CAP REEF WEEKLY REPORTThere was no briefi ng last week as we were at the
Boyne Tannum Hookup from 9-11 June. Our thanks
to the BTH committee for allowing us to collect data
on offshore fi shing trips again and to the Gladstone
Sport fi shing Club for allowing Cap Reef to share
their tent.
The BTH weekend weather was not conducive to
good fi shing with moderate winds on Friday and Sat-
urday but with better conditions on Sunday. Saturday
was also very wet with 150mm of rain at Bray Park
(BTH headquarters).
From a CapReef data perspective it was very suc-
cessful with 141 trip details obtained at Bray Park
out of a total of about 150 offshore trips. A further
approximate 50 trips were collected at the Gladstone
VMR boat ramp. Zoning maps, best practices in
releasing fi sh handouts and promotional material on
CapReef were in steady demand over the three days.
It was a full three days and thanks to Wendi Parsons,
Sally Wood and Wendy Wagon for their efforts on
the boat ramps surveys, especially during the rain
on Saturday. John Platten also helped out in between
fi shing (John scored a 20.7kg Barramundi from Lake
Awoonga to take out that section of the competi-
tion). Thanks to Shirley Sawynok who looked after
the CapReef stall and to Dave Lowe for helping out
when we ran out of zoning maps.
The BRUV camera was placed in the live fi sh tank
for the three days and plugged into a TV set so that
fi sh in the tank could be viewed live on TV. This was
a big hit, especially with the kids.
Data collected at the Hookup has meant we have
passed our target of 1,000 trips for the year with
around 1,200 trips and a few weeks to go.Well Done
every body
The Fishing Clubs report is fi nally being printed
and should be available in the next few weeks. We
have updated the Infofi sh website and upgraded the
CapReef section. The Fishing Clubs report can now
be downloaded from the website www.info-fi sh.net.
Apex Deep Sea Fishing Club has supplied data from
their most recent trip on 6th May.
Outing 12 – 10th and 11th
June 2006
It was the annual Scout’s camp weekend, so
on cue the wind blew and the rain teamed.
Ten hardy souls camped over the weekend
and enjoyed some laughs around the camp
fi re. A few more fi shed on the Sunday but
everyone was confi ned to Corio Bay and
Fishing Creek by the weather. The weigh-in
at the ramp in Fishing Creek got started a bit
early so my apologies to Warren who arrived
at the right time to fi nd nearly everyone
gone.
Dean and Ron were in fi ne form paying each
other out at the BBQ. Dean got the Penguin
a few time before Ron retaliated with the
following, “Dean was having some trouble
landing a fi sh when I told him to put on some
more drag but all he did was get another
frock”.
Ron carried his fi ne form over to the fi shing
by scoring a career high of 908 points;
including 2 Masters fi sh on 1kg, a 3.6 kg
queenfi sh and a 1.3 kg fl athead. This blew
the adult opposition away. Brad scored some
quick fi sh on Sunday morning to tally 296
points and Dean Anderson was next with 274
including a Masters queenfi sh of his own.
The junior competition was again close.
Daniel Rooks showed his class by weighing
5 fi sh for 592 points, including 2 very nice
queenfi sh. Lachlan Cook was close behind
with 475 points. His 2.8 kg queenfi sh on
1kg was a very good effort. The slack adults
would also like to thank Daniel for his live
bait gathering expertise.
The Austen family were out on Sunday and
Debbie landed a Masters queenfi sh on 1kg
and Chloe also weighed a nice queenfi sh on
4kg.
For all those concerned with Anthony
Walsh’s health, I can report a miraculous
recovery. It seems that once everyone lugged
his gear down the beach and loaded his boat
he started feeling a bit better and he fully
recovered once Sacha had cleaned up the
boat after they got home. The diagnosis was
either food poisoning or a dummy spit at Ron
out fi shing him.
The ANSA top 10 competition for the juniors
has come right down to the wire. Daniel who
is the reigning champion has 1666.6 points,
but, he holds the narrowest of leads over
Lachlan with 1636.7 points. With 2 weeks of
school holidays coming up before the books
close at the end of June either could win.
There are no other progressive scores in this
report, just to keep a bit of mystery for the
Presentation Night which is on Saturday 15th
July.
Ron With a nice Masters Queenfi sh
Can anyone tell which one is the queeny?
ApologyPlease accept my apology for missing the last couple
off newsletters, recent changes in my employment
has meant that I am home less often and when I am
home I just want to go fi shing. Hopefully some one
in the club would like to take on the publicity offi cer
role next year.
