Marmion Angling & Aquatic Club W.A.
FROM THE CLUB MANAGER
CHASE THE ACE
The Jackpot now stands at $4,500.00. Since our last
newsletter Leo Prideaux drew the 9 of Diamonds, Simon
Irvine the 7 of Clubs, Todd Robinson the 10 of Spades,
Dennis Blake the Jack of Hearts, Rhett Shannon the 2
of Clubs, Martin Dew the 2 of Spades, Steve Trickett the
5 of Clubs, Michael Fernandez the 5 of Diamonds and
Deborah Newcombe the King of Clubs. We have one
Ace left on the board (Ace of Clubs).
Each week Club members are only eligible to enter
“Chase the Ace” so come down on a Wednesday
evening between 5.00 and 6.30pm and see if you can
take home the money. Buy a drink and the bar staff
will give you a few tickets so that you can “Chase the
Ace” and you may walk home with a nice bit of cash.
BEER PRICES TO REMAIN AS THEY HAVE BEEN FOR THE
LAST SIX MONTHS – NO INCREASE
In February and August each year our major suppliers
(Carlton and Swan) hand down a tariff increase and
whilst they have passed on an increase the MAAC for
the next six months will keep prices as they are today.
This is a bonus for members and all must be aware that
our tap prices are more than competitive and going
forward will be even more so given the decision to
refrain from any increase. This is just another way for
the General Committee and Management to ensure
members are looked after. Value is gained from
belonging to the Club and being a strong Club does
not mean that we always must chase that elusive profit.
BLUE WATER FISHING CLASSIC 2016
On Saturday, February 20th the MAAC successfully
held this annual event, the largest offshore fishing
competition in Western Australia. Seven hundred and
sixty anglers took to the water on what proved to be a
fabulous day. For once the weather gods got it right,
cool and windy (Easterly) in the morning flattening
out during the day and then our friendly Fremantle
Doctor did not let us down in the afternoon. Great
fishing conditions and after speaking with many of
the competitors the weather did not deter them
from catching some of the species available in the
Marmion Angling & Aquatic Club W.A. competition and it was just the luck on the day and
whether the fish were biting or not as to how many fish
they weighed in. Many good catches were recorded
and this will be reported on later.
As soon as the competition got underway from Hillarys
and Ocean Reef Marinas the set up team headed
by Paul Hillary readied the Club for the weigh-in that
started at around 4.30pm. Upstairs in the bars and Blue
Water Room Tony O’Dea and Ian Hardey had ensured
the Club was ready for the mass of people due back
to the MAAC and our chef Nigel Sweeney and his crew
again waived a magic wand and fed all right through
to the close late in the evening. Well done is extended
to the entire team at the MAAC for putting on such a
great event.
Now back to the fishing. Later in this newsletter are
photos of the winners and a list of all who received a
prize. On the day Mike Roenfeldt and Glenn Omond
dazzled the crowd on the stage with their banter and
knowledge on all the fish caught and telling stories of
the one that got away. To the team on the stage and
in the boatshed that processed all bags and displayed
the fish a job well done. A big thank you is extended to
all sponsors who assisted the club in making this event
the success that is was. Well done to all who took to the
water and we hope to see you back at the MAAC in
February 2017 next year for an even bigger and better
Blue Water Fishing Classic. Details of the major prize
winners and photos of the event are enclosed and
all the photos of the day are available on the web at
www.maac.com.au.

