The first time in a while we had a glorious day for our Comp, with light winds and for the most bright sunshine. On arriving at the Dam early Saturday morning the overnight crew had set up the gazebos, BBQ, table and chairs for the event. Registration started early with boat fishermen registering way before 6 am and by the 7 am Start fishing time we had 150 registrations. Through out the day we continued to receive registrations from people who had decided to have a late start and we ended having a total of 228 entries in this years event!
Of the total entries 170 were Seniors and 58 were Juniors and as a total they managed to catch 2190 Fish consisting of 2109 Tilapia and 81 Carp. Of those fish 498 were weighed in by Juniors.
Largest Carp in the Seniors Division went to Ben Thomas at 2.49 kg and the largest total caught of 9 going to Ben Thomas as well.
Largest Tilapia in the Seniors Division went to Adrian Wilson with 2.265 kg and the largest total caught of 166 went to Rachel Davies
Largest Carp in the Juniors Division went to Summer Hopper at 1.73 kg and the largest total caught of 3 going to Fin Bower
Largest Tilapia in the Juniors Division went to Noah Schipplock with a very impressive 2.075 kg and the largest total caught went to Zac Farmer with 97.
The Lucky Draw Prize from our Major Sponsor Dragon Kayaks, a Dragon Slayer was won by Tristan Falkenhagen
With the larger numbers attending this year we have managed to raise approx $4500 for stocking of our Native fish into the Dam. An outstanding result considering we took near 2200 pest fish from the dam. The dam has been fishing well of late with the native species of Australian Bass and Mary River Cod and these monies will be used to further stock the dam with these fish.
Overall a great event, every Junior went home with a prize if they caught fish or not. We can do this each year as we have sponsors that help us with donations and prizes generously, without our sponsors we could not hold this event each year and to that LAFMA thanks you. Thank you to all the members, volunteers and competitors and we will see you all next year in 2019.
