July Update
The monthly comp for July was interesting. The Deep Sea section was won by Jack Wilson with a total of 931pts – no bad for just one fish! He fished with Jack Cronin and landed a huge 100.5kg Southern Bluefin Tuna on the Saturday. Very impressive fish and Tuna is fish of the month for deep sea too. That will take some beating! The beach and rock section was won by the usual suspects Rob and Noah with a catch mostly consisting of Salmon and a couple of Tailor. Fish of the month for this section is...Latest News
Plenty of members have been getting into the Fish of the Month comp of late. Last month we saw all 3 categories filled. Randall Pring secured the biggest Tailor for Deep Sea, Bede Gillard bagged the biggest tailor for Beach/Rock and last but not least, Todd Walker weighed in the biggest Jewfish for Estuary. Nice work lads! This month is Kingfish for Deep Sea, Jewfish for Beach/Rock and Tailor for Estuary. Bede Gillard has already set the benchmark for Beach/ Rock with a nice Jewie that went 7.5kgs. The...Good results for Gerringong at South Coast level.
The kids did well in the South Coast Fishing Clubs Association annual Beach Comp on the weekend. They had everything against them with the wind blowing yesterday afternoon and dead low tides for both the afternoon and morning sessions. Our very own superstar fisho Tom Cronin did very well on the mullet and got runner up in the Sub Junior section. Gerringong Junior Noah Micallef also got runner up in his section as well as weighing in the biggest Flathead in the comp. Rob Mace bagged the biggest Salmon...Fishing Club Presentation Night

Well, what a weekend! March has come in with some great fish and it has been a while since a weigh in like this. The rocks fished well for those who fished them. Mitch C (not Cronin) getting a mixed bag that any fisherman would be proud of and Rob (the golden arch) Mace, baggin’ out on Snapper (10 fold), Groper and some “small” Tailor – his signature fish which is worth $40 for the biggest one this month. The boaties did well, Snapper for most, Stalgis got some good fish to about 1.5kgs and...Presentation Night

Yet another great weekend for fishing, this May Comp was a Pairs Comp. Plenty of pairs fished, for some great catches and some no catches. The seas rose to the occasion and kept all boats to the river with not much success there. Some great efforts from good fisherpeople had Bel get biggest fish for the comp, a 2.828kgs Salmon only to have Mitch drowning his pride along with the rest of us in a McGuiness. Mitch Cronin had enough of fishing the beach Sunday morning for zilch and decided to head out to Big...Publicity Officer’s Report
What a great weekend to have the Derek Wishart Memorial fishing comp. The fishing was hard for some and easier for others, some huge efforts were put in by a lot of anglers, some of the spots I fished were so secret the fish didn’t know about it. The Tooli Hounds came out like Rednecks to a “Hoe Down” and weighed in some great cathces, as each esky full came to the scales, there was a lot of murmur in the background, like “Ohh they’ve got us”, “Geez, I should...GHFC’s New Website!

Publicity Officer’s Report Well, the month’s fishing… Something has to be said about fishing the colour change. In the top end it is where you fish. Rob Mace fished the colour change for Bream at the start of the month for a 5.55kg Kingy off Walkers Beach, after fishing for 2 hrs with pillies without a bite, personally I would have left after an hour. Jewfish are starting to show up in the river with weekly catches reported. Birds are holding at the mouth of Broughton Creek for some...
