Good results for Gerringong at South Coast level.
The kids did well in the South Coast Fishing Clubs Association annual Beach Comp on the weekend. They had everything against them with the wind blowing yesterday afternoon and dead low tides for both the afternoon and morning sessions. Our very own superstar fisho Tom Cronin did very well on the mullet and got runner up in the Sub Junior section. Gerringong Junior Noah Micallef also got runner up in his section as well as weighing in the biggest Flathead in the comp. Rob Mace bagged the biggest Salmon...January Comp 2016
The first comp of the year and a pretty good turn out with 5 adults and 3 juniors weighing in their catches in what can sometimes be a quiet comp due to people being away on holidays. In the Deep Sea section we had Grant Keene take the win with a 55kg Marlin, which was also the biggest fish weighed in for the weekend – by far! The Booker Boys had a clean sweep win for both father and son in their respective categories. Young Marc had a cracker flathead that went 61cms and weighed 1.275kgs –...Latest Update

The March competition was held on 8th, 9th and 10th. We had a lot of fisho’s get out and wet a line for this competition and our junior members are having a great year, with a few weighing in again this month. It is going to be a good competition with the juniors this year, hope they all keep the good work up. Our Master Chefs were at it again; John on the Barbie, The Pringa cooked up a delicious dish plus rice and Jason cooked his famous Green Groper Curry. I’m confident to say everyone enjoyed...South Coast Beach Competition
The South Coast Fishing Club’s Beach Competition was held on the 23rd and 24th February at the Berry Bowling Club. We had about 9 of our members take part in this competition. They are our really keen fisherman as the weather conditions were not the best, with rain and wind. It was also great to see our juniors back to defend their title from last year and guess what?………. that is what they did. Well done boys! We better thank the dads too for braving the conditions and taking the boys...February Competition
The February Competition was held on Saturday the 9th and this was the annual Pub V’s Club competition. Once again we had a good turnout of junior members, it is great to see them out there fishing, and then weighing in their catches. The best catch of the day by far was Mitchell Cartwright’s huge haul of fish with some really nice Whiting. A big thank you goes out to the Gerringong Bowling Fishing Club for putting on a great meal and competition. I’m can confidently say all members there on...Shoalhaven Heads Classic Competition
The annual Shoalhaven Heads Classic competition was held on the 11th, 12th and 13th. Weather conditions were great for all types of fishing. However in saying that, our Deep Sea fisherman need to talk to one another, as there were a few keen to go, but didn’t have that deckie. It was great to see our junior members getting out there and wetting a line. The weigh in was held at the Shoalhaven Heads Bowling Club on Sunday with lunch provided, an all you could eat pizza meal. I’m confident to...January Competition
The January Competition was held over 4th, 5th and 6th. The wind kept the deep sea fisherman from going any further than the carpark at Boat Harbour on Saturday, but Sunday was much better and a few boats headed out early and caught a few flathead. Rob Mace headed down the coast and caught a couple of Groper around the 4 to 5kg mark, but very little else. Vince Stalgis was the only one to bag one of those elusive Reddies and Hock had a nice Dusky Flathead which leads me to think he may have been fishing...December Competition
The December Competition was held on 7th, 8th and 9th and the Pring boys dragged the boat down to the water and got stuck into plenty of fish out off Gerroa. They were the only ones to venture outside that weekend, but we also had a couple of others wet a line at Crooked River. The star of the show was young Craig’s big Flathead which weighed 2.5kgs whole and his new personal best, Congratulations mate!. Nikki Stephens fished alongside him at the creek and caught 3 Flatties in about 5 casts, not...November Competition
The November Competition was held on 9th, 10th and 11th. This competition was our annual family Bendalong weekend and I’m confident to say everybody had a ball and is looking forward to next year. It was great to see such a great turn out of club members making the trip down to spend some quality time fishing with their families and mates. It was also great to watch all of the kids bonding and playing fantastically together and looking out for one another. The weather didn’t start so good for...South Coast Freshwater Competition
The South Coast Freshwater Competition was held on the 13th and 14th of October at Buckenderra. The Stalgis families heading down to take part in the competition. They arrived around lunchtime on the Thursday to a cold, raining and slight snow at Buckenderra. The kids couldn’t wait to get out of the car considering they had been in the car since about 6:30am that morning. After unloading the cars, the boys decided to discuss their plan for fishing and of course this involved a test run before the...October Competition
