Joe from Warilla Hotel FC sent in results for the November comp that saw Danny Colville take out largest fish in senior BRE with a solid 2 kilo black drummer and Goo Jackson tabled a 3.5 kilo mix for heaviest bag.
Terry Royan weighed a 1.25 kilo snapper to take out largest fish in the Deep Sea section and Steve Rhind won the heaviest bag weight with his 2.15kg mix.
The November Fish of the Month was salmon and Joe Sciberras nailed that prize with a big sambo of 3.650 kilos. The mystery fish was flathead and it was taken out by Paul Bysterveld.