2016 STATE BOAT ANGLING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Every year the State Boat Angling Championships
are held at various clubs around the state and this
year they are to be hosted by the Lancelin Angling &
Aquatic Club “LAAC” at Lancelin.
On Saturday 19th March we are asking all MAAC
angling members to fish and support your club. This is
a fun day and a great weekend and a wide variety of
species are up for the take. Great prizes are there to be
won and the MAAC would like at the end of the day
to take home the title of State Champions. A list is up
on the notice board so please enter your name and
contact details if you would like to enter and fish for
your club. If you want to know more about this event
contact the Club Manager on 94471733.
AMBROSE GOLF DAY – 17th April, 2016
Book now and make up a team of four to be part of this
great day. The MAAC takes over one of the Wembley
courses for half a day and 144 ardent golfers show us
their skills.
Do not miss out, get your team together and book
at the office and book early. See the flyer later in this
newsletter for full details and costs.
WALLY LOTHIAN FISHING EVENT – ANZAC DAY
Monday 25th April 2016
A reminder to all that the Wally Lothian fishing event is
nearly upon us. For those unaware the “WALLY” is held
annually on ANZAC DAY in memory of Wally Lothian
who was a long standing member of the Club.
There is a “Sail Past and Dawn Ceremony” on the
water front of the Club starting at 7.45am and after
the tribute at 8.00am it is off to sea to fish and back at
the Club at noon to enjoy the fruits of the day. Tea &
coffee are provided down in the boatshed early in the
morning so bring down your friends and children and
help us commemorate this very important day in the
life of Australia.
The fishing event is a half day, in-shore fishing
competition that is focused mainly upon smaller
species, fun, camaraderie and having a good time.
The catch is donated to the cause and cooked for
all to enjoy whilst sampling the odd cold refreshment.
If you do not normally fish in the Club Competitions
but are interested in doing so, then this is the perfect
opportunity to ease your way in, meet other anglers
and have a good time along the way.
Non Members are permitted to fish this competition
but there must be a MAAC Member on each team.
Only a MAAC Member however is eligible to have a
victory recognised on the perpetual trophy.
If you are coming down after noon please bring your
salads and nibbles and please remember that what
we catch is available for a taste not a full meal. With
the new fishing restrictions on the number of herring
one can catch numbers may be down this year. Bring
down some steak and sausages and join in what is
always a great day at the Club and remember that
all those doing the cooking and donating the fish are
volunteers.
This is ANZAC DAY and all flags will be flown at halfmast in remembrance and respect for all who gave up
their lives, went to war or were in the forces. We should
and will never forget our comrades and this day is a
little way we at the MAAC can show our respect.
If you want to know more about the day call the office
on 94471733 or speak with one of our Committee
Members on duty throughout the weeks leading up to
the day.
MOTHER’S DAY
Sunday the 8th May is the day we set aside to remind
us all how important one’s Mother is. Here at the
MAAC we are holding a bumper lunch and we want
all to look after Mum or Grand Mother. We make the
day special for Mum and also have “Face Painting”
on the day for the children. A three course meal being
soup and bread roll served to the table followed by an
extensive buffet and then dessert served to the table
plus tea and coffee will ensure all are catered for.
Children 5 to 12 are half price. Booking is essential and
at a cost of $40.00 per adult you will certainly enjoy the
day and not go home hungry. Mum will also receive a
complimentary drink on arrival. Book early by calling
the office on 94471733.
ENTERTAINMENT
Over the coming months we have some great
entertainment coming up for all at the Club. The back
cover of this newsletter sets out the dates of when we
have bands and entertainment at the Club.

