The first month of spring has allowed for a record number of entries in the September ＦＩＳＨ ＯＦ ＴＨＥ ＭＯＮＴＨ competition, a couple of spells of very decent weather inviting anglers to do their thing offshore, reef, shoal, inshore and estuary.75 🅴🅽🆃🆁🅸🅴🆂 showcased just 15 🆂🅿🅴🅲🅸🅴🆂 with multiple catches of barramundi, Spanish mackerel, largemouth nannygai and coral trout making up the bulk of the entries.Choosing a winner is never an easy task, the September comp no different with quality submissions by both Junior and Senior anglers. 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 Our youngest anglers fished well, Addy Mitchell catching a whopping 85cm nannygai, Alex Musumeci an 83cm barra from the Rollingstone Caravan Park stocked ponds, Archie Burns and Bella Jones a couple of big grunter or javelin fish, Lachlan Groves a pair of coral trout and Archie Clothier a plucky little barramundi on flyfishing tackle – among a bunch of great entries.But, it was a first time barramundi catch for 𝗠𝗔𝗗𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗡 𝗟𝗜𝗣𝗣𝗜𝗧𝗧that has earned her the 𝕁𝕌ℕ𝕀𝕆ℝ 𝕎𝕀ℕℕ𝔼ℝ title of the September comp. Supreme Chief Judge Pat admitted that picking a winner in the junior comp was as difficult as ever and pointed to the merit of the catch, photo composition and obvious delight of the catch as winning factors.Congratulations Maddison 👏👏👏 Meanwhile, a fat Spanish mackerel of better than 20-kilograms has helped 𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗠𝗨𝗦 𝗦𝗠𝗜𝗧𝗛-𝗕𝗨𝗥𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟 to the 𝕊𝔼ℕ𝕀𝕆ℝ 𝕎𝕀ℕℕ𝔼ℝ title of the September comp.Sheamus floated a live fusilier bait to fool the big fish when he and mates fished at Keeper Reef in the first days of spring. Congratulations Sheamus 😖👏👏👏 A big fingermark caught by Dacoda Street, big barras claimed by Aiden Geaney, Mick Lang and Chris Achilles, red emperor by Clint King and cobia landed by Brendan Buttigieg and Byron Sutcliffe were all among considerations and Pat said it was a shame there could only be a single monthly winner.In fact, Pat paid tribute to all the entries, including a forktail catfish landed by the most junior of juniors, Scarlett-Anne Low. The hard fighting catty was Scarlett-Anne’s very first fish. Both senior and junior winners each earn a 𝐅𝐈𝐅𝐓𝐘 𝐃𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐑 ($𝟓𝟎) 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞, to be spent at their leisure within our locally owned specialist fishing tackle store.
