Jim Andrewartha, club president described the long weekend as “one of the best weather weekends
the region has seen this spring. He said; with terrific late afternoon high tides and cool evenings, club
anglers knew they were in for a great long weekend of fishing”.
At the Club House’s “Monthly Weigh In” held at 9am on the Monday public holiday, saw
experienced Anglers Dennis Willaims weigh in a ‘Mangrove Jack’ 44cm 1.202gm with its stunning
colours glistening in the sun. Yellow Fin Bream, Grunter and Flathead were caught in abundance.
And its official – Paul Wood has overtaken Len Woods ‘Whiting’ record, by reeling in a whopper of a
‘Whiting’ of 39.9cm .420gm. The club’s progressive scoreboard was updated with several surprise
changes for members yearly scored rankings.
Our 2026 club competition is being fiercely contested with many members vying for this year’s Best
Anglers Award. We wish them the best of luck! www.toogoomfishingclub.com.au.