Marmion Angling & Aquatic Club W.A.
CITY OF JOONDALUP CONTINUES IMPROVING THE
CAR PARK AND SURROUNDS
As a Club member all would agree that the new car
park has proved a great success. In the coming weeks
to the northern end of the new car park a staircase
from the beach up to the road will be installed and
at the car park landing a fresh water shower has
been put in place for all to enjoy. Bike racks and two
motor cycle bays have also been included. New
security lighting throughout the car park has been
installed and the MAAC have located six new CCT
cameras for your protection in this area and these
are running 24/7.
To the rear of the car park along the seventy metre
stretch of wall abutting West Coast Drive a “Sea Scape
Mural” is being painted by the council depicting sea
life found in the Marmion Marine region. This will be
another added attraction to the area.
All would have noticed the new street lights out in
front of the Club along the median strip and this
with the inclusion of better marking on the roads
this is designed to slow traffic down and protect all
entering and leaving the Club. Further works are
underway with the council to better define speed on
the footpath and protect all. Watch this space as the
Mayor himself has weighed in on this project and we
are certain that new initiatives in the future will see a far
improved “Safety Plan” established not only for MAAC
members but also for the general public.
MANDURAH CRAB DAY
On the Australia Day weekend MAAC members and
their families travelled to Mandurah and set up a
base camp at the Dawesville boat ramp. From the
Friday prior through to the Sunday many had been
practicing their skills at catching the elusive crabs. The
MAAC ran the club bus down with a full complement
and all who attended certainly had a good serve of
crabs and enjoyed a very sunny afternoon. This is one
of those days where any member of the club can
join in and have a great day be it catching crabs,
eating crabs or just playing in the water or sitting on
the banks enjoying a lovely Sunday lunch. Check
out the photos both attached and on our website
www.maac.com.au and we hope to see more at
the event next year.
MAAC MERCHANDISE
Come downstairs and view the great range of MAAC
merchandise. Hats, caps, short sleeve polo shirts, rain
jackets and rugby tops. We have sizes for all at very
reasonable prices. Come down to the office, say hello
to the staff and try on some of the goods.. New stock

FROM THE PRESIDENT by Martin Hall
When I joined the MAAC I like most people did it to get
something from the club, in my case to learn to fish
and enjoy meeting new people socially. Well I have still
got more to learn but have certainly benefited from
my 8 years with the club. It is for that reason that I have
served on General Committee for several years and
last year took on the role of MAAC President, because
I felt it was time I gave back to the club that has given
so much to me.
My job as President has in no small part been made
a lot easier from having a great team of staff led
by Robert and a very cohesive and active General
Committee and I really appreciate their support.
The club is in a very good financial position with January
reflecting results well above previous years in all areas
of bar, kitchen and overall performance and it’s one
of the reasons we have been able to hold our beer
prices again.
updated as we progress.
It is opportune to thank all those who volunteer for
our various committees and timely to especially thank
Kevin Murphy, Paul Hillary, Glenn Omond and their
Blue Water Classic committee for another successful
event in 2016.
Finally let me express our appreciation to Robert and
all the staff at the MAAC who constantly try to keep
us all happy, which is no easy task especially on busy
days and events like the Blue Water Classic day.
So if you haven’t been down to the club in a while
make the change and come down and enjoy good
times with old friends and maybe make new ones
while you’re here.
Martin Hall
PRESIDENT
Your General Committee having led the club through
much disruption over the past several years is now
placed to be proactive and act to see the MAAC
continue its reputation as a great club and to return
benefits to you our members.
We are actively pursuing projects and reviews around,
House Rules & Constitution, Club Management Systems,
Kitchen and Restaurant, prospects of a Club Boat in
the future and the feasibility of installing a Dumb Waiter
to serve food in the Seawall Bar.
These projects are in the development phase with no
guarantees of implementation. They first need to pass
a vigorous review process by GC and we will keep you

DRINKING OR SMOKING IN FRONT OF THE CLUB IS PROHIBITED
Please refrain from smoking or taking drinks outside the entrance door. The
Club permits smoking out on the balcony on the ocean side not near the

by law. Please abide by this direction as set by the General Committee.

