Commodore's Comments
Well, as I sit here writing
my comments and looking
back over the last couple of
months, I realise how hectic
it has been with the end of
our financial year and the
interviewing and induction of
35 new members. I would like
to take this opportunity to
welcome all the new members
and I am sure that they will
be made welcome at our
fantastic Club. As I stressed
to the new members at
their induction night - make
the personal effort to get
involved and you will be
rewarded with many fun
times in this great boating
Club.
As we move into the colder part
of the year there are still plenty of
activities in which all participate.
On Deck – May/June 2013
Even though it may be colder,
we do have some of the best
boating weather so don’t just
put the boat away. Get involved
- and for those who don’t have
a boat, please remember that
you are always welcome to
join any of the Club’s boating
or fishing events. Just book in
for the event and make a note
on your booking that you don’t
have a boat, and I’m sure you
will be accommodated by a
fellow member as there is always
a skipper looking for someone to
go with them.
Also coming up in the next few
months is the Ladies Cocktail
Party. The Commodore’s partner
invites all female members
and members’ partners to
this fabulous party to be held
on Saturday 3rd August 2013
at 6.00pm on the 1st Floor of
the Clubhouse. I ask all male
members to advise their lady
about this fabulous event, and
encourage them to book early
for this fun night which is a great
occasion for them to meet other
ladies from around the Club.
Remember - the downstairs bar
is open for “male chauffeurs”
during the cocktail party and
from 8.00pm onwards the bar on
the 1st Floor will be open to all.
The new Club calendar has
now been completed and will
soon be sent to all members
as well as being posted on the
Club website as a secondary
reference. We will again be
placing a copy of this calendar
in Google calendar format on
the Club website so those who
wish to can upload the calendar
to their phones, tablets and
computers.
My term of three years as
Commodore will be completed
at the AGM. It has been an
enjoyable journey for Sue and
I, and a great honour to have
served as Commodore of the
Squadron. I would like to thank
all members for their support over
this time.
During my term I have
been fortunate in having
knowledgeable and hard
working colleagues as Board
members, all of whom have
taken their duties very seriously
and made my job much easier.
I sincerely thank them and
Immediate Past Commodore
Peter Barnes for their assistance
and efforts. I would also like to
extend my best wishes to the
new Commodore and Board that
were elected at the AGM for the
2013-14 season.
Finally, I would very much like to
acknowledge the contribution
and assistance of Club Manager
Paul Morgan and Assistant
Manager Marina Pratten,
together with their dedicated
staff, for their willing co-operation
and assistance over my time as
Commodore.
Safe boating,
John Firth

Boating Report - Keith Owen
This will be my last report as
Boating Director as I have
decided to retire as a Board
member. Some of you may be
aware that Davina and I have
recently taken delivery of our
new caravan and we intend
to spend many months on
the road exploring this great
country. My time as Boating
Director has been a full and
rewarding experience and it
has given me a much greater
appreciation of our Club
and of the amazing people
who devote so much time
to ensuring that it runs
smoothly.
When I look back on my time as
Director there are many people I
wish to thank for making my role
as rewarding as it has been. Firstly
to my wonderful wife Davina- her
calm, considered and rational
6
approach to situations has been
invaluable in helping me with the
demands of the role. Of course
those who know me and Davina
also know she is the ‘editor’
behind all my articles, flyers and
reports. Secondly, to John Firth
who has guided me and assisted
when and where possible John’s depth of knowledge of
the Club and boating matters
is exceptional. He is a tireless
worker always willing to take
on roles such as managing IT
issues, fixing minor faults through
to strategic planning, and has
been a valuable committee
member. I also recognise the
other Board members and
thank them for their guidance
and support – especially Brian
Willis who has stood in for me in
my regular absences, guiding
and supporting the Boating
Committee in a competent and
professional manner. Finally, to
Paul Morgan and his team who
keep the Club running and have
such a good understanding
of the members and their
requirements.
Now back to boating matters.
Since my last report we have
conducted a very successful
Paynesville Long Weekend
last March. This year we were
joined by several new members
and their families. It was great
to see them enjoying such a
wonderful place. Please keep
an eye out for an article about
the trip in this On Deck by Sara
Kent - accompanied by some
great photographs. Directors
regularly express concern about
low levels of interest in some Cub
events and it was great to get
some feedback from the first
time attendees at Paynesville about running events and how
they can be structured to better
meet the needs of families. This
feedback has been fed back to
the Boating Committee and will
be included in their planning for
future events.
