The council is opening the stinger net tomorrow morning at Balgal Beach (50k north of Townsville) so to celebrate there is a weekend of events in the area.

For fishos under 16, our club is running a junior fishing comp 10am-1pm at Fishermans Landing with a heap of prizes and free icecreams. Bait will be supplied. BYO tackle and parent!

Other stuff includes raffles and BBQs at The Landing on Saturday and on Sunday there is a breakfast at Rollingstone Pub followed by a Car Rally thingy at the nearby park from 12 noon.

The council is expecting a couple of thousand visitors over the 2 days so we'll be there flogging fish sandwiches and raffle tickets! And with the wind expected to be "fresh" the whole weekend, there's not much else to do.

We had 15 kids registered to fish. 1 small fish and crab landed in 4 hours but they persisted anyway. Unfortunately we were competing against a lifesaving clinic for kids at the new stinger net. All the kids got ice creams from Dick at Fishermans Landing and prizes sponsored by Pro Tackle so they had a good result.
