Members of Balgownie Hotel FC braved the cold conditions for their August monthly weigh-in last weekend and diehard Ken (Killer) Carden tabled a pair of flatties that were 1.4 kilo each. His deckie Geoff Dryland had nine lizards for a bag weight of 4.6 kilograms, with Killer taking out mystery weight. Paul Hansen and Freddie Tagg watched a brilliant sunrise from Bellambi Beach but unfortunately the cold was too much and they came home empty handed. Grant Bonner was in the Vincentia area and bagged a 5.4k blue groper.
Rod Brown followed Killer to his spot and came home with a 3.4 kilo snapper and 5 flatties for 2.4 kilo total and Rob Nicholas and brother Craig went off Towradgi for flatties, the biggest 900g. Rob won barrel draw. David Walton won the Junior award.
