Despite challenging swell and weather conditions, the 2021 Albany Salmon Spectacular was a great success with more than 120 fishers – many of who competed in family teams – taking part in the inaugural competition.
Held over the Easter long-weekend, competition was fierce at the event, organised in partnership with Western Angler and Albany Boating and Fishing Club, as fishers vied for the thousands of dollars-worth of prizes on offer.
Tamara’s team takes top-prize
Ultimately, Team Taylor – comprised of Tamara Boyle, her son Jindy Boyle, mother Lesley Boyle and brother Russell Taylor – won the overall prize for the longest two combined salmon.
After posting a 166cm total with an 85cm salmon and 81cm salmon, the four team members walked away with four whopping prize packs, each boasting a value of $850, featuring:
- 10ft Shimano Colt Sniper rod;
- Shimano Saragosa 5000 reels;
- Halco Tackle lure packs;
- Western Angler subscriptions; and,
- $50 Trailblazers voucher.
