The club had a special competition on the day by catching and releasing eels caught behind the Berry Bowling Club by the juniors.
A huge eel weighing 6.85 kilograms was caught by young Grace Vassallo.
She will be joining her sister Isabella in the winners circle before long.
All the kids had a ball and the next closest was 5.400 kilograms caught by Hayden Mullholland.
In the largest species for the year, Darren Vassallo had the bream and mullaway. Peter Gray had the largest flathead, tailor, trevally and mullet, Steve Hockaday had a nice morwong, Peter Muller took out the snapper, Erin Gray the groper, David Bramley the luderick, John Lewis the whiting and Mick Ziebell the salmon. The biggest fresh water fish was caught by Kevin Buchan, a nice, brown trout.
Peter Matterson had a striped tuna at 3.610 kilograms for the not listed species.
The club would like to thank all the helpers on the day as there was a lot of work that went on behind the scenes.
The “old boys” are back after winning the veterans teams at the NSWFCA individual Freshwater at Buckenderra.
Some really nice trout were caught among them and they are now heading for the smoke house.
The last event for the year was the December competition and everybody fished the beach.
David Bramley took out the prize.
Darren Vassallo caught the fish of the month, which was a trevally, and his daughter won the juniors with a nice catch off the beach.
Hopefully the weather will improve for the next competition, which is on January 17 to the 19.
Leather jacket is the fish of the month.
