done either before or during the sign on or at the previous General meeting or any Club
event.

The Reel Talk needs to be delivered to members during the week before the first Club event

For the August Reel Talk, no later than 5 pm Thursday 23 July.

These dates and times are deadlines and closing and cut off times, not targets for you to aim
to just meet. If your article will be close to the deadline, please make sure you contact me
well before or risk missing out.
The Annual General Meeting of the Surf Casting and Angling Club of WA (Inc) and election of

Dry casting report 7 June 2015
We had a another beautiful day for this month's casting competition. A very light wind from
north to east with it switching to a light westerly after the end of this competition.
I must thank for the general co-operation by most members of the setting up and getting the
gear away before noon it was terrific.
We had 14 casters including one visitor Mark Taylor who cast some very good distances in
the 112 gram distance. Some of the results:
The best casts for the seniors Peter Pekaar 56 grams 140 metres
Mark Taylor (visitor) 112 grams 179 metres
Peter Pekaar artificial bait 138 metres.
Robert Pekaar got top score in double handed accuracy, 133 points
Mark Taylor again in single handed accuracy 22 points.
In the veterans Gary Gildersleeves got the 56 gram with 139 metres, artificial bait 113 metres
and the 112 gram 139 metres.
In the double handed accuracy Terry Fuller got a very good score of 164 points . When I
spoke to Terry he joked the only way now is for him to go down. I don't think so Terry, I think
there will be bigger scores to come.
Dean Stewart left his double handed rod at home so George lent him one of his rods and
Dean scored 119 points in double handed accuracy. I will be asking George to borrow that
rod next casting day. That's not a bad score Dean.
George Holman top scored in single handed accuracy with 28 points.
Good to see Lee Yongli back for the second time and is still improving, well done.
Like I said at the beginning I like to thank everybody for the ir help which makes the day run
smoothly.
Next month I will having our first Open single handed event at the end of the casting day on
the 5th July.
See you there.

June 2015 fishing field day
Port Gregory and Local.
Overview. The June 2015 away field day was held on the May/June long weekend from 1pm
Saturday 30 May to 10am Monday 1 June and was spread from the mouth of the Kalbarri
River to Port Gregory with the club persons generally fishing beaches at Port Gregory.
As in May, a bit disappointing in that the numbers of SCAC persons attending this away
venue was down considerably, fishing catch expectations was not realized as the results in
Port Gregory consisted of small bags of mainly small tailor.
For the local event, Perth Beaches down to Preston, results were very much better. Ti mes to
fish were as above. Some quality fish were weigh-in with a couples of great surprises. To
quantify, comparing bag to bag weights Local were about 4 times heavier than Port Gregory
and number of bag fish species were up to twice.
The trip. Most of us drove to the venue on Friday to allow some looking around before the
competition weekend.
The fishing period was from lines down at 1pm on the Saturday with fishing through the
evening with the lines up at to suit returning to the Port Gregory Caravan Par k and have bags
weighed in by the FDO at 11am on Monday 1 June.
For the away trip a total of 7 SCAC anglers signed on. George Holman, David Maxted, Pat
McKeown, Dean Stewart, Glen Wong, Michael Pisano with FDO Peter Osborne. Generally
beautiful weather, no rain, calm or light winds only, with a low swell prevailing over the
weekend. This gave comfortable fishing conditions. A couple of places were weeded out but
on the following day had cleared.
All stayed at cabins at Port Gregory Caravan Park, very comfortable. Beach fishing was
available a couple of km north and south of the campsite.
George and company fished a couple of beaches north and south of Port Gregory with some
limited success. Over the first two days chopper tailor and a few dart were landed. They also
tried the lagoon area in millpond conditions, with whiting biting very cautiously only on coral
prawns.
George bagged out on chopper tailor, one dart and a couple of whiting over the first two
days. Dave had a shoulder problem so fished awkwardly with a small light rod. On changing
to a ball sinker and bait-cast rig, he managed to get 7 tailor. He kept trying for number eight,
but missed out as the tailor school had moved on. He also managed to capture 3 whiting.
Pat landed 3 tailor and Dean managed one dart and one good whiting.
With reasonable bags of fish, the team decided not to fish Monday morning but enjoyed a
sleep-in and a good breakfast before the weigh-in.
Peter, Glen and Michael did a bit of exploration late Friday and Saturday morning. Chopper
tailor were found and while not prolific were there for the catching, with some returned, and
some kept for bait. They fished the north beach on Saturday afternoon, early evening and
caught chopper tailor. Not full bags but a good start and with another evening and two
morning periods to come it was anticipated getting a bag would not be a problem.
Sunday morning Peter persuaded Glen and Michael to try some cliff fishing at Pot Alley, just
south of Kalbarri, a 40 minute drive north. Water was calm with a low swell, on reflection too
calm. This was a new experience for Michael and Glen. After a couple of casts, Glen was on.
The fish headed due west at a great rate of knots, not slowing down at all , then a break-off
as Glen tried to turn it. Guess was probably a large ray, with other possibilities were a shark
or a very large mulloway. We all caught large rabbit fish, sometimes known as “happy
moments” as they have large spiky dorsal fins that can inflict extremely painful punctures.
Michael managed one good skippy, but Glen could not find anything to put in his bag. Peter
had a similar problem in that early landed a good fish, a baldchin groper, but on measuring
as a little off one cm too short, so back it went. An hour later, after about 6 rabbit fish, bang
he’s on. A good fish, plenty of weight, some head shaking, staying deep, probably a large

