Hi All

Hope you had a Merry Xmas and joyful New Year.
With being the holiday period for most, I do hope you had
a chance to go fishing. I look forward to hearing all the
reports on my return from my own holidays and don’t
forget our Australia Day Billfish Tournament where
briefing/ sign on is Thursday 21st January.

Keep on fishing...
Maddy

It’s definitely holiday time

G'day All,
Hope you all had a great Christmas and look forward to a Happy
New Year with some good fishing of course. Thanks for a great
turn out to the Christmas BBQ despite the weather, all enjoyed
and had fun especially the kids. Santa showed up "ring a ding
ding" making the afternoon entertaining to say the least, thanks
Santa. A big thanks to Maddie and John for hosting the BBQ at
their place and for all others involved in setting up for the
afternoon.
If your on Facebook you will have noticed I regularly put up the
fishing reports from tackle shops and charters from Hervey Bay
to the Tweed. If you wouldn't mind sending me through reports
of what your catching and general areas of where your catching
for a better idea of what's around and to share with other
members, if you can email me at
clubcaptain@rpgsc.com that would be much appreciated.
Next month is the Australia Day Billfish Tournament on the 23rd
and 24th of January with registration being Thursday the 21st of
January, download your entry form from the web site.

G’day Gang,
A fitting last weigh in for the year that was 2020 – it was
cancelled. The rubbish weather kept us away from our
beloved club area and the fish. Good news is that means
JACKPOT!!
Offshore species can be either Seriola lalandi or
Rachycentron canadum variety - $150.00

Extra brownie points if the weigh master gets
to take a slab of one home 
And the inshore Species – Trachinotus botla-
$100.00

The January Comp is upon us, if you need tags let me or
any of the committee know. Please remember we don’t
have them replaced until we send them back in so be
mindful of how many you actually have and need on hand.
They will be available on every day of the tournament and
we won’t run out.
Until then, keep a bend in it!
Skinny

This revision can be carried out with the use of the Qld Government Recreation Fishing
Rules and Regulations and ANSA QLD Regulations as guidelines. This is your opportunity to
have input to the revision of the State Species List. Things to review are:
•Species to Come OFF the present list and reason,
•Species to go ON the present list and reason,
•The legal lengths, and

Bribie Island have their tournament this

    Christy my daughter caught her 1st black
marlin last week and looks like we will be
getting some new club members. We went
7,5,1 on Wednesday at the Hards. There has
been a few fish out there. I battled what we
think was a yellowfin tuna of about 30kg on 8
for 50 mins before thumbed the
spool(impatient). 
There has been some good reports coming
from the trench also.
Tight Lines,
Ralph