As you may have noticed through media outlets
recently, now is the time that premier touring company
Scenic, announce their pre-release European River
Cruising programme for 2017. As I have said before
these deals are always the best you are going to get
for travel in 2017 with this fantastic holiday company. A
Scenic river cruise should be near the top of everyone’s
bucket list!
The deals they are promoting right now offer 2017
cruising and tours at 2016 prices, this can sometimes
save you up to $1000 per tour! They have special
opportunities for certain times of the year for an
upgrade to Business Class for an additional $1995
per person, now wouldn’t that just make a wonderful
holiday! You can also pay in full by 31May and get a
further $600 per couple off the price! There are other
opportunities available to make this a fabulous deal
for a great holiday.
If any of the above interest you, you need to strike while
the iron is hot! These deals are only available for a short
time and are limited. In January I had the great honour
of being named number 3 consultant in Australia for
Scenic out of 25000 consultants, so to celebrate this
achievement we will also throw something into the pot
to sweeten the deal for you!
In October last year I had the opportunity to travel
with Scenic on their 13 day South of France river cruise
from Dijon to Tarascon. I have in the past cruised from
Amsterdam to Budapest, Amsterdam to Basel and
Amsterdam to Frankfurt and totally loved them all, but
this has to be near the top for me.
As we travelled south down the beautiful Rhone River
we visited amazing towns such as Beaune known for
beautiful wines and mustards, ah what a treat! Another
great experience is Tournus where not only do you get
the chance to try more beautiful wines but they are
accompanied by the great delicacy truffles! The taste
is divine!
As a history buff, I loved all the incredible towns we
visited along the river as almost all of them are heritage
listed, and they have a history of 1500 years plus in most
places. The highlight for me was a visit to Pont du Gard
to see the UNESCO heritage listed Roman Aqueducts
built over 2000 years ago. Stunning, and have to be
seen to be believed!
We travel through all the great wine areas of France,
but for non wine lovers, there are as always, plenty of
alternative tours to take each day. There is a fabulous
Benedictine Abby in Cluny and Notre Dame Basilica
in Lyon. Alternatively walk the cobblestone paths of
yesteryear in the medieval hilltop town of Perouges. If
this isn’t to your liking visit the exclusive culinary school
of Paul Bocuse and perfect the art of French cuisine!
What about a guided walk of Tain L’Hermitage
including tastings at Valrhona Chocolates! For the
adventurous there is bike riding and you can canoe
through one of Europe’s largest natural canyons!
In Tournon you have the
chance to board an
historic steam train that
travels through stone
tunnels and forested
mountains perched high
above valley streams.
What a delightful
experience, the scenery is breathtaking!
This is a 13 day cruise through the most beautiful country
side and at a very easy pace, with lots of time to spend
in beautiful quaint villages, so relaxing.
For further information on this great cruise holiday, or
any of the fabulous Scenic cruises in Europe, or if you
would like to make a booking, give me a call and set
up an appointment.
Regards, Carol.

CAPTAIN’S REPORT by Kevin Murphy
9TH JANUARY 2016 MONTHLY FISHING COMPETITION
Wishing all members a very happy New Year. May
this year provide lots of success and good weather
conditions for all competitors. January got off to a
great start. The weather was calm all morning with a
late afternoon north-westerly breeze. This provided
good boating conditions. Thirty seven fishing boats,
seventy-seven anglers, together with seven dive boats
and seventeen divers participating. Although the
conditions were good the fish seemed reluctant to bite!
Double Winners on the day were Gerard Murphy and
Glen Carter with a total score of 58.69. Gerard also
took out the Singles and Species award. Runners up
Doubles went to Filko Bavcevic and myself. Fishing
with us on the day was Justin Bolitho who took out the
prize for largest Breaksea Cod.
Singles runner up was Dave Woodcock. Sara his wife
won the Ladies award. Dave also caught a very Good
Pink Snapper weighing 6.91 kilos. I understand that
Dave perfects the anchor and burley technique.
Junior winner went to Sarah Chessells and runner–up
went to Luke Moran. Great to see these young Juniors
regularly in the winning circles. Mini Junior went to
Maisie Malseed with a score of 6.83 almost as good as
our junior winner. Well Done!
Visitor’s prize went to Fred Kober who fished with his son
Dieter, whilst holidaying here from Melbourne.
Spear-fisherman Doubles went to Paul Arais and Luke
Tobin. They caught a nice bag of fish which included
a great Spanish Mackerel. Dhufish award went to Brett
Dunn with a nice fish of 15.88kilos. Spear-fisherman
Michael Fernandez also weighed in a good Dhufish,
both receiving a bottle of Bourbon for their efforts.
Fish of the Day (Baldchin Groper) awards went
to Spearfishing participant Amanda Schupp and
Angler Alan Omond. Carryover Fish of the Day, from
December Competition, went to Paul Arais and angler
Mark Gault. Largest Samson fish went to John Cant
and Shaun Murphy received the award for the largest
Shark. Tailor and Garfish prize went to our Veteran
fisherman Ken Matthews. Other Veteran Anglers who
did well were Brian Green with a 1 kilo Squid and Noel
Williams winning the Whiting award. Diver Brett Richards
weighed in a very respectable Cray-fish of 2.27kilos.
A great crowd came down for both the Weigh-in and
Presentations. Many stayed on for the BBQ and had
an enjoyable evening. I would like to thank all who
participated in the competition and members who
helped on the day. Thanks, greatly appreciated.
Our next two months, February and March will be very
busy with the different competitions.
I wish all participants all the best of luck!
Kevin.

