Pub vs Club Comp - This Saturday!

The annual Pub vs Club competition will be held this Saturday the 1st February at the Gerringong Bowling Club so dust off the fishing gear and get out there! The weather looks like it is going to be a top day for Saturday with very little wind until later in the afternoon. The weigh in will be at the back of the bowling club at 2pm and a late lunch will follow. It is always a good feed and a great chance to catch up with the bowlo members for a few fishing yarns! See you there....

The Invitational Shoalhaven Heads Classic

This coming weekend the Shoalhaven Heads Bowling and Recreation Club will host the annual Invitational comp and the good news is - we have been invited back again. The comp starts at 6am on Friday the 10th January and the weigh in is on Sunday at 11:30am at the rear of the club. Entry for kids is free and it is $10 an adult to cover the costs of the BBQ lunch.

Comp rules allow fishing between Kiama and Jervis Bay and the bag/size limits are the same as fisheries except for Salmon - only one fish can be weighed and it must be over 55cms. Junior prizes include good quality rod, reel and tackle box combos and the adult prizes are $100 cash each. The are also plenty more encouragement prizes, mystery fish prize, lucky door prize and many other random prizes for those who haven't won one! There will also be prawn, meat and wine raffles on the day too.

It's always a great comp - hope to see you all there!

January Comp - Captain Christie weigh in

The January comp was held last weekend but unfortunately we only had a handful of people catch fish. The kids did better than the adults with a total of 30 fish weighed in. Eddie Stalgis had a good bag of mullet and won the sub juniors beach and rock section. It was then a close one with Tom Cronin and Lori Stalgis both weighing in 5 fish each. The runner up went to Lori with a slightly heavier catch. Nice work Kids!

Now for Men and a total of nine flathead all up, with Paul Cronin just beating his father Terry with a monster 1.525kg sand flathead.

The weigh in was at the Gerringong surf club in line with the presentation for all the champions who did the big ocean swim from boat harbour around to werri, into a good nor-easter too! As usual, we donated all of the fish to the surf club and with some good auctioneering from Cambo we were able to sell off several bags of fresh fish and donate $257 to the surf club. It was probably the quietest one we have ever had for this comp so hopefully we will make up for it next year with a big catch! Thanks to all that helped on the day.

Next meeting is on the 7th January at cronins pub. Hope see you there 7:30pm. Cheers!
