With a number of Kingfish being caught recently (Des Hunt plus others) this weekend will score you a $100.00 voucher from Gun City if you can land a fish of 85cm or greater the longest fish will take home our jackpot prize, At time of writing the forecast is predicting that a local fish may be the best bet, but time will tell.

A new year and a new jackpot, thanks to Chris from the fishing division of Gun City our jackpot fish is now a Kingfish of 85cm or greater, a fantastic result given the number of kingfish having been caught in the bay over the past couple of weeks.
After Jamie catching that impressive smoothound and taking home $300.00 the jackpot pool is now starting afresh with a $50.00 Gun City + Fishing shop voucher, good luck

Field Weekend Five, generously sponsored by Rockgas HB was our annual Ham’s Weekend. 37 Angler’s fished in conditions that improved as the weekend progressed, with 80 fish crossing the scales.
The weekend proved to be one of standouts, with 10 pin fish being weighed, the Jackpot fish was caught and a new Trevally club record falling for the second time in a month.
The Jackpot went to new member Jamie Wire for his 7.31kg SSH. This was also a pin fish. The Club Record Trevally of 3.89kg was caught by James Benge, also a pin. Other pins went to Kane, with four pin Trevally and a pin Gurnard. Kevvy and Dion also scored pin Trevally. Karim rounded out the pin fish caught with a SSH. Awesome effort by all these guys.
Field Weekend Six is the first of the new year, kicking off on Saturday 16th January, normal times and boundaries apply.
Merry Christmas to all, stay safe and tight lines

This weekends Gun City + Fishing jackpot has reached a new high, at $300.00 it has bettered Jimmy’s, (2018) Kane’s (2019) and Roy’s (2020) best of $250.00 each.
The heaviest trunked smoothound over 5kg will takeaway the Gun City + Fishing jackpot made up of cash & vouchers
I’m picking it’s going to jackpot again but prove me wrong, it got close last field weekend with Matty T 4.66kg and Kane 4.72kg going so so close.
Good Luck

Due to the weather conditions we have decided to postpone our xmas BBQ today. Forecast is for showers this arvo and a cool south west change so Not wonderful bbq weather.
Reports are that is it already quite cool out that way. We will discuss an alternative solutions at the club meeting.
Thanks Mel.
Field Weekend Four, kindly sponsored by Hunting & Fishing was another hard weekend due to a southerly coming through on the Thursday and Friday. 21 members fished with only 43 fish crossing the scales.
Pleasingly, 26 Gurnard were weighed, but all other species were hard to come by. Pin fish were caught by George with a 1kg Gurnard, Jason C with a solid Blue Moki of 3.43kg and, awesome to see Junior member John Fotu weighing his first pin fish, a Trevally weighing 1.78kg – nice effort John!
Prizes went to, Karim for the heaviest Snapper, Dion with average weight Kahawai, George for the heaviest Gurnard, Jason C for the heaviest ‘Other’ and John taking out the Junior prize for his Trevally.
Once again, the Jackpot fish, a SSH over 5kg alluded everyone with Kane getting painfully close with his SSH of 4.72kg.
Field Weekend Five is our Ham’s Weekend, kicking off on Friday 4th December at 6pm. Entry of $10 per rod needs to be paid to Mel prior to start time.
As always, get out and support our generous sponsors.
