FITZROY ONE BASE
CAYDEN DE GRAAF, AGE 12
My first time fishing the Fitzroy One Base
on board Plumb Crazy was an amazing
experience. I was lucky enough to tag
my first Marlin and catch my first
yellowfin tuna.
I even enjoyed just relaxing on the boat.
It was all so much fun and I learnt heaps
and would love to do it again next season,
if Dad lets me.
Being able to do Fitzroy One Base is an
amazing experience and I think
everyone should have a go.Yearbook 2020 15

20 Clevedon Game Fishing Club KIDS DAY Conditions were perfect, when kids – young and old, hit the Hauraki Gulf for a day of fishing, before a barbecue and lolly scramble on Pakatoa Island. Mums, Dads, uncles and aunts, and various other hangers-on all helped the kids, with some big catches! It was also lovely to see the kids caring for their environment, and organising a rubbish pick-up on the beach. This annual event is eagerly awaited. Krissy does an amazing job of putting together participant packs, so everyone leaves with something, plus some tall tales of the ones that got away.

INTER CLUB
CHALLENGE
A beautiful weekend at the start of
November was the backdrop to the
annual interclub challenge against
the Counties Game Fishing Club.
It was Clevedon’s turn to host, and
there was plenty of friendly banter
between the East and the West as
fishing got underway.
Counties had nearly double the number of
Clevedon’s boats and anglers in the water
over the weekend, and both teams caught
some great fish. The points system meant
that the winner on the day (for the third year
running) was Counties. But the real winner of
day were more than 150 local families.
