Fishing:
A bit of a swell has kept many people off the water this week although there’s a pretty good forecast for the next few days.
Snapper fishing has been a bit harder with spawning season well under way. Using smaller baits and keeping your line at least 5 to 10 metres off the bottom might improve your success. There have been a few snapper caught in the river and around the river mouth but most are being caught in the Puddle in 30-40 metres.
No reports from out wide this week although there were one or two boats out there. Hopefully there’ll be a bit of action out there this weekend.
Members Draw:
Some people will remember that when we went into our most recent ‘lockdown’ our members draw was up to $1500. When we started doing our draws again a few weeks ago, we ‘parked’ the $1500 and started fresh since a large number of our members were not able to get here. With the borders re-opening on the 15th, we will run this original members draw from the 16th December. If it is not struck, it will jackpot to $1600 which must be won by somebody in the clubrooms on December 23rd. The other draw that we have started (now up to $900) will continue each week as normal so there will be 2 draws on the 16th and possibly on the 23rd December.

Staff Changes:
You will notice several staff changes over the next few days and this has made life difficult for us, particularly in the kitchen. I would like to acknowledge our appreciation to the current kitchen staff that have really stepped up for during a busy and difficult period. We expect to be back on track by the weekend and we also appreciate the patience of our members. I would also like to thank those members who offered their help – whether or not we were able to take them up.
Vaccine Pass:
Thanks everyone for your understanding of our requirement to sight vaccination passes. Most of the committee members have offered to help with this necessary task over the next few months on a roster system so it’s likely you’ll be asked for it more than once. I would like to thank the committee members for helping us out here and taking some pressure off our staff on busier nights.