snapper, but on finally working the fish to the surface , up came the biggest buff bream you
could imagine. Sandra you would have been proud to catch one th is size. Sandra is our Buffy
Queen based on her Rottnest skills. Another one was hooked 10 minutes later, so with poor
results we returned to camp.
That evening Michael and Glen headed to the beach north of Port Gregory. Chopper tailor
were on the bite. Michael bagging out very quickly. A school had moved in close to the beach
in front of them. Michael saw a huge fish swirl right in front of him. With an accurate cast he
just about put his bait down the mouth of this animal as he had an immediate hook -up. Big
splash and a big fish trunk with a dorsal fin headed west. Even though he was using 60lb
braid line he was only on for a short period before break-off and seeing his reel spin like the
wheel of a formula one race car. This was his first experience with a big shark. Michael
experienced the excitement of a high powered short term fight.
With some home obligations and reasonable bags they arranged with the FDO to have their
weigh-in on Sunday night and returned to Perth early Monday morning.
Peter fished Sunday evening at the mouth of the river at Kalbarri, at Chinamans, looking for
mulloway as in past years success had been found there on good sized fish. No such luck,
he and half a dozen others fishing this area for many hours with a zero result. Peter
managed one tarwhine only for his session. Initially Peter tried for whiting near the mouth, no
whiting only undersize tarwhine and one tailor all of about 40 cm long on his whiting rig. He
returned to the beach south of Port Gregory on Monday morning looking to make up his bag
of tailor. No such luck, this time was as dead as a doornail.
Local Field Day. While we did catch fish at Port Gregory it pales into insignificance
compared to the local catches.
Martin Wearmouth had some family obligations over the weekend hence was limited to a
couple of 3 hour sessions from about 4 to 7 pm both Saturday and Sunday. A couple of
weeks beforehand he had heard of salmon catches at Cottesloe and had at this time also
went down with a flick rod and landed some good salmon up to 4kg. Hence on the start of the
field day, Saturday afternoon, he went down to north Cottesloe. He managed one salmon
each fishing period, biggest close to 5kg uncleaned, a skippy and a herring, a pretty good
bag for a local beach and only a few hours of fishing time. Martin took his two young sons
Thomas and Christian along with him, with Thomas capturing a good whiting.
It was the Surfcasters who went to Preston that had some really
great catches. Mark Nurse, Gary Parkinson, Peet and Sandra
Wessels had one of those magic weekends at the reefs north of
Preston Beach.
Peter Butland attended this venue, but had some health issues so
did not fish hard or weigh-in fish.
Peet and Sandra found salmon with Peet bagging out on salmon,
with his best being close to 4.7kg uncleaned and Sandra’s about
4.1kg uncleaned. He captured two on Saturday night and rest on
Sunday morning. Sandra got one. They also managed to get some
tailor, Saturday at dusk being prime tailor time, a bag limit of
herring, whiting, and some tarwhine. Peet had the heaviest bag for
the weekend.
The outstanding catches for the week-end were by Mark and Gary.
Two of Peet Wessels' salmon
Gary had some herring, whiting and a flathead and deciding not to retire early on Saturday
night, fished late evening and boy did he have a hook-up on working the fish until tired out
and using a wave to wash it up on the beach, was extremely surprised to see a beautiful pink
snapper gleaming in his headlight torch. What a beauty. It weighted 7.64 kg gilled and gutted
that would have made it about 8.4 kg as landed. It was the best fish for the weekend.
Mark also had some herring, tarwhine, a skippy and a yellowtail scad, and like Gary deciding
not to retire early on Saturday night, and also fished late evening. He also had a good hookReel Talk July 2015
Page 17
up using similar skills by working the fish until tired out and using a wave to wash it up on the
beach, was also extremely surprised and delighted to see a beautiful pink snapper gleaming
in his headlight torch. His first ever, what a beauty. It weighted 5.94 kg gilled and gutted that
would have made it about 6.6 kg as landed. This was the runner-up fish for the weekend.
Have you ever seen people with such big grins on their faces and sending so many digital
photos far and wide. Just shows, always ensure your gear is in good shape. 300 metres of
main line undamaged, reel drag smooth, leaders free from nicks, hooks sharp and so on you
never know when you will hook-up on that fish of a lifetime. Congratulations to Mark and
Gary for their super snapper captures.
Tight lines
Field Day Officer, Peter Osborne
Preston report. A group of us decided to fish Preston Beach for the June field day, Gary
Parkinson, Peter Butland, Ken Howell, the Wessels, newest newbie Scott Morrison and I
made our plans and would meet up on the beach at various times.
Unfortunately Ken fell ill during the week and made arrangements with Gary to collect the
scales, I personally missed Ken, he is great fun at field days and his infectious joy at
catching a fish was missed.
I was worried about what the storm had done to our usual fishing area, when I left after the
swag surfing incident the sand bars that had made it such a good spot were already gone,
when I arrived my fears were confirmed that it was now just a for mless area of shoreline with
no distinct gutter or hole that had kept tailor coming to feed on the resident whiting.
Gary and Peter B had set up in the previous hot spot and all in good natured fun informed me
to move along and go fish somewhere else, the used words that all began with an f and
ended with off. How rude, but not to worry I informed them that they were in the worst spot
ever and that the storm had made it that they would catch nothing and that my spot 100m
down the beach was a salmon highway.
With their mocking of my waders and that I looked like a Lone Ranger Nurse Shark ringing in
my ears I showed them my bum and had to smile at our little group of buddies, you better
bring your A Game of insults if you want to survive here…
I set to work catching whiting for bait and noticed that the guys where into a herring bonanza
next to me and had to endure the screams of how rubbish my spot was every time they
pulled a fish out the ocean, I ignored them, walked deeper into the waves in my waders and
told them I was dry and they were idiots.
The Wessels arrived at around noon and set up
between the warring factions but I could see in their
eyes that they also knew this spot had had better
days,
It wasn’t long before they packed up again and
moved on, we said we would communicate via
channel 10 in Savannah Speak (Afrikaans) so that
the potatoes to our left couldn’t understand every
hour on what was happening at our spots.
One hour later they informed me that they were on
tailor and salmon, I told everyone but they told me
to go away again with an F so I did and joined the
Wessels.
Sandra Wessels with her tailor
Now this was where the weekend got interesting, sitting five metres away from Peet and
Sandra is an eye opener, firstly because by watching them you learn more that you can
imagine, they always have a kettle boiled for coffee and finally because they are just good
people.
So here I was fishing over my first ever reef from the beach, I lost sinkers!! But I started to
watch what the Wessels were doing and so started my reef lesson.
Reel Talk July 2015
Page 18
The Wessels will answer you honesty on anything you
ask, well that was in between them hauling out salmon
and tailor.
When it got dark I went back to where I had left my
swag with a lot on my mind, I had to retie everything I
owned to set up properly for the reef.
At around 8pm I saw some activity from Gary and
realised he had a fish on, then I heard the screaming
and laughter, I went over and saw a beast on the
beach, I was immediately told to go back to my spot,
needless to say with another F.
Winners are grinners: Gary’s big Snapper
Seriously though, Gary had just done something I was
led to believe is practically impossible, a pink snapper
off the beach, well not impossible but not this size,
here he had what my mind estimated at between a 9
and 10kg slab of beauty. It was just handshakes and
high fives for the next while.
Over the moon with happiness for Gary I went back to my
spot and wound in my whole herring, it was untouched so I
slung it back out into the dark.
9.30 it happened, first a huge bite and then the drag
screamed off, I set the hook and felt a good fish on, it was
a great fight but my mind couldn’t imagine what I saw
when I finally slid it out on a wave, another pinkie, but this
was impossible, then I started to scream.
I yelled to Gary that my spot was just fine thanks.
Gary and I were all smiles and that smile still hasn’t left
me.
Mark had a big grin showing off his
Snapper
I now had to tie traces for the morning and it was around midnight, long a fter everyone else
was in bed and I was also getting ready to sleep when my reel screamed again, I was nearly
spooled by this fish, eventually I just tightened up the drag and held on and the fish turned,
an hour later after a massive battle I had the biggest Ray I have seen on the beach, it was
wider than my arm span. I put it back and said goodnight to the stars and the moon, at peace
and feeling blessed.
I was up at 4am and packed everything to go visit camp Wessels again. The other guys
asked me to wake them up when I went, Pete B told me to go away when I tried, so I left on
my own. I showed Peet and Sandra a photo of the Pinkie, the celebrations started again.
The morning session saw Peet land another salmon to fill his bag and some tailor, then the
bite stopped and the tarwhine invaded, a mulie lasted 3 seconds a whiting 10, the Wessels
made the tarwhine pay and added another species, I was still on a reef learning curve and
was now losing hooks.
I paid closer attention, asked Peet a few more questions and suddenly it all made sense, now
I was ready to hammer the reef.
Sandra had found a stunning little whiting hole down the beach and Peet and I spent an hour
or so catching bait, we chatted, we laughed, we discussed the world and our place in it on
this tiny patch of sand and that we felt like there was no better place we could be.
The whiting were good size so we added them to our species, I fished right up on the beach
not because I wanted to but because of a terrible cast and landed a flathead.
Armed with bait we were ready for the evening session and getting sick and tired of tiny
tarwhine I put a bait on top of the reef as we had seen salmon cruising on top in the morning,
at least the tarwhine didn’t get it, I had almost forgotten about it when Sandra politely told me
Reel Talk July 2015
Page 19
that I had a bite, chaos ensued holding the salmon on top of the reef and I managed to land
and quickly release the beauty.
Besides that fish, nothing else really happened during the night session, well except another
200 Tarwhine being landed.
During the day Peter B had joined us, I packed away all my stuff, took my chair over to Pete
and we sat in the dark chatting and staring at awe at the stars and wondering just how big
the universe around our little dot on the sand was.
The Monday morning session also saw no great action so Peet and I pulled out the smaller
rods and started to try catching species.
Plenty of tarwhine ensued but amongst them were dozens of herring, a sweep for Peet and I
got a skippy that was 25. as many zeroes as you wish to use, I asked Peet to confirm its
length and released it.
I also caught something that none of us knew
anything about, I took some photos, released it and
hoped Peter O knew what it was, turns out it is a
yellowtail scad, score one in the species column.
All that was left to do was pack up and go to the
weigh in, the Pinkies were laid alongside each other
and the celebrations resumed, lots of photos and
Gary and I were left felling a bit star struck. I don’t
really remember much but suddenly I was on the
highway home.
Mark Nurse and Gary Parkinson with Snapper
Tuesday saw Peet, Peter B and I having a
long and profound discussion via text
messages on the best technique, time, rig,
bait and area to catch a Pinkie, it eventually
came down to make sure in the dark you
throw your bait when you are facing the
water.
The team from Preston showing off salmon captures.
Left to right: Peter Butland, Scott Williamson, Gary
Parkinson, Mark Nurse, Peet Wessels
I see it as a miracle fish, right time place,
destiny, call it what you will, fishing on the
reef gave me a different idea, I landed 3
species I was not specifically targeting, it
comes down to in this beautiful ocean
teeming with different species you can only
catch something if you have a bait in the
water.

