With consistent top
10 finishes this season, Team Honda Marine's Steve Gill has qualified for the 2011
BREAM Grand Final for the third consecutive year.
The ABT tournament
angler has been competing in the east coast bream fishing series for around six
years – the past 18 months powered by Honda.
With a Honda BF150
bolted to the transom of his Haines Hunter ProStrike, Steve said the rig
delivered performance advantages that other engines just couldn't match.
"The
reliability of my Honda outboard is second to none," Steve said.
"With
tournament fishing often involving over 20 hours road travel to attend some
events, I have complete confidence once I'm on the water that I'll be able to
complete the entire tournament without having any engine problems, as is so
often the case with many two-stroke outboards on the circuit.
"The ‘stealth
factor' of the Honda also plays a large part in my success – due to its
ultra-quiet operation, I can sound around for schooled fish in relatively
shallow water without spooking them or having to deploy the electric motor.
"The BF150
effortlessly pushes the ProStrike onto the plane and quickly gets me to where
I'm heading, while the savings due to the miserly fuel consumption are very
substantial over the course of a tournament, let alone a full season.
"While many
competitors have to fuel up after each session, I quite often get away with two
days of tournament fishing without a top up."
Based at Woollamia,
on the NSW South Coast, Steve is Honda's only sponsored ABT tournament angler. In
an arena dominated by two-stroke outboards, he is a valuable member of Team
Honda Marine whose success is testament to both his ability and the products he
chooses to use.
The 2011 Daiwa BREAM
Grand Final will be held in Forster (NSW) in November.
