🎣 TEA GARDENS FISHING CLUB
NEW SEASON UNDERWAY! 🎣
The new fishing season is officially underway, and our September outing was a great way to get things rolling!
Members were out fishing from 11th–13th September, with everyone getting the chance to enjoy a weekend on the water, around the rocks and beaches
This season also sees the introduction of our new Open Fishing category, which is for members fishing out past the heads. This category is separate from our Beach, Rock & Estuary section, giving members even more ways to get involved and compete throughout the season. 🎣

- Ladies Section – two categories – Open and Beach, Rock & Estuary

Each angler is to nominate their chosen category prior to the first weigh in of the competition year.
Anglers cannot change categories during a competition year.

Largest of species.
Men’s and Ladies will have separate Largest of Species as our current procedures.
Within the Men’s and Ladies sections all anglers will compete for the largest of species no matter which category they are in, that is Open or Beach, Rock and Estuary.

Tea Gardens Fishing Club
June Outing
12th–14th June
Another club outing done and dusted, with members heading out across the weekend in some mixed fishing conditions. While some anglers had to work a little harder than others, there was still plenty of quality fish brought to the scales and a great variety weighed in across the board!

Congratulations to this outing’s winners 👏

🏆 Women’s Winner – Cindy Groth
Cindy put together a fantastic mixed bag consisting of 1 Salmon, 4 Tailor, 4 Naniguy, 5 Snapper, 1 Morwong, 1 Flathead and 2 Bream to take out the ladies win!

🏆 Men’s Winner – Vaughan Dorahy
Vaughan had a standout outing, weighing in an impressive catch of 5 Tragalin, 4 Drummer, 1 Silver Drummer, 5 Tailor, 5 Bream, 5 Snapper, 1 Flathead, 2 Morwong and 1 Bonito to secure the men’s title.

Other fish weighed in over the outing:
• Megan Markham – 2 Luderick, 2 Bream
• Jackie Murphy – 5 Bream, 5 Tailor
• Brad Markham – 1 Luderick
• Russell Coveny – 1 Tailor
• Nigel Fulloon – 1 Salmon, 1 Flathead, 5 Tailor, 4 Bream
• Ian Fulloon – 5Tailor, 5 Bream, 1 Jewfish
• Michael Groth – 3 Tailor, 1 Salmon, 2 Naniguy, 5 Snapper, 1 Bonito
• Cody Ross – 3 Drummer, 5 Bream, 3 Tailor

It was great to see another solid turnout from members, with plenty of laughs, stories and fish at the weigh in table. Some anglers found the fish straight away while others may still be wondering if they accidentally left the hooks at home 😆

Well done to everyone who got involved and brought fish to the scales. Looking forward to seeing what the next outing brings! 🎣