Support from Platypus
To Surf Casting and Angling Club of WA
Hi Pat,
PLATYPUS LINES is more than happy to continue to support the Surf Casting and Angling
Club of WA Annual Presentation Night on Sat 20th June 2015.
Our Donation of 16 Spools of Platypus Platinum line, 2 spools of Platypus Platinum Plus
Braid, Caps and Stickers to be used as prizes and giveaways will be sent to (Pat's address).
At PLATYPUS LINES, we believe in staying in contact with our Fishing Public by helping
clubs such as your own.
Pat, I have included two spools of our newest Braid, Platinum Plus, if you wouldn’t mind
giving it a plug on the night and include in your magazine as indicated, that would be great. I
have attached the press release for your info.
Any questions please call.
Kind Regards, Mark Nightingale, Platypus
The media release says: Platypus Platinum “Plus”; Quality
Australian made braid thinner and stronger.
After two years feedback and continuous research, Platypus has
remastered their popular Platinum Braid, to produce a stronger
thinner Braid whilst still retaining the softness of the original best selling line.
By employing a unique braiding process we are able to pack the
PE fibres+ closer together decreasing diameter and enhancing
the strength by up to 25%. The Braid's new process also locks the
pigment into the Braid structure to ensure a more colour fast
product, reducing fading and loss of colour.
When consulting with anglers one of the most important
properties is softness, this increases handleability of the braid
enabling smoother, more trouble-free casts.
Made right here in Australia by family owned and operated Platypus lines, we have made
Platinum+ Braid for the fisho that needs a Braid at a price that won’t break the bank.
Everything that made Platinum Braid the unique AFTA award winner, just stronger and
thinner!
Available in 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 80 lb in 125 and 300 yd lengths in Lime Green at all great
tackle stores.

