Freshwater fishing day

Ettalong Beach War Memorial Fishing Club had a freshwater fishing day at Mt Penang Gardens, Kariong, recently.

The biggest fish was caught by weighmaster John Louden with a 68cm Murray cod.

Murray cod were also caught by Katrina Lane, Shane Louden and Les Lewis.

Other fish were also caught on the day included a silver perch by David Hurst plus a silver perch and a yellow belly by Todd Louden.

Club secretary Lisa Louden said the rest of the group had plenty of practice.

The early morning start saw a heavy fog move in but it did not affect the fishing, Ms Louden said.

"The Mount Penang Gardens was a great spot for a day out, close to home and everybody had a go, even the kids and the elderly," Ms Louden said.

"At lunch time, the group returned to the clubhouse for a barbecue and refreshments and a lot of talk about the one that got away."
