Marmion Angling & Aquatic Club W.A.
FROM THE PRESIDENT by Martin Hall
When representing the Club I feel it is a great privilege
and none more so than at the 2016 Clubs WA Awards
for Excellence night a few weeks ago when my wife
and I joined some of the staff as finalists in several
categories.
To sit there and hear Verity James announce on several
occasions the Marmion ANGLICAN and Aquatic Club
(yes she did struggle with our name), gave me a real
buzz and to receive two major Club Awards and have
the opportunity to express my personal thanks to the
management and staff of the MAAC as well as each
and every one of our members. Club of the Year (Large)
Award for the second year in a row, that’s fantastic.
We are a great and proud Club and yes Verity wasn’t
far wrong as for some of us it’s almost a religion to be
involved in aquatic activities with the MAAC.
I must take this opportunity to congratulate our Chef Tim
White who won Employee of the Year and our function
room staff led by Tony O’Dea & Jessica Cockcroft who
received the Best Club Function Facility (Large) Award.
Shaun Murphy was runner up in the Inspiration Award
and Ken Jackson got a special recognition certificate
in the Volunteer Contribution Award as an exceptional
volunteer at the Club (view more photos on page 6).
It was also good to see a very good friend and
supporter of the Club, Mal Atwell recognised for his
contribution as Best Product Supplier of the Year and
of course, our Club Manager Robert Weir took out the
accolades in that area. Shame you couldn’t be there
Robert to receive your honour.
Of course when the Club of the Year was announced
it was accepted proudly by myself but very much
humbly on behalf of you the members. It’s your Club,
you are a very big part in making it what it is and it’s
your award as much as anyone’s.
So we can go into another year feeling proud to be
known as members of the Club of the Year and let’s
keep the momentum going for another year. Three in
a row in 2017!!!
Martin Hall
PRESIDENT
I should also mention Colin Carruthers who was a
finalist in the Members Choice Club of the Year Award
and Nigel Sweeney who entered the Best Club Chef of
the Year Award but on the day of the Master Chef style
cook off, just was not quite good enough to receive
the judges award.
Club of the Year Award accepted by Martin Hall (more photos page 6)
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
kitchen and the drinking of alcohol out the front of the Club is not permitted
by law. Please abide by this direction as set by the General Committee.

FROM THE CLUB MANAGER by Robert Weir
CHASE THE ACE
The Jackpot now stands at $900.00. Since our last
newsletter the Ace of Clubs was drawn by Bert
Cooperwhite taking home a cool $1600.00. Well done
Bert it has as you stated been a long time coming. Jordan
Oldfield drew the 6 of Diamonds, Peter Costigan the Queen
of Hearts, Nadine Freeman the 9 of Spades, Ian McNee
the Queen of Clubs, Ben Pascoe the Ace of Diamonds and
won $150.00, Fritz Nebel the 9 of Clubs, Garry Williams the 5
of Diamonds and Tony Antoniou the 4 of Diamonds.
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. A special thanks
is extended to Colm and Philomena Kane from Solomons
Flooring Joondalup as they are the key sponsors for ‘Chase
the Ace’ starting the board with a donation of $500.00.
Whenever you need flooring give them a call.
TRADING
April, May and June are always quiet times at the MAAC
with the weather generally being colder and wetter and
many decide to stay at home. The economy is also not
favorable and quite a few are feeling the pinch. We here
at the MAAC continue to ensure that your Club is the
most affordable and reasonable on the coast. Come
down for a snack at the bar, dinner in the restaurant or
just have a drink and watch the sunset. We want your
patronage and our staff will continue to do their best to
make sure whenever you are at the Club you are special.
BEER PRICES TO RISE MONDAY 1st AUGUST
We have been notified by our major suppliers that
effective 1st August tariff increases in the purchase of
alcohol supplied to the MAAC will be increased. The
General Committee has a policy that as and when
excise increases are handed down, which is twice a year,
1st February and 1st August that they are immediately
handed on. We have not moved our beer prices for twelve
months to ensure we look after our membership however
the new increases are nominal and management would
like all members’ to be aware that we will continue to
retain our selling prices well under our competitors and
always remain highly competitive.
OVERSEAS TRIP
From time to time it is nice to get away and charge the
batteries. My wife Karrin and I have just returned from a
trip with five of our friends to visit South Africa. We landed
in Johannesburg and flew straight to the Kruger Game
Reserve on the Crocodile River. One of our party is part
owner of a lodge in a truly wonderful part of the world
and we for over a week were fascinated by the array
of animals that walked past our door. This ranged from a
pride of lions to a herd of elephants, water buffalo, wilder
beast and much more. The river in front was full of hippos,
crocodiles and bird life as plentiful for all.
We then moved on to the Drakensburg Mountains for a
relaxing week and travelled up the Sani Pass into Lesotho.
This pass takes one to the highest point in South Africa
and the scenery is breath taking.
CLUB AWARDS 2016
Earlier in this newsletter our President Martin Hall spoke
about the results in the recent Clubs WA Awards for 2016.
As Club Manager I am personally so proud not only of the
fact that the MAAC took out Club of the Year (Large) but
for the fact that the entire team at the MAAC contributed
to this win. I have a great team working with me in all
areas and that is what makes a top Club, stability and
the knowledge that all are working for you the member.
To my entire staff, well done you all deserve a pat
on the back.

