Presidents report
Isnt it amazing just how
quickly a year can go! Our
AGM is just around the corner,
and I can only re-iterate
just how important it is for
members to attend to vote,
or please provide your proxy
to a member to vote on your
behalf.
As this will be my last
opportunity for the year
before the AGM to write
anything I would like to take
the opportunity to extend
my deepest gratitude to
the committee for the work
undertaken this year. It has
been a time of great change,
where we have moved to
a model where we have
permanent staff, supported
by a range of additional casual
staff.
Change is always difcult to
deal with, but I do believe that
the benets related to this are
well worth it. The club house
is being far better utilised,
and we are continuing to see
a range of fresh faces down
there every evening.
As the club continues to
evolve I expect the growth we
are currently experiencing to
continue, and whist this puts
our existing infrastructure
under pressure, it also

AGM and
Christmas
Party
To be held at the
shing club on the 6th
December from 16:00
hours. All members
are essential to attend
as the club needs
to vote in the new
constitution as it wasnt
formally accepted
by the governing
body last year, due to
inadequate numbers.
The revised constitution
is essential to the
future development
of the club, without
it we will struggle to
evolve. There will be
a free sausage sizzle
at the AGM and the
Christmas party and
tinny competition
presentation will follow

more sh!
At a time of year where the
shing action is happening
thick and fast. It can be very
hard to keep up with action.
Many anglers nd themselves
caught up in trying to do too
many things all in the same
day.
Over the Queens Birthday
long weekend the Broome
shing club held the annual
Barra and BS competition for
2014. The rules were slightly
amended this year to allow
anglers to sh their favourite
pools and stretches of the river. This enabled anglers with
a good knowledge of the river
to connect to some quality
sh.
The competition was a little
light on for numbers this
year at just twenty anglers.
Although the numbers were
low the competition was very
tight and it was great to see
that there were a moderate
number of sh caught for
the weekend. Wade Clarke
won the champion angler
position for 2014 posting
whopping aggregate bag
length of 401cm. This was a
great effort and really shows
what local knowledge and
Tips and
tackle .....
Continued!!
Ive been lucky enough to use
and review some relatively
new shing rods over the last
few months. The Storm brand
of rods arent something that
many anglers would look at as
a quality product as they look
somewhat toy like.
Im here to tell you that the
Gomoku range of rods are
amongst some of the best
value for money rods that Ive
ever shed with. These rods
are suited to jigging as they
are soft and exible. The real
virtue of these rods is that
they are incredibly strong and
due to their yielding nature,
they can handle anything that
Ive targeted with ease and
dont wear the angler out like
many other rods can do.
They are highly recommended
as entry level rods for kids and
are the ideal rod for women
as they are so forgiving when
you hook the sh of a lifetime.
The report
With so many shing options
at the moment it can be hard
to gure out exactly what to
do. The Billsh action is still
cranking up north with many
anglers commenting that the
sh are absolutely annihilating
anything that cross their
paths.
A couple of club members
took part in a mission to
break the current day capture
record that stands at 44
sh. The crew, led by Billistic
owner operator Chris Nisbet
managed to convert 14 sh
and a small Black marlin
over a two hour session
that sounded like absolute
carnage. There was literally
no need run teasers, the team
managed to raise sh with
three pushers and commented
that the some sh were that
hungry that they were eating
the pushers as they were
being removed from the
water.
Unfortunately the weather
conditions arent ideal for
small boat owners to venture
Northe as the westerly breeze
and unpredictable storm
activity can create troubling
conditions for small boats.
For smaller vessel owners
there is no need to complain
though, as the inshore reef
action is heating up and
anglers are reporting good
captures of Snapper, Coral
trout, Blue bone and Maori
sea perch.
