It looks like it will be a tight finish to the Club's fishing year with Anthony Heiser and Steve Bailey neck and neck in most Championship categories.

However, the rest of the pack is not far behind, so there's always the chance of a late run by any one of a number of "black horses".

Next month's outing is the traditional Queen's Birthday long weekend trip to Narooma. This outing usually produces some huge Australian Salmon off the beaches, so there's every chance of an upset in the Club Championship.

For those with a boat, I'm still hearing reports of good Kings at the island ... and the Albacore and Bluefin tuna can't be too far away. Whether you fish bluewater, estuaries or the beaches, it should be a great finale to the fishing year.
