A decent turnout for last weekend’s Gosford RSL Fishing Club Competition with 12 anglers wetting a line.
Top rod on the day was Adam Overton on a massive 343.6 points with Samar Singh Panwar second on the day with 125.25 points and Larry Prior third with 122.9 points.
Top Junior was Hayden on 81.2 points.
Dave Brown won the Lucky Angler prize.
The tough weather conditions made for a low turn out for last weekends competition (4 anglers) with only Dave Brown managing to catch fish. A decent bag of Blackfish got him 89.4 points
Lucky Angler prize went to Antony Wardle which means he can buy some fish to make up for the fact he couldn’t catch any.
The nice weather led to a decent turnout for last weekends competition with some good fish and weights.
Top rod on the day was Stephen Tait with 205.1 points, runner up was Adam Overton on 161.7 and third place went to Craig Ashton with 119.0 points (Assume he outfished his boat captain again)
Top lady on the day was Noon on 103.4 points
The days Lucky Angler prize went to John Hatcher which was probably some consolation after being outfished by his deckie again
It was a good turn out for the last competition with 15 members weighing in. Top score for the comp was a regular winner Adam Overton with 234.4 points followed by Dave Brown with 131.2 points and Craig Ashton on 78.2 points.
Best lady on the day was Noon with 122.8 points and the Junior competition was won by Auden O’Connor on 40.8 points
The weather was good and there were quite a few fisho’s out there trying to catch fish but Noon outdid them all scoring 212.5 points and easily beating her captain Kevin Timbrell on the day.

Hi,
This coming weekend we have the first of our biannual competitions against the Bateau Bay Hotel Fishing Club.
The updated Competition Rules and Species Size & Bag Limits sheets are attached.
A few things you should be aware of
1. We will not be using the Terrace Area of the RSL for the weigh-in as previously.
2. The weigh-in will be held in the glassed-in area (smoker’s area) off the club’s auditorium (or Coral Room). This area has doors opening onto the paved area at the main entrance to the RSL Club. When facing the club entrance door the doors to the weigh-in area are just to the left.
3. You may leave your Esky outside the weigh-in area doors, enter the RSL to sign-in, make your way to the weigh-in area internally, open the doors and retrieve your Esky. The RSL discourages carrying Eskies through the club.
4. Lunch will be a sit down affair prepared by the RSL staff and will be served in the Coral Room. Lunch will be served from 1:30pm.
5. If you are unable to attend the weigh-in due to work commitments or other reasons you can have someone else weigh your fish in for you. I have confirmed with BBHFC that this “proxy weigh-in” practice is acceptable.
Please remember that:
1. Your catch must be in the weigh-in area prior to 2:00pm.
2. If you need to check the size of any of your fish do so prior to placing your catch in the weigh-in area.
3. Each angler’s catch must be in separate Eskies.
The last time we fished this competition we were soundly trounced. Hopefully the outcome this weekend will be in our favour.
