Extremely poor weather conditions spoiled another fishing weekend. Because of heavy seas there were no deep sea fisherman this weekend, in fact, we only had two brave souls that ventured onto the water at all. Rudi Bochdal and Tom Ahling. Between them they caught 11 fish weighing a total of 8.9kilo.

Rudi caught 9 fish weighing 8.3kilo, including the Jewie which he won heaviest fish for and a good Flathead. He captured Mens Estuary and Heaviest catch. Tom with 2 fish at 600 grams received estuary runner up. The mystery fish was a Snapper which obviously was not caught.

The next Weigh In will be on Sunday 28th June and lets hope that much better weather prevails.

If you have a boat… why leave it in the shed? Once a month take it out and have some fun. We need more fisherman and there is some good prize money. Below is a list of prize money awarded.

1. Heaviest total catch - $25
2. Heaviest Fish - $25
