Alliman Shield – 2014 December – Gunnamatta & End of Year

It dawned a beautiful day last Sunday for the last competition for the year The Alliman Shield – 2014 December. 59 divers gathered at the pavillion at Gunnamatta bay looking forward to the days competition. Little did they know as the were putting up the channel that the diving conditions would be very ordinary indeed with very dirty water, a sloppy Nor-east swell, cold water and a scarcity of fish (You were the smart one Trippey).

A few fish came in the pick being:

Alliman dec 02
Two nice Kingfish by the SSD boys Zack Dredge & Adam O’Neill with 10kg & 14kg respectively

 

The St George boys redeemed themselves with ‘No Tears’ getting a nice trevally of 1.37kg

It was impressive to see the bay full of boats and the boat start was as usual spectacular including a jet ski crew that were dumped in the water!
