Men’s winner was Jimmy Ashby 2.48kg including a nice tailor of 1.4kg. Ladies winner was Vicki 3

Leather Jackets plus a Bream and the Junior winner was Mitch Mac with 12.7 kg of Grouper Drummer.

Blue water was won by Gav Mac with17.96 of Grouper Drummer. A small but enthusiastic gathering at the club on Sunday saw outing captain Shaun award meat trays to Neil, Vicki and the raffle was won by a non fishing, Club member schooners going to Gav and Jimmy.

A story was told to me about a bloke who set up a new trolley to fish off the wall at Harrington.

The maiden trip of the trolley saw it been dragged down the rocks by rampaging Jewfish, much to the horror of the proud owner.

After retrieving a banged up trolley, the owner lost the jewie. Better luck next time or maybe weigh the trolley down with a slab.

Apparently there is going to be an ICAC investigation into the awarding of the meat trays, but our President is doing his best to stall the investigation till he catches a few more. I will keep everyone updated on how this situation unfolds.

Dates to be put on the calendars include:

Glenbawn inter challenge September 19, 20 and 21.

This is the only trophy that we don’t hold at the moment, so a good roll up is needed to fish in this event.

Presentation November 1, at the Bowling Club.

Nelson Bay invitational team event November 7, 8 and 9.

Charity Fishing Event November 22 invitation only, club teams and workers are needed to ensure that this event is a success again.

Until next month, remember Sushi is really only bait waiting for a hook - by Off His Perch.
