14 May 2012

The new Club Car Park work will start on Monday 7 May 2012. The area directly around the proposed new car park will be fenced off as of this Monday. This will include a fence in the top car park for excavation work to take place. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the rest of our Team we apologise for any inconvenience. The work should take 11 weeks and we are aiming to be completed before the Speed Boat Racing on 15 July 2012. Once again we are very sorry and we hope that the long term gain will out way short term pain.

Fishing Club Report 6 May

Old Fisho’s tales and Superstition still hold true. Sunday’s full moon and a strong west/souwestly certainly turned the fish off.

Only four boats decided to test the myth in the bay, and even Leo could not land a legal fish to weigh in.

However Kenda landed 2 Numbfish and fortunately did not feel their wrath. These fish are endemic to Australian waters and are found on sand and mud bottoms in shallow bays and estuaries,

The Numbfish can deliver powerful electric shocks with an electric organ located in each pectoral fin. This organ is used to shock crabs, worms and fishes, which make up the Numbfish’s diet or the unsuspecting fisherman.

Greg C made the day, venturing out to open waters and the 2 metre swell to land this 1 kilo plus Leatherjacket, this could well be a trophy winning fish. Greg is batching at the moment and still did a great job on lunch.

Here is Roy and Steve showing one of their many Barra catches from their NT trip.

Last fishing day of the year is Sunday 20th May and is Tournament Day, so lets make it a great last day, bait up and see you there.

Sunday 29th April

This was not a day to consider fishing, 20 to 25 Knot winds predicted and it did not disappoint.

El Presedente and Weigh Master Brian on “True Blue” and Kevin with visitor Steve on “Finatical” were the only two

boats game enough to venture out.

The catch was one fish to Chris a 400 gm Trevally, to small for the photo Chris. However Steve landed a Flathead and was quite please as we can see by the look on his face.

With only two competition days left. 6th and 20th May, we are all hoping there will be better weather ahead.

Meanwhile on a happy note Andy, Steve and Roy, have just returned from a week aboard the “Iron Lady” on the Roper River. We will have a report to give and to be sure a tail or two to tell next week.

Fingers crossed we will be able to bait up next week see you all then.

Sunday 15th April

What a day, probably the best day for fishing we have seen this summer, the highlights were 33 Kg Fish caught in total and an amazing 11 different species.

The new boy on the block, Kevin Clarke, comes in with a total catch of 8 fish, 5.45 Kg and 3 species. Kevin proudly displaying his 1.35 Kg Morwong. But he was not the only lucky one today.

Roy Keen also had 8 eight fish, 3 species totaling 5.4 Kg. that’s Roy kneeling with his catch and a beaut 1.55 Kg Flathead. He was disappointed that he did not win the raffle – what a hide!

Leo had a visitor with him today and guess what the visitors landed the biggest Flathead at 1.55 Kg, he is not being invited again.

Other notable catches were Andy with a 1.3 Kg Morwong, Frank with 8 good size Taylor and Greg with a unique Puffer Fish for his fish tank at home. Did we tell you that 2 comps ago Greg lost a good Trevally that was flapping on the deck to a opportunist Pelican, true just ask him.

Great tucker today from Frank & Jose, missed last comp report and Frank’s Kebobs, they were terrific as usual.

Bait up and see you in 2 weeks.

Sunday 18th March

Weather – Force 8 – Seas 14 metres.

Not quite but another day only for the die hards. Four boats decided the points were there for the taking.

Steve landed one bream, Chris one flathead, Brian fished with Kevin from Marine Rescue, making his debut with the club, for zilch.

Frank made the catch of the day with a trevally and a flathead.

In rear of picture is Kevin, this is the proof needed for the better half that he really did fish and not just visit the bar.

Any way a total of 3 kilos were landed, the BBQ was a better result with delicious Kebabs courtesy of Megan, perfectly cooked by El Presedante.

Any way it has got to better so bait up and see you all in 2 weeks
Best regards Alex
