long weekend rotto - report

Me and my brother (milsey) decided it was time for a trip to rotto. We hoped the weather would hold up on the week end which did happen. Headed across
Mid-day and wanted to start small so headed to swirl to try our luck on some big Skippy but they wouldn’t really play ball.
