We are back , Covid Free and ready for action!

An upcoming Merry Xmas to all our club members and their families.

I do hope every one has a wonderful Xmas holiday and will be able to get out and wet a line .

The last few months have been a bit quiet as a club, there hasn't been a lot of fishing to be reported. However a few did get out at different times and picked up a feed of fish and crabs.

It's really good to see a lot of participation at our fund raising events, thanks to everyone who helps out .

As a club we are in a good position to be going out fishing and on camping trips through 2021.

If anybody has any suggestions for our next year's calendar, give us a call or send us an email and we can add it to the calendar.

Don't Forget the Raffles on Friday afternoons at the Tavern!

We have 2 Fridays left before the Xmas break, so come down and win yourself a Ham, find out who's going fishing where? and if there is room in the boat.

We will then be back at the Tavern for the Raffles on 29th January 2021.

New Direction, New Members  (it's all happening)

At the moment we are in the process of updating our insurance.

We are looking to have better coverage for when members families join us on club trips or events.

Thanks to Paul and Grant for their ongoing work with this project.

Welcome to our new club members:-

Richard (Dick), Brett, Bruce, Greg, Alan & Leslie.

Richard (Dick), is apparently a master when it comes to fresh water fishing. If his prowess at fishing is anything like his casting abilities, we should be able to learn a lot from him!

Dick won the casting competition at the Club Xmas party, out of 16 casts he managed to get something like 13 into the target area! 

Enjoy the fishing Rod & Reel combo that was first prize.

I understand that Alan is a retired professional Line Fisherman, so lets hope he brings some talent to the club also.

We already know that Brett brings some pretty handy kitchen skills.

The others will let us know their skills I am sure.

Welcome again guys.

Club boat

To date the club boat is running well.

We are about to build a 'lean to' for the boat to park under, so stay tuned for info on the working bee.

Thanks to all the guys who have given up their time to keep the club boat in top condition.

Don't forget people, the boat is there for all club members to use .

So get out there and don't forget to send pics of your catch so we can fill up the next news letter.

Club trips 

Jumpinpin

Our next trip is getting close 13th December. Down around the pin area.

Australia Day

The club is again hosting the Australia Day festivities at the Redbank Plains Tavern. the day is Tuesday, January 26th (of course)

There will be Crab Auctions & Races, Seafood Raffles, Thong Throwing, as well as plenty of other great things on offer for the day. All starts about 11am and finishes when we're done!

Club members- Remember we need to all get together on the previous Saturday and Sunday (23rd & 24th Jan) to actually go out and catch the fastest crabs we can!  There will be a mini competition to find the best crabber in the club (I think Ro$$co got an early start?)

Please keep in touch with Chalky, regarding who, where and when we are crabbing. the club will supply Crab Bait for the weekend, so again get in touch with Chalky.

Boondooma

The club is attending the Fishing Competition at Lake Boondooma on the 13th and 14th of February.  This club trip is being arranged by Nigel, so send your enquiries to info@rhfc.com.au and they will magically find their way to Nigel.  It is a great weekend with loads of prizes etc.

Christmas party   

This years Xmas party was a fabulous day, we invited members and their extended families to attend.

Everyone had a great time and it was good to catch up with everyone .

There was lots of food and drinks had by all and just as many laughs .

The party was hosted by David and Anthea .

The food prep and cooking was all handled by Brett, I must say no one went home hungry.

Top job Brett. (must have been a cook at sometime?)

Couple of nice Barra, caught by Alex and Chalky up on the Fitzroy River near Rockhampton. This was the week before the Barra Season closure! They got 5 nice Barra to 86cm as well as some Threadfin Salmon and big Grunter. Nice to find big Barramundi within a days drive of Brisbane. Give them a call and see if they give you the spot??
