TUROSS HEAD FISHING CLUB NEWSLETTER SEPTEMBER 2015
Over a month into the new fishing year and we have experienced some good and not so good weather but there was still some good fishing to be had. With the weather forecasted to improve later in the week and it being school holidays there will be more people out trying their luck so we should see some good fish at the next Goblet BBQ ‘it’s all about the length’ measure in.
Buckenderra Goblet Weekend
Mark & Lucas Brown 59 cm Brown Trout
The weekend was another great success. The Goblet Fish of course was Trout. It was a family weekend of fun with 15 club members attending including juniors who topped off their weekend with two 59cm Trout. It is a delight to see the juniors out having a go, catching good sized fish and enjoying the competition.
Congratulations to both Ross & Patty Parker for their winning 69.5 and 46cm trouts.
Buckenderra club were excellent hosts with a great time had by all. We hope to see even more members hitting the road to experience the joys of trout fishing in this beautiful area next year.
Michael & Innika Downie, Sam Gschwend, Lucas & Mark Brown
Next Months Goblet
Next month’s Goblet fish is Flathead and with the weather improving we are sure there will be lots of good sized fish to be measured at our next monthly BBQ. Don’t forget in October the time changes from 1pm to 4pm giving you extra fishing time before measuring in your catch. The weekend for Flathead Goblet is 16 18 October 2015. Good Fishing everyone.
Monthly Measure In
The Tuross Head Fishing Club is excited to have new rules governing our fishing competitions. These rules were passed at the 2015 AGM, with a resounding 95% of the voting membership electing to move to a “length” measuring system, rather than weight.
This new system augments a steadily growing ethos within the Club to embrace sustainable fishing practices and encourage the safe release of any caught fish that are not wanted for the table. We firmly believe that our new rules will have a positive impact on the fish stocks of our region, not to mention the fun-levels within the Club on Comp Weekends. All our fishers need to do is correctly photograph their catch on a NSW Fisheries measuring mat (if you don’t have one the club will give you one) and submit that photograph to the Tuross Boatshed/Service station for recording at the scoring table.
You can also bring fish that you want to keep to the scoring stations or the monthly comp and we will measure them for you. Photos can also be submitted online at turossheadfishingclub.org (but not on competition weekends).
