FISHING REPORT

There have been some good catches of Whiting out the front of the Boatshed Precinct with plenty of smiles all round.

The largest fish and the biggest smile this season so far was caught and worn by Josh Johnston.  A huge Snapper which weighed in at 24lb 8oz is presently at the taxidermist.

(Maybe it could be displayed at the long table lunch on the fishing competition weekend.)

CONGRATULATIONS JOSH
