FISH WEIGHT COMPETITIONS If you are a member and “have caught the big one” have it weighed! The club has competitions running throughout the year. To enter the competitions, weigh tickets must be presented to the Weigh master. Our major competition is for the Heaviest Fish. The weight of the heaviest fish I a nominated list of species is recorded for the period from 1 July to 30 June. There are four categories in this competition: Men, Ladies, Boys and Girls. The angler who catches the heaviest fish in a species in each category during the year receives a trophy at our presentation night. The angler from any category who catches the largest number of heaviest fish is awarded the club champion trophy.

Also form within this competition, one fish is selected by the committee in each of the categories (Men, Ladies, Boys and Girls) each year for

the Most Meritorious Fish award.

The second competition is our Fish of the Month competition. This competition has three categories, Men, Ladies and Juniors. At the beginning

of the year, a nominated species of fish is chosen for each month as the fish of the Month. The list is published in the Newsletter and on the

Website. In any month, the angler submitting a weigh ticket for the heaviest nominated fish in a category is awarded a cash prize.

The angler with the heaviest fish is also awarded 3 points, the angler with the next heaviest fish receives 2 points, and all angles submitting a

weigh ticket for the species of the month receive 1 point. Points are tallied throughout the year and an All Rounder Award is presented to the

angler scoring the highest number of points by the end of the year, for Seniors (from Men and Ladies) and for Juniors (from Boys and Girls).

PRESIDENTS REPORT AUGUST 2016

New committee members are Emma Field, Louise Cochrane and Corey

Walker, and Val Cartledge has stepped into the very important position of Sponsorship Co-

ordinator. Val will be looking for help, not only from committee members but from you members

as well. Another change will see the return of Gordon Rugg as Weigh Master following Rod`s

decision to stand down. Thanks Rod for your two years in the position. For the full committee

list see page 2.

Found a Treasurer : In a huge boost for us Matt Jorgensen our local Commonwealth Bank

manager has taken up the position. Matt, his wife Stacy and children Jack Ava and Flynn have

been members for a while but we have seen little of them we hope that changes now.

Rebecca Hinson with

Logan, gets her trophy

The Junior Boys section was dominated by the Carson boys with Flynn and Lachlan taking out 10

of the 18 fish. Harley Walker Dillon Anderson and James Janson shared the rest. Alanna

Paterson took home the big trophy for the girls, Emma Inge the only other winner in the girls

section. The inaugural Measure and release Bream competition winner was Andrew Carson with

a 39 cm to fork of tail stud Bream. They took home a nice few awards the Carson mob!

And so it all starts again, Fritz has come off the blocks hard, after his disappointing effort in

the snapper month, and the Carson boys have got Pop hop`n as the fishweight sheet will

indicate. On a recent Trout fishing trip their father offered up $20 for the biggest Trout

they could catch thinking that Trout were not that easy to come by.. No trouble for the boys

though he was rapidly relieved of his cash.

Fish of the month July: While all of the good Drummer fisher persons were lolling around in

the sun in Queensland, sly old Bobnalong saw an opportunity to win twenty bucks so he snuck out

to North Head and plucked out a little Drummer to win the prize. Tally up the cost of burley,

.

Hi all,

The AGM is now behind us and we are off and running for the next year

with all committee positions taken up at the AGM except the important

one of Treasurer. We hope to find one soon

Treasurer. .

Alanna Paterson

Best Girl Angler

AGM & Awards Presentations : These were dominated by the usual

culprits, Gordon Rugg was the most successful male angler and Club

Champion. Jenny Rugg landed the most species for the ladies while

Gloria Sebley went very close to taking out the Championship showing

that it is very possible that one of the fairer gender will one day take

out the top award. Over all the ladies performed extremely well

catching the best of six of the species list and going very close in a

few others. We have the Gender Bender coming up so take note guys!





a couple of lost floats and other bits & pieces and petrol for a thirsty V6 and the result lends

weight to the suggestion that it`s time we looked at upping the prize.

Fish of the month September, Trevally. This kicks off the Estuary fishing season and while

it could still be cool, enthusiasts will begin to get the urge for the weeks ahead .

New Members: The committee welcomes new members Aidan Death, his partner Samantha

and sons Ethan & Lachlan and another new member David Tweedale who is getting his boat

tuned up and we might see him around soon.

First meeting: A full table sat in what was a productive meeting but time ran out before we

reached the end of a long agenda. One priority item that was not addressed was the review of

fish of the month prizes. This will top the list next meeting.

Calendar of events: This chewed up much time, there is much to consider. There is an

expectation of changes especially in the second half of it. We are open to suggestions.

Mallacoota: Karbeethong lodge is booked for Friday & Sat 25th & 26th of November, there

are 10 rooms available 3 have four beds 1 of these has room for an extra one. The rest sleep

2, all except one have ensuites. The cost is yet to be finalized but a deposit of $100 will

secure a room. If Karbeethong fills up there is alternative accommodation at the nearby

Mudbrick Holiday Units . Found a shortcut to them last year. Ring Bob to book on 64963585

Fishing report : Some boats are bringing in a few Flathead but they are generally scarce.

There are some good Mowies about but Snapper are also hard to find. It is a bit early for the

rivers yet but a few Bream are being caught in the Mallacoota system already and this should

fire up in the coming weeks. The beaches to the North are giving up Salmon if that is your

thing. Local game fishers are enjoying a run of large Bluefin Tuna with fish up to and above

100 kg landed about 60 km out I think.

If you are going out there and doing it tough, hang in it will get better. If you are sitting at

home grumbling you can`t be helped.

This will be my last newsletter as Editor, Emma will be

taking over taking over so there may be less errors in future.

So there may be less errors n future

Happy fishing, hope to see you at the Aug 27th BBQ.

Remember these ladies, Di looks chuffed with this catch of King George whiting and

Pat is Proud of her first Barra, a very nice 83cm specimen.

John and Di are around Perth somewhere and grizzling about the weather while Wayne
