OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF THE NICKOL BAY SPORTSFISHING CLUB
El Señor Presidente.
Ahoy there, Sportsfishers!
We had a great kick off to the month
with some outstanding captures [see
cover] and the fly-fishing skills demo’
at the club meeting night. Where we
got to see fly tying, watch some local
footage and try our hand at casting
the long wand. Big thanks to Browny,
Deano and Trav’. As well as the
“Saltwater Fly Workshop” for the
stickers and prizes for the upcoming
Fly Fishing Comp’ weekend.
It’s starting !
Barra season is upon us so dust off the
Barra gear, load up with tags and get
into it.
“I choose to
Tag & Release
all locally caught
Barramundi”
It is not illegal to take a Barra.
But remember, ours’ is a delicate
Barramundi fishery with small creek
systems right at the southern edge of
their geographical territory.
Scotty - President NBSFC
Keep in mind that this species is very
vulnerable to fishing pressure. If we
want to continue to have a healthy
Barramundi fishery, catch and release
should be encouraged, both inside
and out of the club. Trout, Cod and
Reds are better for the table anyway.
See pg. 8
Please keep safe and I look forward to
hearing about some memorable
captures in the coming month.
Regards
Scott [Scotty] Medling
President NBSFC

“So that’s the secret” m om ent for newbies.
On the Fly
Thanks to: NBSFC Members: Dean Lucas
[Saltwater Fly Workshop & Harfin Reels], and also
Travis Brinkhuis and Wayne Brown.
Travis showed amazing raw footage of
Razorback Sportsfishing sight casting fly’s at
teased up sailfish for spectacular hookups.
Dean spoke of 1-1 gear ratios, walking the
flats and 800mm+ Barra. Wayne
demonstrated how “easy” it was to tie flies.
At the casting session on the jetty, amongst
the deafening bull whip cracks of the novices,
Brownie picked junior Toby Mason as
Having the best style.
Barramundi
Rigging Night
@ the
October
meeting!
Sportsfisher asked ANSA Fly Fish 2,3&4kg
record holder Brownie, what was it about
SW fly-fishing that’s got him hooked?
“…it’s Hunting - Sight, Chase,
Target, Trick, and Capture”.

Following last night’s meeting. The fly comp will be held next weekend 19&20 September.

Fish for the longest divisions must be measured on a club board and a photo taken.

Weigh Master’s Report
The scales have been given a work out by
club members this month and several record
claims made.
Dampier Classic weigh sheets for “the
Judge” and “Simrad” are now in. This has
seen Mark [Cotty] Cottrell, Justin [Jutto]
Neil, Hamish [Hammer] McLeod, Ryan [RT]
Turner and Brenton [Bozzar] Cartledge all
enter the top ten. Aside from those weigh
sheets we have also seen some other
captures that are certainly worth a mention.
WeighMaster Luke Leech presents NBSFC ‘s
Tom Radley with WA & Australian Record
Capture Certificates.
Firstly, Unnalise [Unna] Radley’s Golden
Trevally is one she will not forget for awhile.
Unna captured 2 Goldens’ on the same day
with the highlight definitely the 5.84KG fish
caught on 1KG line class Gamefishing tackle!
Scoring her 876 points and a pending
Australian National Sportsfishing Association
[ANSA] Gamefishing record! [see cover]
Ryan [RT - the skinny one] Turner upgraded his
Long Tail Tuna from FeNaClNG with a 10.79kg
fish on 3kg Sportfishing tackle. The 539 points
earned RT an extra 119 points and is now the
leading fish in the HPS Tuna category.
Congrat’s Unna, that’s a
Ripper capture!
Justin [Justo] Leech weighed both a Giant and
Big Eye Trevally adding 348 points to his
already big total. Kev Deacon also weighed a
Giant Trevally and added 234 points to his
tally. James [FatBoy] Gorham has weighed his
first ever fish with the club, a Skipjack Tuna,
that’s right a Skipjack Tuna that weighed
3.74kg on 3kg Sportfishing tackle. Congrat’s
James on entering the world of capture!
Still plenty of fish in the blue water, so nail a
couple while you can.

JUNIOR CAPTURE STANDINGS
Competition is alive and well in
this section with juniors Tasmin
[Tazzy] Kyle and Toby [Tobes]
Mason adding to their totals.
Tazzy tagged a Sailfish and a
Black Marlin and also weighed
her first fish on 2kg line class.
Her
2.25kg
Broad
Barred
Mackerel scored 112 points but
also shows that she is keen to
fish lighter now, watch out boys!
Tobes, who got the word that
Tazzy had scored a few points,
decided he’d better go chase
some
points
himself
and
managed to weigh 3 fish.
Including a 5.34kg Broad Barred
Mackerel on 4kg Sportfishing
tackle to claim a pending ANSA
junior record. He also weighed
another BB Mackerel - 3.56kg on
2kg for 178 points and a Golden
Trevally - 2.79kg on 2kg for 209
points.
These
2
fish
are
also
pending
ANSA
junior
records, this tim e in the
Gam efishing section.
Good work Toby and Tasmin,
can’t wait to see what you
produce in September!

Tag & W eigh Inform ation, Deadlines & Fine Print:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Tag information must be submitted to tagging co-coordinator maximum 30 days from date
of capture to count for club points. Except June Tagging information must be submitted by
1st July.
This also includes any weigh sheets to be included in the Capture section must be handed
to the weigh master maximum 30 days from the date of capture for club points. Except
June where all information must be submitted by 1st July.
Species indicated with a “*” should be tagged with NSW Fisheries tags only. DO NOT use
the ANSA WA tags to tag these species.
There is no restriction on gear type used to capture the fish i.e. 100lb hand line is
acceptable for tagging, this is to ensure maximum chance of survival.
It is promoted to tag fish under that of the “minimum length”, as long as the fish has a
good chance of survival. The minimum length is only relevant for club points.
Both overall & fork length must be noted on tagging sheets for Threadfin Salmon
(King & Blue).
If tagging Black Jewfish it is important that a correct identification is made. There is a
particular species that looks very similar that only grows to a short length. This can cause
some confusion as they could be misidentified as a juvenile Black Jewfish. These fish should
not be tagged.