POOL REPORT by Kevin Craft
PEPF SUMMER COMPETITION
As I don’t play in the summer competition I am not
always across the situation. I asked the summer players to put
together a report and this is what they came up with...
This year we decided to change things up and have
a designated A team and a B team Instead of having
two even teams. The A team were testing their skills
by going up a division into the A league and playing
teams with recognised WA State players and teams
consisting of several very strong players. The season
got off to a flying start with the A team winning their
first match 16-14 after trailing 13-14.
The winner that night was definitely the new strategy
with the losing team congratulating the MAAC A team
on a great win played in style! This sadly was the last
time the A team won for 4 weeks as a series of close
games resulted in the MAAC A team coming a close
second by the nearest of margins.
drains his opponents. Yet to tap his full potential, on soft
shots he still has to faucet.
Greg Fussell, usually found perched in small tin sheds
way above Fiona Stanley craning his neck at passersby. Unable to have meals delivered, Greg has lost
weight, can now tread water in a garden hose & has
to run around in the shower just to get wet.
Clint Stonier, an excellent player until he recently
experienced a loss – would anyone finding the
aforementioned brain please put in the bottom of an
empty Guinness glass as Clint seems to be staring into
every one.
Paul Cain had this to say regarding the one strong
team strategy;
“This year Steve Cox decided to change
things and totally (expletive deleted) it up
with changing players around. Resulting in
both teams doing very average at best,
instead of his team doing very average and
the supposedly “B” team going all the way
taking out the Champion of the Champions
trophy singing “We are the champions”.
Steve - that’s “We are the champions”
To help put things in perspective the guys put together
the following resume of the A-Team;
Unfortunately we started the season with a decided
handicap – a pommie, captain Paul Cain. Paul speaks
in a strange dialect so we usually just nod & smile &
continue with what we were doing. He plays ok, 2nd in
the overall averages so we’ll probably keep him.
Vice-captain Steve Cox, a master plumber, cleverly
takes plenty of time over his shots which psychologically

Keith Alderslade, obviously the glue that hold this
disheveled disparate motley crew of reprobates
together. Usually the one who puts the team
triumphantly over the line with shots of incredible skill &

yet another day living the dream…….

