Baptist Church Fishing Club - May 2008 Results

The Baptist Church Fishing Club’s 9th annual Lucinda Fishing Tournament was a fantastic weekend of fishing and making new friends, with 120 club members and visitors taking part in this year’s event. A huge thank you to God for this awesome part of the world, to our generous sponsors and to the great bunch of people who make up our Club and made this one of our best Lucinda camps ever!

Despite huge tidal run and persistent strong winds, the Weigh Master was kept extremely busy again this month with a total of 30 anglers weighing 65 fish for a total weight of 115.28kg. An additional 76 fish were released and 2 big and very tasty mud crabs were also weighed. Final results are posted below (apologies to Rob, Mal and Bryan for the points mix up!) Congratulations to everyone who got amongst the action, and what a close finish with only 2 points between Rob and Mal!
