FISHING SECTION:<br />
Queens Birthday weekend saw a hardy bunch of keen anglers head down to<br />
Otematata to take part in a 4 way challenge against Papanui, Canty Anglers and<br />
Ferrymead clubs. Suitably prepared for some seriously cold weather, we launched<br />
the boats early Saturday morning with the air temp at -2C and the water temp<br />
around 7*C ..<br />
Catching fish was easier than trying to keep, and stay warm. But some of us<br />
managed to get fish on board, so the day was deemed successful. Day 2 saw us<br />
change lakes due to a power boat race and here, some did better than others...<br />
Moreso that when you've been on the main body of water for about 60secs , you<br />
cast your line and whack, there's a fish on, here's us all thinking what a great day this<br />
could turn out to be... yep so much for that line of thinking!<br />
The writer caught 2 but put 1 back, the boat skipper caught 1 all weekend, but had a<br />
bit of fun travelling all over the lake. Never mind, on to the presentations that night<br />
where Woolston scooped most of the main prizes. We may be small in numbers but<br />
we are very effective at results time it seems. Neil won the main trophy, Karen won<br />
the Ladies trophy and Arjay won the Juniors.. It’s a quiet time for us now as we<br />
prepare ourselves for next season, boats in for servicing and new gear to be<br />
purchased where necessary or in some cases.. "just because I might need it some<br />
day". So winter well and stay warm and bug free.