MAAC POOL CLUB
2015 - We are the champions
Since my last report we have had only one competition
which was held on the 31st January (the December
comp. was cancelled as it fell on the yuletide long
weekend).
Weatherwise it was an awful day with blustery wintry
conditions slap bang in the middle of summer! If I
had not known better I could have imagined I was in
Melbourne. Due to the weather we had a very poor
turnout. Just as we were about to call it a day a few
more stragglers entered the Sea Wall bar, and being a
quorum we were able to hold a competition, albeit a
bit smaller field than usual.
John Kirwan
It was great to see a couple of the darts hustlers, in
the form of John & Annette Kirwan, sign on for the
competition. At the end of the day we ended up with
quite a lively bunch of players taking a very relaxed
approach to their game. With some well-timed quips
and no sheep stations on the table, it was a fun
afternoon.
Steve Cox won the $25 voucher whilst Paul Cain was
crowned champion for the day.
Paul Cain
The next monthly competition will be held on the 27th
March.
If you are interested in having a go, or just want to
watch, check the Grapevine for news of this event. It
is generally on the last Sunday of the month but can
sometimes change if it is a public holiday or clashes
with another event.
We are always looking for new players, so please drop
in on a Monday night, have a few games and find out
more about the Pool Club.

Dive section report continued...
Crayfish on the day, with only the heaviest Cray caught
being recorded on the board for the monthly prize and
be eligible for the end of year award. This includes both
Scuba and Free diving (Spearfishers), there will be no
need to weigh and record all crayfish, only the biggest
and this should save some time on busy days. Divers must
hold a rock lobster license and Crays are only to be taken
by hand or looped - no hooks.
FREE DIVERS (SPEARFISHERS)
Free divers (Spearfishers) will be eligible to weigh in any
of the fish on the species list. The Spearfishing section
will have their own awards for the heaviest of the listed
species on the score board in the boat shed and be
awarded the heaviest if speared, separate to the fishing
section. The only exception is that the monthly species prize
for fish of the day can go to a diver or angler.
Both divers and fishers weights (points) will be recorded on
board, for all listed species, spear fishers under anglers in Green.
Their monthly species points will only go towards the
doubles Spearing end of year awards.
The Islands lie about 60 kilometres west of Geraldton, on
the Western Australian coast, and consist of 122 islands
clustered into three main groups: the Wallabi Group,
Easter Group and Pelsaert Group, which extend from
north to south across 100 kilometres of ocean.
Lying in the stream of Western Australia’s warm, southwardflowing Leeuwin Current, the marine environment
surrounding the Abrolhos is a meeting place for tropical
and temperate sea life. Abrolhos Islands Trips include all
meals and depart from Geraldton on the Wednesday
night and return Sunday afternoon.
The Southern Image now has a desalination plant for
unlimited showers, a bread maker to wake up to the
smell of fresh bread and muffins and a coffee machine
for one of Luke’s amazing coffees at breakfast
KOMODO JUNE 2017 OVERSEAS DIVE TRIP
I have already been approached by people wanting
to bring friends along so realistically we have about 16
people ready to pay the deposit.
Their scores will not go to fishing end of year awards.
Spearfishers can weigh in their heaviest Crayfish to be eligible
for the heaviest Cray for the month and end of year awards.
This trip is a first paid first on trip (I did my online booking
and paid my deposit today). Bookings can be made by
contacting Joseph or myself and we will provide a link. All
details on how to pay the $1,000.00 deposit are included.
NOISE AND HELPING OUT AT MONTHLY COMPETITIONS
It would be greatly appreciated when attending the
monthly weigh-in to keep the noise down so that the
weigh-in staff can get their jobs done. Also after all the
fish have been cleaned it would be helpful if you can
give a hand in putting the cleaning tables away. Please
remember to clean up your tables and put rubbish into
the bins and dishes on the sink at the end of the night.
Unlike previous organised “MAAC DIVE” Trips this is not
a MAAC DIVE MEMBERS & FRIENDS EXCLUSIVE trip. From
24th Feb 2016 (yep - next week - not next year) any spots
not taken will be available on the Dive Adventures Online

