MAY 19th COMPETITION RESULTS

A strong river section again this month with 14 anglers catching 13 fish, all of them bream kept live to be returned to the river.

The beach section and boats were down again, but some outstanding fish were weighed in.

A big thanks to our sponsor this month, Rob from Jakes Bistro who donated five $20.00 vouchers.

Cheryl Eley won the river section with a thumper bluenose among her 3 bream weighing in at 1.368. This will probably be the biggest for the year, but we will have to watch the weigh-ins this year.

Di Stewart had 4 bream, Gary Ivey 3, while John Stewart and Leah Skinner 1 each.

Junior river winner went to Beau Ivey, the only junior to weigh-in, so is off to a good start.

Daniel Tarasek again romped it in for the land based section with 4 big pink snapper and a spangled emperor, easily beating Karen Hartig and Lui Palamara who had 4 garfish each.

Charlie Messina with Tony Smith were out around Baldface but failed to put any fish on board. Same with Bulawayo Buoy with Sue and Laurie Malton and Junior Steven Eley, they tried game fishing but the water was cold and dirty and came home fishless.

New member Nic Bramwell went south of the river mouth fishing from his 4.5m tinny & recorded an outstanding catch of 4 big pink snapper & a big samson. His 6.4kg snapper and 15.25kg sambo are the biggest for the year and will be hard to beat.

Nic made a big splash by winning the RSL Meritorious award of a $50.00 voucher for his snapper and went on to pick up the $20.00 mystery fish voucher as well! The restaurant draw was won by John Stewart and Bill Tolson won the $50.00 worth of scratchies to celebrate his 50th comp fished! Of note to date Di Stewart has fished her 56th comp and juniors, Amy Stewart 43rd and Steven Eley 38th. Daniel Tarasek has fished 44th, and Laurie Malton 78th.

Gary Ivey was the mug of the month after nagging his kids to get out the mud, don’t fall in & stay away from the mud, promptly fell in himself!

Next comp will be on Sat June 23rd.
