Weekly Fishing Report

23/07/2004 to 25/07/2004

Hi to all the old members and new members for the current fishing year. We as a club have just had our first fishing comp for the year. Ela Motors sponsored the first comp and the completion was held over three days 23-07-2004, 24-07-2004 and 25-07-2004.

As the weighmaster, I hung around the gantry and the radio room for most of the weekend. Supporting the boats that were out on the water braving the weather and trying to catch fish.

This report has the boats that entered a capture certificate for the weekend. But not to forget that there were many more boats out there having ago. There were 79 anglers all together and 24 boats out on the water for the weekend.