Social Organiser's report
Fellow club members,
It’s all over for another year. The Presentation night was another very enjoyable evening.
As I looked around the room I could see a lot of happy and smiling faces all meeting and
greeting fellow club members and their partners.
The partners really do deserve a special mention as they support you in your quest to follow
your dream of that special moment when you hook into that fish as it runs you all over the
ocean.
We had a vacant space at Table 2. It wasn’t the look on George's face but sadly Kaye was
not there but at home recovering from a visit to the hospital. We missed you Kaye.
Ron Thomas was also unable to make the event as Ron has a bad back and cannot sit for
long. But this did not stop him from standing on the rocks catching fish. Ron really does
soldier on.
Our Sponsors certainly did us proud. Everybody went home with a bag of goodies.
Without your support it we would not have all the smiles as winners are grinners. A big Thank
You to you all.
The Woodvale Tavern once more really turned it on for us with top class service and very
yummy food.
The staff led by Mandy did a really magnificent job. It was a delight to meet and see familiar
faces looking after our needs and being very patient whilst we waffled on with our evening as
they are waiting to serve the meals nice and hot. Well done to you all.
Congratulations to all the section winners. You really do deserve your trophies after putting in
the extra effort required to be a winner.
All those that compete push the winners to another level. Just keep the pressure on and you
will receive that special award.
I would like to mention the people that helped with the setting up of the room.
Terry for a really big task of sorting, listing and collating all the trophies and prizes, setting up
the trophy table with assistance from George and Peter O. Well done it looked great.
Dean for helping set up the tables with the handouts.
Sandra our happy snapper with the camera. Watch out for the results.
Aine and Laurel for noting the raffle prize winners.
A big thank you to you all for making it the night it was.
Together we can achieve big things.
Social Organiser Pat McKeown
A message received from a first timer at SCAC Presentation nights: "Thanks, George. Last
night was the classiest prize giving I ever did see!!!" This message has been passed on to
Pat McKeown.
Article on Yellowtail Kingfish
Peet Wessels wrote an article titled "In pursuit of the King" about fishing for Yellow Tailed
Kingfish at Rottnest. This was published starting on page 9 of the April 2010 Reel Talk.
Peet has updated his 2½ page article, including some changes in bag limits, and added rig
diagrams.
This July Reel Talk already has 47 pages plus 2 inserts in it, so Peet's updated article will be
held over for a future edition of Reel Talk.
Reel Talk July 2015

