The Red Hookers Fishing Club Inc was established in 1979 by like minded members of the Redbank Plains Community, to promote an avenue for Friendship and Family enjoyment within the sport of fishing. |

Welcome back to www.rhfc.com.au and our online Newsletter. Our look is ever changing, but our charter remains the same! It is the desire of our members to enjoy fishing first and foremost, we do have friendly competitions whilst on club trips, unlike other clubs where competition is their most important issue. Here FUN is our first priority. Our charter is to promote recreational fishing, while combining all kinds of fishing into outings for our members to enjoy. We achieve this while keeping individuals costs down, by fund raising with Meat raffles at the Redbank Plains Tavern on Friday afternoons and the occassional sausage sizzle. |

Up coming Fishing Trip Mud Island Escape. 1st June 2019 Fisherman's Island Boat Ramp This trip is actually tomorrow (Bit late with the newsletter, sorry) We are meeting at 6am, at the boat ramp at Fisherman's Island for a hectic mornings fishing out from the mouth of the Brisbane river. Suppose to be a few Sand crabs about, so bring your pots. Club boat is yet to be booked for this trip, so let me know asap if you want to use it. |

Potential Fishing Trip We have been discussing having a trip down to NSW as a beach camping type trip. Sth Ballina was suggested. After much research, Sth Ballina camping ground, although on the beach, is very expensive. A suggestion has been made that we look at Iluka as an alternative. Illuka pricing is certainly no worse, and we can beach drive 'n fish, we can launch a boat in the Clarence and catch giant flathead, we can even head out to sea in a boat (weather permitting). Please bring your thoughts to the meeting next Tuesday the 4th of June. |

It has been a while since the last newsletter. My apologies for that, but with life and work getting in the way, it's not easy to find the time, sometimes. There has been a few things happening on the club scene since the last newsletter, from Fishing trips/comps, New Club Shirts, modifications to the club boat and more fishing trips being organised. Firstly we have ordered the new Club shirts. |
|
|
These have been ordered and should be with us before the end of the financial year. |

Fishing trip/competition at Tannum Sands (The Hook-Up) This event was well attended by the club with over 20 members and partners going. As we were all pretty new to the comp and the area, it took a bit to find the fish etc. Most members caught something and were in the weigh ins. Unfortunately no-one in the club won any prizes, but we all had a great time, and am sure most will be keen again for next year. Here are some photos from the trip. |

Various fishing pics A few members had the opportunity to get out and about some fish since the last newsletter, so in no significant order are a few pics received. |

Member story. Laurie our newest member, called in his apologies for the raffles tonight. He and his wife are in Stanthorpe! and based on this picture, I have to ask WHY? Come back Laurie it's too bloody cold up there. Apparently if you have a slightly dripping tap in -4.4c, then you can make your own stalagmite. |
