Local fishing club wins comp

The Pelicans Fishing Club was recently successful in the Brisbane Waters Combined Fishing Clubs competition where it defeated Gosford RSL by a narrow margin.

"Inclement weather marred "outside" fishing at the last local competition with only one boat managing to get out to open water, fortunately returning, but with no fish," publicity officer Mr Frank Smith said.

"Ricky French won the day with a nice bag of blue swimmer crabs, Wendy McLean was runner up with a mixed bag."

Mr Smith said the next competition would be on January 5 and 6, with a weigh-in at the Lions Park, Woy Woy, 3pm, Sunday, January 6.

He said all are welcome to attend.

"Catch of the month goes to Mark Walker with a two kilo plus mud crab caught near Empire Bay, on mullet strips," Mr Smith said.

"Top rod over the year for the Pelicans was Bob Hall."