As mentioned in my last report,
the Boating Committee has
been refreshed by some new
blood. This group worked hard in
planning and preparing for the
Family Fun Day that was run on
Sunday 28 April. I was amazed by
their teamwork and dedication,
and the successful running of this
great family event that resulted
from their fine efforts. Of course,
the crew in charge of NavRallies
has been working away ensuring
that these valuable events
continue to be offered to
members and guests. I would like
to take this opportunity to say a
big thank you to all the Boating
Committee members, current
and past, for their dedication
and commitment to our Club.
So for now good bye and I
encourage you to get involved
in boating activities when and
where possible; they open up a
whole new side to being a Club
member.
Safe boating.
On Deck – May/June 2013
Paynesville Labour Day Weekend
Contributed by the Kent
family – David and Sara, and
children Ed and Lucie
As members of the BMYS for
five years, we set out for our first
weekend cruising club event and
whilst we didn’t really know what
to expect we thought it was time
to give it a go!
We arrived at Mariners Cove
at 7pm Friday and were
immediately impressed by the
facilities on offer, in particular
the mooring arrangements, the
boat immediately accessible only
metres from our balcony door.
Upon arrival we were greeted
with “do you need a hand” and
welcomed into the fold. In no
time at all we were settled in, the
boat was launched, moored,
and we were off to the local
to meet the others for a few
refreshments and the obligatory
counter-meal.
Next morning, after bacon and
eggs on the BBQ, the official
itinerary commenced with a
cruise in convoy from Paynesville
to the Metung Hotel, with our kids
Ed and Lucie insisting on being
towed the entire journey on the
‘crash mat’. Our fellow boaties
knew the drill: dock at the Hotel
jetty and get in early to reserve
prime seating on the outdoor
balcony to enjoy one of the
most panoramic views across the
Lakes system. One member was
so enthusiastic to join the group
on the balcony he didn’t have
time to turn off the engine (he
later claimed to be charging the
batteries!).
After a leisurely stroll through the
local craft and produce market
we settled in on the balcony for
a tasty lunch and refreshments
(non alcoholic of course).
After consuming a monstrous
Guinness pie and three raspberry
lemonades, Ed decided against
the ‘crash mat’ for the next leg of
the journey for obvious reasons.
After lunch the cruise continued
down to Lakes Entrance and
returned via Rigby Channel,
which runs between Barrier
Landing and Rigby and Fraser
islands. Navigation is tricky in
this precinct as there is shallow
water to catch out the unaware.
Following the more experienced
boaties through these waters was
an excellent way of familiarising
a skipper to the region.
Back into the open waters of
Lake King, the pace increased
as the fleet motored back to
Paynesville. It was at this point
we understood the cruising
hierarchy. The Commodore
leads the fleet with the largest
and fastest boat. When the
lead boat is sufficiently ahead
of the fleet the skipper conducts
some reconnaissance circles
to ensure the fleet is intact. The
Commodore’s boat produces
a wake that would put many a
wakeboard boat to shame, any
attempt to pass the lead vessel
would be confronted by a huge
wake akin to that provided by a
Port Phillip Bay 35 knot sou wester!
The fleet arrived back at
Paynesville mid-afternoon for a
quiet afternoon in the sun but our
family decided to continue to
explore the Lakes system further.
We cruised into Bunga Arm,
parked at one of the magic little
beaches (Albatross camp site)
and took a short stroll over to the
Ninety Mile Beach for a refreshing
splash in the surf.
A pleasant Saturday night was
spent at Mariners Cove with a
few drinks, a casual BBQ dinner,
and a few more drinks. By now us

‘newbies’ felt we’d got most of
the names committed to memory
and enjoyed friendly banter with
the crew.
We awoke Sunday to a beautiful
day. Another cruise beckoned,
this time with packed lunches to
Bunga Arm for the day. We had
the honour of being designated
the lead boat to negotiate the
meandering Aurora Channel
into Bunga Arm and guide the
fleet to a safe anchoring venue;
which could have ended in
tears but fortunately didn’t.