MAAC JUNIORS by Simon Irvine
MAAC Juniors returned after the Christmas break on
Sunday 10th January with the Juniors straight back into
their normal activities of kayaking, snorkelling, fishing,
swimming and general water fun. Then after burning
up some energy, slowing down with table tennis, pool
and foozball. A quick energy boost from the canteen
and repeating the same process again.
It is an interesting morning when Juniors go snorkelling
after the monthly abalone day. They return to the
shore with all sorts of lost and broken dive gear. Lost
screwdrivers are the most common find, along with
the odd flipper, masks, booties and gloves. A dive bag
with a dozen abalone was found one morning.
Mick Chessells has been taking out several Juniors
fishing on his boat Sunday mornings (weather
permitting). It’s great to see them return all smiles and
hear their stories of fish caught and the ones that got
away. It’s such a good experience for the Juniors to go
fishing with Mick, as he passes on his knowledge and
teaches them “hands on fishing”. What better way to
learn, while out on a boat and from somebody with
such a love of fishing. Thanks Mick!
kayaks were out and a few games of beach/grass
volleyball were played. A fun day was had by all,
topped off with a feed of freshly caught crabs.
On one of the windier Sundays at The Boatshed, the
lifesavers from Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club gave
us some demonstrations on how to perform water
rescues. They also taught us how to use the defibrillator
machine and oxygen bottle.
At the time of writing, Chase The Shark major prize still
hasn’t been won. Only 3 cards left on the board. Good
Luck!
We have a busy month of March with Patron’s Cup
in Jurien Bay March long weekend, Moore River
Kayaking Day on Sunday 13th March and State Boats
in Lancelin on Saturday 19th March. All MAAC Juniors
are encouraged to fish in these competitions and
monthly MAAC Competitions.
Unfortunately we had to postpone our MAAC Juniors
Fishing Classic yet again due to a strong wind warning
issued by The Bureau of Meteorology. Better to be safe
than sorry. We are still trying to find a suitable date to
reschedule.
The MAAC Juniors met up with rest of the MAAC
down at the annual Mandurah Crab Day on the 24th
January. We took both the MAAC dinghies down to
the estuary and the Juniors put in a great effort to get
the boat limit for both dinghies. There were many crabs
caught, however the majority were just a millimetre or
two undersize, so we were crabbing for a while as the
Juniors were determined to reach their limit. While the
Juniors waited their turn for a run in the dinghies, the

The final day for MAAC Juniors will be a day trip to
Rottnest Island on Sunday 3rd April, so keep this day
free in your diaries.
Finally thanks to all the volunteers and Juniors
Committee Members who put in a fantastic effort
to make an enjoyable season for our MAAC Juniors.
It couldn’t be done without all of your help.

SPEARFISHING
by Mike Kane
JANUARY COMPETITION.
The January competition went ahead with some nice
weather and good catches.
Those who ventured further north seemed to fair best
with Mike Fernandez and visitor Paul Arais taking out
first prize. Amanda Schupp represented the ladies well
with a respectable baldchin weighing 3.559 kgs.
It certainly appears those who have been diving and
training consistently are seeing improved results. It’s
that time of year that the jacks are in town so next
month should yield some good fish.
YOGA
Thursday night training has been moving along. I’m not
sure that the instructor can work miracles on some of
us, however, I am sure there will be some benefits.
It’s $15 per head and all are welcome.
Mike Kane - Dhufish
TRAINING
Pool training - we have now secured the dive pool that
is much better suited for our training. We only have the
space for one hour so please arrive 5:45 pm for a 6:00
pm start.
ABROHLOS TRIP
We have secured a boat for an Abrohlos trip on the
weekend of the 8/9th May. The trip filled exceptionally
quickly so to any who missed out I am sure we will run
others throughout the year.
RECORDS
We have agreed to start a records list. These species will
be based only on the species in the monthly competitions.
Eligible fish must be speared by a MAAC member and
weighed in conjunction with all the associated rules to
the MAAC free diving section. Simply weigh in your fish
on the day to be eligible.
Regards
Mike Kane