Names on articles in Reel Talk
Before September 2001, pages in Reel Talk were sometimes just photocopies of a collection
of printouts with various different formats, fonts, sizes and layouts.
When I first took on the Reel Talk Editor's job in September 2001, I set out the Reel Talk
using Microsoft Word with all articles in similar fonts and layouts. This also meant that a PDF
version could be posted on the Club website and the website and contents could be
searched for words or phrases, and more copies could be printed easily.
During that stretch as editor from 2001-2006, my name did not appear on many articles, even
though many were produced by me.
From 2009 to the present, as Reel Talk editor I have made sure the author of each article
and updated article is named. Even so, credit is often given to others when in fact the updat e
is actually all done by me.
Without a name on an article, it is not always obvious who wrote and would take
responsibility for the article, and any assumption about that may be quite wrong.
So if you look through each edition it will now be clear who is doing most of the work. That's
OK, up to a point, because the job of an editor is to take information and present it in an
easily understood and consistent form. Having up to date access to results and entries is a
must and helps the Reel Talk editor produce each months' edition.
Results for our Club's two major activities, fishing and dry casting, are kept in either the dry
casting scoring spreadsheet developed and maintained and with data entry every month by
me, or the field day scoring spreadsheet developed and maintained by me with data entry
every month by the Field Day Officer, Peter Osborne.
As you will see from the listings in this July Reel Talk, these two spreadsheets do most of the
recording work required for the Club's fishing and casting activities during the year, and
automatically calculate most of the end of year winners and their scores.