The October Competition was held on 5th, 6th and 7th. As this competition was held on a important weekend for some guys and girls being the Bathurst 1000, our weigh-in was on the quiet side. However that didn’t stop our keen fisho’s from getting out there and catching some fish to add to their end of year totals. No. of Anglers: 2 No. of Fish: 20 Total Weight: 13.735kgs Beach & Rock Highest Points: Rob Mace with 107.75pts Estuary Highest Points: Les Walsh with 49.6pts Largest Fish:...September Competition
The September Competition was held on the 7th, 8th and 9th. As it is the start of spring the weather was excellent to get out there and do some fishing. Unforunately the fish didn’t want to bite, they had other things on their minds. There was a few of our members that have the skill for catching fish. We had a quiet gathering at the weigh-in on Sunday with only 3 anglers weighing fish. Congraulations to the winners! No. of Anglers: 3 No. of Fish: 9 Total Weight: 13.570kgs Beach & Rock Highest...August Competition
The August Competition was held over 10th, 11th and 12th. The weather kept the deep sea fisherman from going any further than the carpark at boat harbour. With everyone staying onshore, it was still even a hard task to find a spot out of the wind. We had a few brave fisho’s out there trying hard and there were a few that even caught fish! A grand total of 3 showed up on Sunday to weigh their fish in. We had a small gathering at the weigh in but most people chose to stay at home in front of their...July Competition
The July Competition was held over the 6th, 7th and 8th. I have to say this particular weigh in was very interesting, with only minutes to spare, Mitch Cronin arrived with two Yellowfin Tuna and snatched the winning title from Jake Atkinson who had weighed in a 57kg Bluefin the day before. Thanks to Mitch, Jake and Jason who went out fishing on Saturday and caught Tuna, it was beauitfully cooked up on the BBQ at the weigh in on Sunday. I believe half of Gerringong is thankful as they have be treated with...June Competition
The June Competition was held over the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th of June. Weather conditions weren’t the best with the usual June long weekend weather. We still had anglers out there braving the conditions to catch those fish to claim that important winner title. We had a good turn out for the weigh-in on Monday and some nice fish were once again fried up. No. of Anglers: 8 No. of Fish: 44 Total Weight: 23.745kgs Beach & Rock Highest Points: Greg Atkinson with 35.5pts Beach & Rock Runner Up:...South Coast Rock Competition
The SCFCA Rock Competition was held on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th May with around 40 competitors from the South Coast and Illawarra areas representing their respective clubs. It was nice to see GHFC represented well at this competition. The weather conditions were quite good, which resulted in some nice catches. These catches mostly included Rock Blackfish, Salmon, Groper, Bream, Luderick, Tailor and Trevally. The weigh in was held at the Kiama Bowling Club, this year there was a little bit of...May Pairs Competition
The May Pairs Competition was held over the 4th, 5th and 6th May. The weather conditions weren’t great, but as usual that did not stop our fisho’s getting out there and catching fish. The biggest dilemma that one of our members faced, was who would be his partner for the pairs comp. Apparently, he went through 3 people before the comp started on Friday night. We had a good turn up at the weigh in on Sunday and it is fantastic to see all the sub-junior members participating. A big thank you...Derek Wishart Competition
The Derek Wishart Memorial Competition was held on the 13th, 14th and 15th. This is an annual competition held between the Tooli Hounds and Gerringong Hotel Fishing Club in memory off Derek Wishart. All fish caught are donated and then auctioned off to raise money for the Ashma Foundation. We would like to thank our auctioneer Stuart Warden for helping out, it was greatly appreciated. The weekend fishing wasn’t easy for some, but there were still alot of fisho’s who caught fish. Catches...March Competition Results
The March competition was held on the 9th, 10th and 11th. After a couple of weeks of rain, the water was brown everywhere and very hard to fish. Quite a few members still got out and had a fish, but only two well seasoned fisherman could land a catch. Les Walsh sifted through dozens of baby Bream to find a couple of keepers and in the process caught two nice Flathead as well. Robert Mace found some clean water down at Steamers where the Salmon were thick, Tailor were good size and so were the couple of...February Competition Results
The February competition was held over the 10th, 11th and 12th. We had a great turn out this comp in all categories, including our new members Nathan and Hayden Ward. They fished in the Deep Sea section and caught some nice Snapper. Catches included Snapper, Groper, Blackfish, Flathead and Bream. Apparently, if you are looking to do a Marlin Watching Cruise, get in contact with John and Rod. We also held the presentation day after the weigh in. Congratulations to all winners and runner ups and a special...Pub vs. Bowlo Comp Results
