Ranger's Review:      
      
Cold and windy weather most days has deterred anglers, but the conditions improved on      
Tuesday for the LEXUS match which saw some of the best anglers in the country catch      
plenty of fish, quite a few taking a catch limit of 10 fish, giving an average for the day of 3.9.  
The local HFA club fished on Sunday for an average of 3.4.  There has been a good hatch    
of large Black Buzzers but most fish are still being taken deep on Boobies.  With another      
delivery of fish due this coming week, prospects are looking good.
