JUSTIN SCOTT FISHING CLASSIC WRAP UP

The Justin Scott Fishing Classic, held on the Burdekin River, showcased impressive anglers of the Townsville region.

In what has become the first of the Big Barra events of the year, all three of the top teams averaged over the 1m per fish with third place managing 5 fish over a metre which just goes to show just how tight it was at the top.  519cm is only 8cm short of the 527cm Bag from International Stars Carl Jocumsen and Jeff Gustafson from the Bassmaster Elite series in the US competing the ABT Tournament series  on Peter Faust Dam a known big Barra Tournament location so that result in a wild fishery is out of this world.
