW Central Coast took out second place with consistent bags each day. Day one?s bag of three bream was 1.98kg, while his day two bag was 1.90kg giving him a total weight of 6 fish for 3.88kg.
?I found big fish on pre-fish day, on Friday, at the top of the lake, in Charlotte Bay. However, it was a two hour journey each way, so four hours of my day was just getting to and from my spot was a lot to ask. But I made the call early on Saturday morning to head back up there and it paid off! The same for Sunday, I did the miles to get the smiles?, said Allen.
