Shellharbour Game Fishing Club’s next general club meeting is November 30, at Warilla Bowlo. www.shellharbourgamefishing.com.au
*************************
Next weekend, November 23-25 will see the annual White Sands Game fishing tournament and cash shootout conducted by Jervis Bay Game Fishing Club at Huskisson.
A $500 lucky draw prize will be awarded to an entrant and a further $500 lucky draw prize will go to a boat – just for entering the tournament.
The recent warm water currents that have been pushing down should see plenty of action with some very large dolphin fish captures this week and yellowfin tuna and striped marlin hook-ups have been all over the radio chatter.
Some excellent support from the sponsors include GME, Ironbark Flooring, Casaview Homes, Bendigo Bank, Penn Reels and Compleat Angler South Nowra.