When the Boating Director
requested we communicate to
the fleet via marine radio, I then
realised my decision to opt for a
horsepower upgrade instead of
a marine radio was perhaps a bit
misguided.
Anyway, we had a pleasant day
endeavouring to exhaust the
kids with some wake boarding,
a splash around in the surf and
an attempt to catch a salmon
off the Ninety Mile Beach. We
only had to bring home one fish
to eclipse the bounty from the
two early morning offshore forays
by the Fishing Director: however,
sadly the result ended up zip all.
welcoming and helpful, whether
it be tossing us a rope and
helping dock the boat or simply
sharing ‘boaties’ stories.
The fleet then set out to explore
waterways such as Newlands
Arm and Duck Arm before
heading back to Mariners Cove
for a Sunday evening BBQ and
more refreshments.
So as the new kids on the block
we would encourage everyone
to have a go at some of the
events on offer. There are many
people working really hard
behind the scenes to make these
events happen; and if you don’t
have a go - you’ll never know
what you’re missing!
All in all, we had a really
enjoyable weekend with the
family and new friends. We
found the other members very

Family Fun Day on the Bay
Sunday 28 April 2013
Contributed by the BMYS
Boating Committee
Despite rough and windy
conditions the Family Fun
Day received the unanimous
feedback of an EXCELLENT
FAMILY EVENT by attendees. With
bacon and egg rolls washed
down by espresso coffee to
start, the participants braved the
rough seas for a quick (in some
cases, rapid) fish, before heading
back to the Clubhouse for other
activities.
The Parkdale Yacht Club kindly
provided two “Pacer” yachts to
take the kids out for a sail, whilst
Noel McNicol in the safety boat
also watched over the kayakers
who were determined to make
it through the swell. Meanwhile,
Tony took the children and brave
adults out on his “couch” for a
cruise around the bay and had
the pleasure of seeing the joy
on the faces of those relaxing in
his bumpy and surprisingly dry
couch…
Then it was quiet time while
parents wracked their brains
for the answers to the General
Knowledge Quiz and the
children drew their best boating
picture. A quick children’s
fishing competition – who can
flick the lure into the bucket with
everyone winning a prize (all
missed the bucket, but a few
caught Ben and Roger). This
finished the day nicely before a
delicious BBQ and salad lunch
and the prize giving.
A great day had by all and a big
thank you to all who participated
in less than ideal conditions
and to the Boating Committee
members for all their hard work
and enthusiastic participation!

Fishing - with Ian Jones
As the days grow shorter
in autumn pinkie snapper,
squid and salmon appear
to be the major catches by
members. The recent weeks
of excellent whiting fishing
have passed with anglers
struggling to get a fish or
two. Small trevally have
proved quite a nuisance as
whiting burley attracted
numbers of these fish
almost under boats.
And how about those seals have they ever been worse?
Sometimes two or three would be
fighting each other for hooked
pinkies. Apparently, southwest Victorian tuna anglers are
experiencing similar problems.
Various illegal and legal solutions
have been put forward but none
can be put in print. Meanwhile,
we can use such expressions
as “oh, dear me!”, “please go
away!”, “would you mind leaving
my fish alone?”, or “what a pesky
nuisance you are”, etc. Seriously,
seals have become increasingly
dependent on hooked fish for
a feed. As suggested before
there is a ready market for an
instrument that produces a
harmless underwater sound that
seals find intolerable.
As the autumn turns into early
winter, afternoon and evening
fishing becomes more successful
than the mornings. Pinkies will
continue to bite well on bait
and plastics but, as usual, the
bay will probably throw up
a few surprises. Barracouta,
12
warehou and spotted trevalla
are overdue for a winter return
to Port Phillip Bay.
Strange Catches:
Paul (the painter) Karamitos
landed a rare mosaic
leatherjacket while John Heron
caught a Moreton Bay bug.
Andrew Georgiou tells of getting
one or two bugs over his many,
many years of angling, but unlike
Westernport they are certainly
unusual catches in Port Phillip.
Dolphin fish (Mahi Mahi)
are being caught regularly
now in south-west Victoria,
while King George Whiting
and kingfish once almost
unknown in Tasmania are
now appearing in almost
marketable quantities. Warm
currents or climate change?
