Mad Aussie Dave's weather was cursed by Grant

Our Down-under buddy Dave from Aussie land has just had his first fishing competition of the season & heres what he said -

Hi Fellas, The comp has been and gone, only placed 84 out of about 140 with about ten teams not recording a fish for three days fishing. Grant's weather curses must be a bit erratic over distance. Day 1 was a shocker with 25knot + northerly for the morning - with an almost immediate swing to the south east and increased wind speed at lunch time. Day 2 was good in the morning, the afternoon was galeforce northely and day 3 started at about 10 knots and got to 25+ by finish. For most of the time wind was against the tide, in all we covered about 120 miles on the water in my boat and struggled to find fish.
Many of the competitors recording their worst result ever. Over 3000 fish were caught and released over the 3 days of the competition.
The boat has been running great and I have absolute faith in it, I got my first mangrove jack of the season two weeks ago and missed two at the comp. One beast broke me off on 30 pound test line - not bad for an estuary species, my fishing partner missed the other and sat ther with a stunned look on his face at the sheer speed and ferocity of the buggars.
