In beach/rock and estuary, with bass, whiting, and jewfish being the target fish for the seniors, the outing very quickly turned into a race for the best bass. Although when Dan Murphy headed for the beach for some whiting, he soon found that there are easier ways to sand blast your car.

Also a good time to remember that when driving on the beach it's a good idea to put your car into 4WD and let some air out of your tyres, otherwise you may have to do a little digging to get yourself moving again. This time for Dan the score was beach and fish 1, Dan 0.

Dan re-grouped and went to the fresh water to find some bass, with his biggest being around 0.400kg.

Pat McInherney also had two bass, his biggest being around 0.450kg. Mick Winchester had two bass and a bream, his biggest bass being around 0.500kg, and his bream around 0.400kg. Donna Riddle caught one bass of around 0.350kg.

With the wind blowing in our current men's and ladies' champions, Mick took the 5 points, with Pat taking 4 points, Dan taking 3 points, and Donna taking the 2 points in the top 5 species point scores, and the points went the same way in the top 5 bag weight point score.

In deep sea/estuary, two of the boys ventured out and came back with some nice fish, with flathead being the order of the day.

Ron (Flathead) Murphy had a nice bag of flathead, with his biggest being around 0.700kg. Terry (Smiley) Hollis also had some flathead, with his biggest being around 0.710kg.

Terry took the 5 points and Ron took the 4 points in the top 5 bag weight.

The members from our club who were selected in the Hastings team to fish in the inter-divisional freshwater competition at Wyangla Dam, held on November 1 and 2, were Graham Lamb, Chris Jackson, Andrew Nee, Lyn Lugg, Grant Lugg and Toby Gardner, who was the captain.

The team of 12 was successful in defending the title and again crowned the champions. Congratulations and well done to the team,

There are reports of Lake Cathie holding good numbers of blue swimmer crabs and some good size whiting being caught on yabbies and poppers, and some nice prawns are about the lake.

Till next time safe travelling, good fishing and tight lines to you all.
