Capt'n’s Log: MARCH - When the Runoff Turned Wild
March didn’t just keep us busy, it threw everything at us. Rising waters, quick turnarounds, shifting locations… and somehow, the rods still bent. Here’s what went down. Runoff Chaos (The good kind) If there’s one word for Jayson’s March—it’s HECTIC. The runoff has been firing, but not without its challenges. One standout moment? Navigating the Mary River Bridge with clients while floodwaters were rising fast! Getting everyone across just before it was officially closed. Tigh

Between tool belts, wedding bells, and a cheeky new drop, this month’s been a blast! ⚒️ Back on the Tools Let’s start with Jays, who’s swapped the fishing rod for the toolbelt (for now). He’s been back on the tools with his brothers at Doonplumb & Doonspark over in Yarrawonga. The mullet’s been tucked under the hat in quite a feral ‘ponytail’ - much to his brothers disgu