Who knows?
Members in the News:
Congratulations to Club
Manager Paul Morgan on his
fiftieth birthday. He is celebrating
with a trip to Portugal for a family
wedding (not his!) later in the
year.
Mick Keatinge, fresh from starring
in a Bunning’s commercial, has
had some great flathead fishing
off Brighton.
Is there a better known team
than cousins Fred and Joe
Scicluna? They fish together
several times a week with
success.
Congratulations to Tim Hipkin
who has filled the position of
Fishing Director. He will have
the full support of the Fishing
Committee which includes
new members Craig Cox and
Cameron McNaughton.
- with Ian Jones
Fishing Ideas:
Braided lines are quite
expensive. The first 50 to 70
metres are subject to wear;
but instead of replacing it
why not reverse the line using
two centre-pin reels or old
reels?
Crabs make excellent bait but
they are hard to keep alive in
a bucket. Try saturating hessian
bags with salt water and
wrapping the crabs in them. Also,
this works well with live prawns
and sandworms if kept cool.
Cryovac machines are
relatively inexpensive and they
certainly make storing and
keeping fish a lot easier. Good
too for bait like garfish, slimies
and yackas.
Use short strong elastic bands
to join the treble hooks for neat
storage of hard- bodied lures in
tackle boxes.
New Products:
Now on sale is a powerful LED
rechargeable spotlight; ideal for
camping or finding your way out
to sea pre-dawn at Warneet or
Hastings.
Storing landing nets in small
boats can be awkward.
There is now a brilliant new
product in which the net
folds into the handle. Ask
for a demonstration at your
favourite tackle shop.
Most tackle shops have a huge
range of ready - made rigs for
snapper, whiting, strip baits and
surf, to name a few. Again, have
On Deck – May/June 2013
a look at the range in tackle
shops.
Fishing Spot - Steavenson
River, Marysville:
This small river contains surprising
numbers of small rainbow and
brown trout. Below the falls
the river is easily accessible
for passive fishing at a pool or
actively wading the shallows and
runs. Drifted worms, crickets, small
plastics and tiny bladed Vibrax
lures will almost certainly produce
fish in all but flood conditions. It
is surprisingly lightly fished for its
proximity to a major highway and
tourist centre.
Coming Events:
End of Season Fishing
Competition and BBQ on
Sunday 26 May to celebrate
possibly the best snapper
season ever. This will be a
Sunday only competition;
there is no competition on
the Saturday. There will be
the usual $70, $50 and $30
vouchers as well as vouchers
for lure-caught fish, ladies
and juniors. A simple BBQ will
be held at 12.00 noon with
voucher presentations to
follow. This will be Tim Hipkin’s
first and Brian McNaughton’s
last competition as Fishing
Director. Let’s have a good
attendance of members and
families.
BMYS Record Holders:
Over the long history of BMYS,
many members as well as their
wives, partners, and family
members, have featured in
game fishing records throughout
Australia. Members will remember
Bill Jenkins from Boatarama and
Frankston Billfisher Tackle. Bill and
his wife Rhonda still hold several
Victorian records for albacore
and kingfish. Dom Di Pietro and
Brian Higginbotham also feature
on the kingfish record list. The late
John Wright holds an Australian
albacore record whilst Dave
Thompson’s partner Sharon Male
holds shark and tuna records that
will take some breaking. Each
state Game Fishing Association
has a website for records as
does the GFAA. By browsing the
websites members may pick up
other familiar names that were
missed by your correspondent.
As a footnote, an interesting
trend in modern game fishing
is to move away from the
“kill it and weigh it” concept.
Now, weight for length tables
exist for various game fish.
“Brag” mats, measuring
tapes and cameras can
also be used to record data
and the fish can be tagged
and released. This trend will
continue to be modified and
improved over the years to
come.
Game Fishing Tags:
Ian Jones has a reasonable
stock of tags for marlin, small
game fish and shark available to
GFAV affiliated members fishing
south-west Victoria and off the
east coast. All used cards and
tag numbers must be returned
to Ian in the first instance, not to
NSW Fisheries. Call Ian Jones on
9589 1249 for a supply

FIRE PROTECTION
Recreational vessels are required
to carry fire protection equipment
in accordance with the Marine Safety
Regulations 2012 (Vic).
