Horrocks to Kalbarri Fishing Field Day October 2003.

This field day was planned to coincide with the AAA State Beach and Rock championships. The boundaries were from Horrocks to Kalbarri, which included the famous Wago reef.
A total of fourteen club members fished the weekend, of which ten made the trip north to Port Gregory. As Vix and I had not fished this area before, the seven-hour drive did little to dampen our enthusiasm for a chance to fish the Wago area.
We fished the lagoon at Lucky Bay on the Saturday afternoon and night. Great location and perfect weather combined to give up just one fish for about eight hours of solid fishing. Sunday morning we drove further north in search of some action, fortunately the swell was not too high and we were able to fish some of the broken reef along the beach. Tony and Filomena fished Wago with the remainder of the crew fishing around the Port Gregory area.
The AAA weigh in was Sunday afternoon but our club weigh in was not until the Monday morning. For some of us this meant that we had another night's fishing in order to present a reasonable bag. For a couple us however, this was not necessary, they had caught enough by Sunday lunch time to leave everybody with their mouths open.

Notable catches for our weigh in:
The heaviest bag was weighed in by Tony, with a total of 38.3 kg of gilled and gutted fish. The bag included 2 dhufish, 2 mulloway, a parrot fish, pink snapper, tailor and tarwhine. This effort also earned Tony the individual prize for AAA. Filomena weighed in the heaviest scale fish, a 7 kg mulloway which also earned her the women's individual prize for AAA.
Peter Stoeckel was also amongst the AAA prizes with the heaviest whiting. Matt Henderson weighed in a 4.6 kg shark for our club and also claimed the single handed category with a 400g tailor and the fly rod category with a 300g tailor.
On the subject of tailor and more specifically big tailor, there were a couple of fish over 4 kg weighed in at Port Gregory. But there was also a good size tailor weighed in for our local competition, 4.3 kg by John Jardine to be exact. A very good catch especially from a metro beach.
Another to do rather well was Nick Hocking who managed seven species for the local including three salmon trout, eight black bream, and an assortment of flathead, herring, tailor, whiting and wrasse.
It was a great weekend away, an opportunity to have you toes in the sand for a couple of days in one of Western Australia's premier fishing locations and witness some eye popping catches, does it get any better?
Hope to see you on the beach next time. Malcolm Harris Field Day Officer
