Meanwhile, junior fishers cleaned up at the Tathra Amateur Fishing Club Christmas tournament at the weekend.

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.
