Callum Dicks toughed it out in Arctic conditions to finish top of the pile in the 2010 White Acres Garbolino/Mosella Festival.
Following on from his 2008 victory and 5th place last year Callum Dicks has once again re-claimed his title and is our White Acres Garbolino/Mosella festival champion 2010.
All the chaps that have fished this year deserve a medal for fishing in conditions like we have never seen down here before – although those of them from further a field are more used to breaking the ice where as it is a rarity for us down here.
Taking all things into consideration with the weather and having to change the pegging last minute it has turned out to be another great and nail biting festival with a number of anglers tied on results and dropped points so it had to go to weight to get the overall positions.
Many thanks to our sponsors Garbolino’s Darren Cox and Mosella’s Vic Bush for their prizes and for Darren presenting the prizes at the presentation.
Again thank you and congratulations to all of the anglers that fished (especially those who stuck out the full five days) and well done again to this years top three winners Callum Dicks (Maver), Lee Edwards (Preston Innovations) and our very own Clint Elliott (Preston Innovations).
We hope the extreme weather hasn’t put the anglers off to much as we are already looking forward to next years festival but ice breakers will definitely be allowed next year!
Thank you all once again and to all our anglers and web supporters we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