Reports from Ray Walker
Ray has sent me four reports on his trip up north, plus some photos.
His email on 23 June said "The weather has been fantastic, this is what I came north for.
Probably stay at Quandong beach till Monday and head for Derby."
I will print these in coming months' Reel Talks.

President's report for June
Our annual Presentation night and dinner has once again come and gone. Even though the
numbers were down a little on the average it was still a great night where members and their
families and friends were able to fraternise together and acknowledge the achievements of
our club year by the members who have participated in club activities.
The club has been under considerable pressure over the last 12 months but our Presentation
night was a positive and we must continue to move forward and get involved in the club
activities of fishing, casting and social.
People like Pat McKeown, who has been our social organiser for the last six years, are
responsible for keeping our club going in a positive manner and we need to recognise them
and assist by helping and participating.
Pat is stepping down at the Committee elections in August and we need someone to continue
the work he has been doing, so please give this a lot of thought.
It was great to see the smiles when the awards were presented and raffle prizes were won of
which there were many. Peter Osborne made two special prizes for two new members in Lee
Yongli and Scott Williamson which were well received. A big thank you to all the prize
donors.
I had the pleasure of welcoming Lee Yongli into our club at our last General meeting and it is
good to see him both fishing and casting and doing well. Enjoy the club Lee.
It is good to see that Ron and Deirdre Thomas have returned home even though Ron's first
"Port of Call" was the doctor's. He just needed a rebore and overhaul. Getting older is not all
that it is cracked up to be!
Peter Butland has had more positive news so let's see this trend continue and he may even
start to get some fishing on his program.
Scott Williamson came down to one of our Thursday morning practice casting sessions and
he has certainly learnt a lot. If he continues he will soon catch up to Lee Yongli who se
casting has improved dramatically and who is becoming noticed at our monthly casting
events. It has also helped his fishing.
It was great to see Gary Parkinson and Mark Nurse catch a great pink snapper each at
Preston and we could not wipe the smile off Gary's face at our last meeting. You have to
have a line in the water, don't you Gary?
The election of a new Committee is in August and there are a couple of current office bearers
stepping down or lightening their loads, so we will be looking to new blood to come forward
to provide a solid future for our club.
You the members need to decide what direction you want to the club to head in and the type
and quality of the people you want to guide the club. We need positive people with direction
so we may move forward and enjoy our club.
We need to start thinking about the planned sausage sizzle on Sunday 6 December at
Bunnings in Malaga as this will have a bearing on our club's finances, keep our membership
fees stable and give benefits to club members throughout the year. Last year's event
organised by Pat McKeown was very successful and resulted in a benefit by subsidising a
much needed new air conditioner for Kalbarri. Pat had a great response to the call for
helpers at the sausage sizzle and members only had to give up around three hours each to
make it all happen. We need someone to organise this event.
Our next instruction period will spend time looking at our current boundaries for the local
fishing field day each month. There has been a lot of comment about boundaries as they are
not really local when we find ourselves fishing 320 kilometres of coastline which includes
some fishing locations decided at our April meeting after a lot of time and effort was put in by
Peter Osborne, our Field Day Officer. We have what we call an extended boun dary for the
local field day when the club fishes Rottnest as the main venue. We need to look at what
local fishing was designed to achieve.

