Strike Pro round 8 of Hobie Kayak Bream Series 10 was contested on the Swan River in Western Australia on the October 6 and 7, weekend.
On both days anglers pedalled off from the Power-Pole Starting Line in comfortable conditions, a lack of breeze made fishing a little tougher than some anglers would have liked, although 70% of the competitors caught legal size fish.
A total of 30 fish weighing 15.24kg were brought back to the scales on day one and on day two 27 bream were brought back for 15.18kg, accumulating a two-day total of 57 fish for 30.42kg. The average weight of “the Swan” bream to hit the scales was an excellent 530g.
PHILLIPS FINDS THE FISH
First place in the final WA round of the series went to Western Australian Joshua Phillips who pocketed $810 for his 6 fish, which weighed in at 4.24kg. Phillips was leading at the finish of day one after he had his bag of 3 bream in the well between 8:30-9:00am.
On day two he employed the same strategy used on day one heading upstream, but Phillips coved a little more water than he had done on the previous day. He hit every snag he came across and threw at every likely looking piece of bank throughout the day. Phillips found that day two catches were a little more spread out than on day one, with his total legal, fish catches limited to just three (enough to fill his bag) and coming on board about every hour or so from 8:00-11:00am. He had dropped a couple of big fish in the snags, in that period, and was worried those misfortunes had lost him the tournament. Nevertheless, in the end he was glad to get the three in his livewell that were fat enough to win him the round.

GRIESDORF GETS SECOND
Second Place went to Alex Greisdorf from WA, winning $480 for his 6 fish with a two-day total weighing 4.17kg. Griesdorf had a slow start to the tournament on day one, bringing 3 for 1.23kg to the scales, after finding plenty of fish but struggling to pull them aboard. However, his bag did set him up to take out the Mortgage Corp Monster Mover prize pack with an excellent improvement on day two with 3 for 2.94kg after catching around 30 legals throughout the session.
Among his catch was the largest fish of the tournament, the $100 Atomic Big Bream, a 1.33kg bruiser caught on day two and which saw Greisdorf take nearly 5 (heart stopping) minutes to land using a zMan Slim Swimz in motor oil with a 1/12 TT Headlox jighead on 3lb FC straight through and one of his custom Duff rods.