Depending on the type of vessel and equipment on board,
fire protection equipment may include one or more of
the following:
> portable fire extinguishers.
Fire blankets
A fire blanket must also be carried on vessels where cooking
facilities are located in an enclosed space, for example the
galley on a yacht.
> fire blankets.
> bucket with lanyard.
Bucket with lanyard
> fixed fire extinguishing systems.
A bucket with lanyard must be carried on all powered
recreational vessels. A bucket with lanyard allows water to be
used to extinguish fires derived from wood, paper and plastics.
Portable fire extinguishers
Portable fire extinguishers are required on all powered
recreational vessels equipped with an electric start motor,
gas installation, fuel stove or where any fuel is carried.
They must be of a dry chemical type that complies with
the relevant Australian Standards.
The following table describes the number of fire extinguishers
that are required on a given vessel.
Vessel size
Number required
Less than 8 m
One
8 m to 12 m
Two
Greater than 12 m
Three
Fixed fire extinguishing systems
Instead of using a portable fire extinguisher, the master may
fit their vessel with an approved fixed fire extinguishing
system to the enclosed engine compartment, as long as it
is of the equivalent size.
If the vessel must have multiple extinguishers, the fixed fire
extinguishing system must be equivalent to the nominated
portable fire extinguisher size and the additional portable
fire extinguishers can be any size.
Examples
The table below describes the minimum required size of one
of the fire extinguishers on a given vessel.
Capacity of flammable or
combustible liquids that are
able to be carried on vessel
Minimum capacity of one of
the required fire extinguishers
Less than 115 litres
0.9 kg
115 to 350 litres
2.0 kg
351 to 695 litres
4.5 kg
More than 695 litres
9.0 kg
4.2 metre vessel
Michelle’s 4.2 m aluminium boat with a 25 HP engine has a
fuel carrying capacity of 40 litres. The minimum fire fighting
requirements are:
> One 0.9 kg dry chemical portable fire extinguisher (vessel
less than 8 metres, with less than 115 litre fuel capacity).
> One bucket with lanyard.
MARITIME SAFETY
14
On Deck – May/June 2013
Inverted fire extinguisher
Discharged fire extinguisher gauge
Examples (continued)
10 metre vessel
John’s 10 m Sports Cruiser can carry 1000 litres of fuel
(including cooking gas) and has a galley below deck.
The minimum fire fighting requirements are:
With fixed fire extinguishing system
> Fixed fire extinguishing system of at least 9.0kg capacity.
> One dry chemical portable fire extinguisher of any size.
> One fire blanket.
> One bucket with lanyard.
Old fire extinguisher
Fire extinguisher maintenance
Portable fire extinguishers are required to be maintained
in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. While
some maintenance inspections must be carried out by a
qualified professional there are many checks that should be
conducted regularly. This will ensure that extinguishers are
in good working order at all times.
Below is a list of items to be checked regularly on
fire extinguishers:
> determine that the extinguisher is the correct size and
type for the vessel.
Without fixed fire extinguishing system
> invert the extinguisher and ensure that the powder remains
free flowing by shaking it during regular checks.
> Two dry chemical portable fire extinguishers, one of which
must be a 9.0kg dry chemical portable fire extinguisher.
> check the contents by viewing the gauge. Does the needle
indicate recharge is required?
> One fire blanket.
> is the safety pin in place to prevent accidental discharge?
> One bucket with lanyard.
> is the bottle showing any signs of peeling paint, rust or
external damage?
Don’t think that it won’t happen to
you – having access to the correct fire
fighting equipment will give you the
best chance of extinguishing a fire
before it gets out of control.
> if fitted, does the service tag indicate more than 12 months
since the last inspection?
If the extinguisher has not been inspected for more than
12 months it should be taken to an approved service agent.
Check with your supplier for more details.

BMYS vs Brighton CAC Sunday 14th April
This annual fishing competition
was held in perfect conditions
with a good roll up of members
from both Clubs. The variety of
fish caught was quite amazing
with catches of snapper,
flathead, leatherjacket, trevally,
pike, snook, whiting, salmon and
yackas, with the highlight being
a hammer head shark caught
by Jason Clark. Congratulations
to Eddie Zahra (representing
Brighton) for the heaviest bag
and John Giuliano who compiled
the heaviest bag for Beaumaris.