Looking ahead, State Drycasting is to be held on 25 October.
It would be nice to see more patronising our club monthly dry casting now that Ron Thomas
is back and Gary Gildersleeves has been doing such a great job. Dry casting is one of our
club's main activities and is an event where we can enjoy each other's company for the
morning. Please attend.
Let us spend more time dealing with positives from now on and less on negatives. There is a
comment from Mark Nurse elsewhere in the Reel Talk which says it all!!
President 2014/15, George Holman

Fishing Field day point scores and ranking 2014/15
The scoring system for Field day fishing is in the Club's Competition Rules Section 2.4.
Competition Rules section 2.4.5 specifies only the best 11 months out of 12 will count at the
end of the competition year for the top ten point scorers.
No member attended all 12 Field days in 2014/15, so there are no deductions from the totals
in the list of members' total scores and rankings on page 20 of the May 2015 Reel Talk.
Sportsperson of the Year points 2014/15
For Club events May 2014 to April 2015. All these results are calculated automatically by the dry
casting and field day scoring spreadsheets both developed and maintained by Terry Fuller.
Added totals and sorting are done by another Excel spreadsheet. Names with equal points are
sorted alphabetically. Blank means the member did not compete in any event for that category.
Results are sorted by total points, as listed in the approved Competition Rules.

Most improved caster 2014/15
This is calculated using the best increase in average score per casting day for 2014/15
compared to 2013/14. For the changes to mean enough to be a true and fair comparison to
decide the winner, a caster must have attended several (or enough) casting days in both
years, and competed in most or all of the usual casting events. In some cases the number of
days have been adjusted to show competing rather than just attending and/or helping.
For this comparison, scores for all 12 possible casting days are used, since the people who
would be affected by using the "best 11 out of 12 days" scores are well down the list.
New casters who started casting in 2014/15 will be included in next year's comparison.
There are some very interesting numbers in this list! But any comparison must first check
which events and how many days the caster competed in.
The base data for these results are calculated automatically by the dr y casting scoring
spreadsheet developed and maintained and with data entry by Terry Fuller.
Another Excel spreadsheet calculates the averages and the changes and sorts these as shown.

Mandurah traffic bridge's fishing platform
A news item on the Recfishwest website says: Recfishwest is pleased to see that important
fishing features have been considered for the upgrade of Mandurah’s iconic Old Traffic
Bridge.
The $51.8m project funded by the State Government and the City of Mandurah will see the
construction of a four-lane bridge featuring a pedestrian walkway and new fishing platforms.
For many years, the Old Mandurah Traffic Bridge has been an iconic WA land -based fishing
location providing high quality fishing and crabbing opportunities for all in the community.
We are delighted the State Government has listened to the views of the community in
ensuring the design and construction creates a new bridge that reflects the importance of
local culture and recreation.
This announcement will ensure this accessible and safe family fishing spot can be enjoyed
for generations to come. It also recognises the importance of recreational fishing in the
Mandurah region.
