Australian Airlines Fishing Trip
(Saturday 1st February, 2020)
Thanks to Sir Alf for organising, and look forward to next year. With storms forecast, our group of 8 keen fishermen headed out from Hastings just before 7am, to clear skies and still water.
The target fish for the day was whiting, and the captain didn't disappoint in finding the right spots.
Dos got the day off to a great start, pulling in a couple of whiting straight away.
The rest of the group then starting to join the party, and even Sir Bob got in on the act,
after first warming up with a couple of toadies.
As one spot got cold the captain moved us on to the next secret location,
and we were consistently hauling in fish through the course of the day.
The beers started flowing and all was good.
Around midday the heavens opened up and the waves started to roll in, but as the fish were still biting, we kept at it. The rain stopped, and we got the BBQ going. We then headed back to harbour around 2pm.
We ended up with a great hall of 89 keepers, which meant we all headed home with a good supply of fish for dinner.

As a follow on to this great day, the Billy Bass Trophy
was presented at the first round for 2020 at Lang Lang to Joe Dos Santos.
This will be up for grabs at the next Fishing Event, stay tuned...