Well done to Con Hountis for
catching the largest snapper and
to our popular junior fisherlady
in Jacinta Jo who picked up the
heaviest junior fish.
I would like to thank Lee Rayner
of Fishing Fever for donating our
prizes for this event. Originally
the prizes were to be used for
the Port Albert event, but due to
that event being cancelled Lee
suggested we use his prizes for
this major competition. Hope to
see you there next year Lee.

Bermagui Game Fishing Trip
Contributed by Fishing
Director Brian McNaughton
Several months ago we had a
meeting to decide the venue for
our annual game fishing trip - a
who, when and where night.
Bermagui was the popular venue
and a date was set for the start
of April.
Great reports of countless marlin
being caught kept coming
through early in the year with
many catches down south of
Eden. Sure by the time we get
there the fish will be back up at
Bermie was the popular belief.
Eight boats headed off on the
750 odd kilometer trip full of
expectations of boating multiple
marlin per day, such were the
reports.
Staying at the Anchorage
Apartments run by Sue and
Ross we felt spoilt with the
large carparks, adequate
accommodation and great BBQ
and eating areas outside.
The weather was warm and
windless all week, ideal for
charging up to the island or
ripping out to the six, or twelve
mile reef or going further to the
drop off.
All the above we did, trolling
lures, trolling livies, ballooning,
cubing and berlying were tried
but to no avail.
Slimies and yackas were not
easy to get and only a handful
of stripie tuna were caught. To
add insult to injury reports kept
coming in about the fantastic
tuna and albacore catches at
Portland. Sorry guys – but wrong
place at wrong time. Please
don’t blame the Fishing Director,
you did all vote for Bermie!
There is always a good side
to every story and although
the fishing was not great the
company and camaraderie
between members made the trip
a success. With BBQ’s at night at
the units and a couple of meals
out at the Country Club and the
local pub it was great getting to
know members with like interests
a little better.
The Beaumaris guru of marlin
fishing, Tyrone O’Connor, had
been at Bermie for several
weeks prior to our arrival and
had caught and released many
marlin. The week we arrived
Tyrone had no luck either so
perhaps it was not our lack of
skill that saw no marlin flags flying
that week. Thanks Tyrone for your
input into info on gear, hooks,
switch baiting, etc., next year we
just want to know where the fish
are?
Competing Teams Were:
(1) Brian McNaughton

Unpacking all the 30 to 50 game
rods and reels, outriggers, flying
gaffs, etc., came under heavy
scrutiny by some of the partners
on our return, when only a
handful of flathead fillets were
produced as a result of a weeks
solid game fishing!
Portland is in focus for a trip
soon so interested parties should
contact the writer if they are
interested.

Big Turn out to our April
Working Bee
What a great turn out to our last
Working Bee on 21st April. 17%
of our total membership made
this one of our most successful
ever working bees. 114 members
and 15 extras (family and
friends) completed a huge list of
maintenance jobs around the
Squadron. Of the 114 members,
20 were new members inducted
into the club over the previous
two weeks. Thanks to everyone
who supported the Club on this
important day.
Armed with all manner of tools
and a huge range of capabilities
and trade skills, we were able
to carry out a wide range of
projects and jobs without having
to resort to hiring expensive
external labour. Equipment at
our disposal included a bobcat
(Dean Atkinson), a scissor-lift
(Ken Mathews) and a whole host
of equipment including trailers,
ladders, chain saws, blowers and
brush cutters. A small army of
members wielding paint brushes
and garden tools completed the
effort.
sort of support is what makes our
Club a really special place for
members and their families.
Our Social Committee provided
valuable assistance on the day
by preparing our morning tea and
lunch – thanks guys and gals. This
Thank you to all those members
and friends who have supported
our maintenance efforts
throughout the year.
By the time you read this, we
will have commenced if not
completed the refurbishment
of our upstairs male and female
toilets. This work will enhance
these facilities for both members
and guests.
We are continuing to work with
Bayside City Council through their
gardens contractor (Citywide) to
improve, rehabilitate and replant
garden areas within and adjoining
our boundaries. Thanks Citywide.
