Fishing

The Small Boats weekend 5, 6 and 7th May at Greenwell Point went ahead, the seas were calm and fishing conditions perfect. All who went enjoyed a great few days catching fish and telling their stories when they discussed their day over a meal and a drink at the local bowling club.

The trip in May saw a slow day with very high winds out of Kiama. We fished initially at 80 meters with only a few fish being caught due to not being able to hold bottom even with the regulation one pound sinker. The skipper brought the boat in closer to 50 meters, again only a few fish brought in so we moved to the 40 meter mark. Unfortunately, the conditions were the same, not able to hold bottom, the current was not on the side of the anglers.

We fished until 1:00pm with all bringing home some fish so overall a good day. The catch consisted of 17 Morwong, 6 Snapper, 6 Leather Jacket, 9 Pig Fish, 1 Maori Wrasse, 5 Sergeant Baker, and 25 Sweep. The biggest fish a Morwong at 1.06 kgs caught by Fong (Charlie) Looi, the biggest bag went to Anand (Senior) Naidoo with 2.9 kgs, well done boys.

With reduced numbers the June trip still went ahead. The weather was good; the sea was flat and calm meaning we were able to fish at 70 meters. A number of anglers bagged out on Morwongs. This means they caught the maximum allowed of that species.

The catch consisted of 55 Morwong, 24 Snapper, 12 Pig Fish, 2 Flathead, 1 Maori Wrasse, 9 Sergeant Baker and 5 Sweep. A good haul! The biggest fish was a Morwong at 1.15kg caught by Steve Sakaluk and the biggest bag went to Anand (Senior) Naidoo at 10.84kgs.

Fishing is improving with the skipper continuing to take us to all the right drop points where we are all but guaranteed fish, we have a great time on the water, with bait dropped as we wait anxiously for that bite.

If you are interested or would like to know more about the Went Fishing Sub-Club, we meet every second Wednesday at 6pm in the Sports Bar, come along and meet some members.

Till next tide

Golf

Welcome once again from The Wenty Leagues Social Golf Club. The weather is getting a bit chilly, but our members are soldiering on and enjoying their golf as usual. Our first COW round was completed at Glenmore Park on 2 April. Sixteen players progressed to the second round which was completed at Penrith on 21 May and we are now down to eight lucky players for our third round which will take place at Highlands Golf Club in picturesque Mittagong.

Congratulations also to Ryan Payne who won the jackpot hole at Penrith on the third hole. I was in a group with Dominic Scali at Studley Park when a rare event for him occurred, he took a Divot and was over the moon, it was an excellent shot by the way and many more of them to come.

The results for the Leagues Club Cup that was originally scheduled to be played at Camden Lakeside on 30 April but was rescheduled for Penrith on 21 May due to inclement weather were as follows:

A Grade Winner: Ryan Payne

Runner-up: Charlie Ghaleb

B Grade Winner: Glen Grant

Runner-up: Tim Fuhrmann

C Grade Winner: Troy Tyson

Runner-up: Bernie Ambrose

The Club’s Stableford championship kicked off at Glenmore Park on 04 June and is played over four consecutive rounds. This wrapped up at Studley Park on 25 June with the following results:

A Grade Winner: Charlie Ghaleb

Runner-up: Ryan Payne

B Grade Winner: Danny Chaiban

Runner-up: Tim Fuhrmann

Well done to everyone who took part.

Lastly, we had two new members join our club since the last report. We are hoping to see more taking the plunge. If you have a spare Sunday, come and join us. We play every Sunday and anyone interested in playing can find our details in the Club Journal, on the Website or on the Sub Club noticeboards in the Club.

Kind Regards. Glen Grant, President
