Fishing Mounties
Over the year of the fishing season, fish caught are then weighed and respective points are allocated depending on the species. All weigh-ins are done back at shore by the trip captains. The trip captains are volunteers making sure all club trips run smoothly and all points recorded.
The members of the Mounties Fishing Club would like to thank all trip captains for their contributions over the year. Congratulations to the following champions showing that their fishing skills excel in getting such a high achievement:

A special mention to Rifet Hadzic in continuing to keep reign of the Club Championship title. A big thank you to Bill Razmovski with after 22 years he has retired as Club Captain, he has placed a large amount of his time organizing people and trips and helping to create the memories we still talk about today. With some very large shoes to fill we welcome Neil Joseph as the Club Captain with Nino Cucchiaro as Assistant Club Captain. Ranking points are calculated using 8 of the best scores over the course of 12 months, commitment in attending fishing trips every month is key in achieving high scores. Congratulations to all who attended fishing trips, even though you may not be in the top 10 you have contributed in making the Mounties Fishing Club one of the best.
The 2019 – 2020 Fishing season in now underway, we have had a good start to the year giving us reasonable sea conditions and already some visits from Whales, Dolphins and Seals with some good catches or Snapper and Morwong. As we start to move into the warmer months, we should see the fish start head back to our warmer waters and we should see some good catches!
