Member and visitors took part in the annual fishing competition on December 28-29, with presentations taking place over a barbecue and refreshments for Sunday lunch at the TAFC clubhouse at Kianinny.

The competitors struggled with rough conditions on Saturday before better fishing on Sunday morning.

Leading the charge was junior Evelyn Robinson who took home cash prizes for the heaviest snapper, morwong, sand flathead and tiger flathead.

The even younger Liam Clarke, 5, continued the family tradition winning heaviest leatherjacket and bream.

All the juniors who took part in the competition were also presented with a rod or reel.

In another positive piece of news shared at the presentation was that long-time club stalwart Barry Whittaker was awarded life membership.

Ray Spencer said Whittaker had been at the club for more than 50 years "but it's not just the time, but the effort he has put in".