MANDURAH CRAB DAY
24th January 2016
This year’s Crab Day was held on a beautiful
summers day on Sunday the 24th January on the
Dawesville Foreshore.
Club Members, visitors all joined along with the
MAAC Juniors and their families. The Foreshore
was a hive of activity with the carpark full of many
boats and trailers. I had gone along early to secure
a spot, however our Junior members families had
already set up in preparation for the crab cook- up
and picnic lunch. The Club bus, driven by Spencer
arrived with a full load of MAAC Members. Spencer
feels he deserves a pay rise after having to endure
a sing along from HIS passengers on the long
journey home.
Everyone enjoyed the usual feed of crabs freshly
cooked & presented. Many thanks goes to all the
members who regularly catch their limit of crabs
and bring them along to share. Lots of time goes
into this and is greatly appreciated. This year it was
a little hard to find legal crabs as so many were just
under size.
NACA award was mentioned by our members, but
More pics on page 7
no one seems to know where it is. If any member
knows of its whereabouts please let the Club or
myself also know. It would be fun to get the Award
happening again!
The chief crab cooker of many years on the
crabbing days was always Bill Hauth. He was sadly
missed this year and his name was definitely
mentioned on the day by many other fellow MAAC
members who held him in high regard.
Australia Day Patronage was very evident on the
day with many members’ boats displaying our flag.
It was a very enjoyable day and for some a
wonderful long weekend.

DARTS FROM THE OCHE by Chris McCarthy
Well MAAC darts returned from the Christmas, New Years break with regained vigour to improve in 2016, with
mixed results throughout the five teams representing the club across the three divisions.
B1 Division
B2 Division
C Grade (cont.)
MAAC Black, returned fresh and
on top of their game after the
break and have only lost the one
game (only had 5 players) and sit
comfortably on top of the ladder
with 8 wins and 2 losses. Players for
the round were Rob Jones 77.76
average and Julian Dinardo 71.47
and a 112 peg. They have been
ably assisted by new team member
Jed Woodcock who joined the
team in the New Year.
MAAC White, were slow to find their
feet on the return but have come
to find regular form in the last few
games. A pretty well balanced
team has seen input from all players
and sit fourth on the ladder with
6 wins, 4 losses leading into finals
.Good performances from Shane
Jones and Steve Allan against
better players have helped in lifting
the teams ranking. Top average
for the round was Bob Glass with a
60.50 / 59.65.
MAAC Green The team returned
after the break after losing prior to
Christmas to Sorrento White (who
only managed to field 5 players)
with the determination to win at
least one game for the season.
Things didn’t look promising having
to play the top two sides to open
the seasons return but they went
close losing 6-5 to the top side. They
then went on to play Quinn Grey
and it went down to nearest the
bull in the final singles game...THEY
WON!! Unfortunately they still sit last
on the ladder with 11 losses, 1 win.
Top average went to new recruit
Geoff Yorath with a 52.19.
Their ability to finish of games is
costing them dearly as is the ability
to field a consistent team due to
outside influences. From all reports
there have been some good
individual performances including
a peg of 91 to Ian Lennox and 3
pegs to Ian “Jock “Beaton.

MAAC Red sit in second place with
6 wins, 3 losses and a draw heading
into the final stages of the season.
First game after the break and they
play MAAC Blue in the Derby , and
from all accounts all players were
very “rusty” as no player managed
to throw an average of 35 or better,
fittingly it ended in a draw. Since
then things have improved and
they now sit in second position on
the ladder. Highlight of the round
with an average of 59.18 was John
Kirwan.
MAAC Blue led by “Clubman
of the Year” Gerry Pooley follow
very closely in the footsteps of
MAAC Green and find themselves
floundering at the bottom of the
ladder.

around 10.30pm. The club has five teams at present represented across four divisions with empathise on social
interaction with like minded people. So if you are a dart player or just want to give it a go or just want more
