Re: Top Stick Castaic results

I think the weights are very close when you look. It took 10.00 even just to get 17th. place. There were a lot of bucks up shallow and the bigger fish were hard to come by this day. Also if you look there were a lot of limits taken by teams. That to me is a good showing for Castaic.
