October 2025: Weather Surprises!
The forecast was for some fairly unsettled condition offshore over the weekend of the 18th and 19th October, but even after the storm on the Friday evening, it ended up being less uncomfortable than predicted! Numbers were down due to the forecast as well as a few members away Whilst no stonkers were landed, the catch from those that ventured out indicates there are still plenty of beaut pan sized fish around.
4 boats signed in over Saturday and Sunday, with most venturing our Sunday. 8 members participated with a total of 52 fish caught measuring a total of nearly 22 metres.
Anthony ‘Mulloway Whisperer’ Flicker rocked again with a good mulloway for the third month in a row! His 880 mm mulloway landed him winner for both the ‘Longest Other Species’ category as well as the ‘Mystery Fish’ for the month! Bill Greene again captured a good feed of flathead as well as a full bag of snapper. However, ever consistent Martyn Barry got the best snapper of the day ((605 mm) with his grandson Matthew Judd running up (530 mm) as well as securing longest flathead (565 mm) and best Teraglin (535 mm). Looking forward to you whooping you Grandad soon Matthew!
Winner on the day however, was Lex Court with a total 345.38 points from 16 fish measuring just over 7 metres overall.
