FISHING CLUB : Fishing News December ‘08

On Sunday 30th Oct. Shoalhaven Heads Sports and Social/ Fishing Club held their October and Christmas Weigh In.Johncraneeating The food was wonderful. Ham as good as you would ever taste and lovely greens, rice and garden salads prepared by the ladies of the club were delicious. As can be seen by John Crane (right) feeding his face. June Franks made a Rumbaba pudding which has now become famous in The Heads and anyone who tasted it will tell you it is sensational, so contact June and she will supply the recipe.As far as the fishing was concerned, it was a pretty good weekend with 95 fish being caught, weighing in at 44.94 kilo. Jim and Patricia Webster fished the river, however, halfway up the river they blew their motor up and had to row back. Everything wasn’t lost as Jim caught 2 fish for .340 kilo. They tried to get an oarsman award but could get no support. Same wasn’t so for Rudi and Colleen Bochdal. Rudi caught a 2.18 Jewfish which won him the heaviest fish. He caught 26 fish at 14.2 kilo winning him Mens Estuary and the heaviest catch.Rudysjewey
