SALMON MONTH
This weekend’s Goblet was Salmon. The weather was sunny and calm with daytime temperature around 18c, perfect fishing weather, however, no one told the fish as it was quite slow going and not too many caught. With school holidays coming to an end only six anglers entered fish although many more had taken to the water. The six anglers consisted of one Lady and five Men who between them caught 29 fish with only four of them Salmon.
RECORD BREAKING WEEKEND
Three new length records were recorded this weekend, Jeanie Dixon caught a Leatherjacket 45.5cm breaking the existing record held by Bruce Kennedy by 6.9cm but her hold on the record was short lived only to be taken out by Gavin Robinson who caught a 51.7cm Leatherjacket. Gavin also secured the record for Nannygui, catching a 34cm fish, knocking off the existing record held by Mathew Roberts at 31.7cm.
Unfortunately for Jeannie it was not the only record she would lose over the weekend as she was the current record holder for a 39.7cm Gurnard. Rod Federer took care of that, catching 41cm one and securing the new record.
New member Tim Kovacs also secured a new record when he entered the only Groper caught so far this year measuring 48.7cm great going Tim.
SUNDAY BBQ
The measure in BBQ at the Tuross Head Country Club was attended by over 30 people and was catered by Janine Campbell and Tammy Paul who as usual did a fantastic job thank you ladies and big thank you to the men who did a great job of cleaning up. We would also like to thank the many people who help out by bringing something along.
