Local monthly comp 22nd August 2009

Competition Report

 

Our sponsor this month is the ever reliable IGA Supermarket. Thanks to Wayne and staff.

 

And thanks to the Kalbarri RSL for their $50.00 meritorious voucher given out each comp.

 

A big turn out this month with a few new members making their mark. A fairly good day out in the ocean for the boaties for a change but a cold night with possible showers made it challenging for the land based and river section.

 

Martin Stewart and Dylan Ivey were the only two junior anglers that wet a line with Martin scoring with a single fish of .526grams to win the junior section. Gary Ivey did well with 4 live bream and Di Stewart had 2 live bream and a second species, but Brett Bain fished his secret spot again landing 4 fish of two species to give him the extra points to win the senior section. Brett also had the biggest bream so far for the year at .814grams.

 

 

Welcome back to Daniel and Simon Tarasek who don’t fish too many comp due to their working away commitments, so it was good to see you guys at the weigh-in. Simon had 2 pink snapper caught in the land based section, one of them a respectable 3.66kgs. Ashley Van Viersen also fished showing a 3.317gk mulloway that is the biggest for the year as well as a 1.529kg tailor also the biggest for the year. Daniel Tarasek only had one fish but weighing in at 16.148kg, his samson won the section for him.

 

 

3 boats in the under 7.5m section all did very well. Craig Gibson aboard “Jo Jo” with team mate Russell Page landed 11 fish between them, which included pink snapper, skippy and cod. Nik Bramwell fished with Junior Beau Ivey aboard “Hurricane” also landing pink snapper, skippy and the biggest samson fish for the year for Nik weighing in at 16.189 beating Daniel’s samson fish by .04 of a kg!

 

 

Beau Ivy’s won the junior under 7.5 bottom section with his great haul of pink snapper with the bigger one weighing 5.114kgs the biggest for the year.

 

Graeme Black aboard “South Bound” with new member Ian Bursnell had three fish each including pink snapper, and the biggest baldchin groper for the year at 1.45kgs.

 

At the end of the count, Nik Bramwell had the numbers taking the senior section.

 

Only one boat in the over 7.5m section this month, which was Laurie Malton with Jason Agrela and son Jared, back from boarding school for the week end. They fish far and wide, missing the big ones but still had 8 fish.

 

Jared had the better catch of a small dhuie and big red throat emperor among his 3 fish wining the junior section while Jason’s samson fish, pink snapper and red throat won the section for him, Laurie recorded the
biggest red throat emperor for the year.

 

 

Beau Ivey took home the RSL Meritorious voucher of $50.00 for his big snapper, Mystery Fish went to Ashley van Viersen for his tailor and Jason Agrela won the restaurant draw again.

 

 

Next event is a monthly comp on the 19th September followed by the very popular Kids Whiting Comp 1st and 8th October in the school holidays.