Also on the top of the pass is the highest and smallest
pub in Africa. We did partake of a refreshment on the
top as inside the pub it was warm, whereas outside it
was freezing. From there we went to Cape Town and
the sights from the top of Cable Mountain are hard to
better. We visited Robben Island where Nelson Mandela
was imprisoned for 17 years and this was certainly an
eye opener. As a tourist we also visited the beautiful wine
regions of Stellenbosch. A great trip, the dollar against
the rand was very favorable and we all enjoyed three
weeks of bliss.
Karrin and I left the others and travelled back to Sydney
just in time for the birth of our second grandchild Emilia
(Emi) to our daughter Natasha and her husband Stefan.
Emi is the little sister to Addison (Addi) and all are doing
well. Both Stefan and Natasha worked at the MAAC in the
bar when going through University and Stefan’s parents
Peter and Sheryl Giannas have been MAAC members
for years. We are four very happy grandparents.
MAAC MERCHANDISE - NEW WINTER STOCK
On the inside cover you can see some of our
merchandise, including beanies, hats, vests, polo shirts,
light rain jackets and rugby tops. We also have a new
heavy duty rain jacket (Husky - $85 as pictured above).
Come down to the office, say hello to the staff and try
on some of the goods. We have new stock available
and sizes for all at very reasonable prices!

WE ARE SEEKING YOUR HELP
Our angling division in conjunction with other Clubs are
working to help underprivileged people by supplying gifts of
either new or used fishing gear. This can be in the form of rods,
reels, casters or anything that could be cleaned up to assist
those in need.
We are sure many have a few items sitting in the shed that
may be of assistance so take a look and drop them down to
the MAAC office. We are a generous Club and will help out
wherever we can.

EXCITING NEWS! by Carol Shaw
This month’s article comes with some momentous news
from us! We have been located at Marmion Village
for just over 16 years and have loved calling this place
home, BUT, a few friends and I have come up with an
incredible idea that has never been tried before in the
travel industry in Australia or anywhere else in the world
that we are aware of!
On 4th July Tour de Force Travel begins an exciting business
transition which will provide greater travel opportunities
for you, our wonderful family of client’s.
After 16 years at Marmion Village we are relocating to The
Carine Quarter at the Carine Glades Shopping Complex,
only 5 minutes from our current location. Our contact
details will remain unchanged.
We are very proud of our new office and our dedicated
staff and I are all looking forward to welcoming you soon to
book your next adventure.
Below for your information I have attached a press
release that went out recently to the travel industry
and we received amazingly positive feedback about
this wonderful new innovation. If you would like more
information or clarification about what this move will
mean to you, please do not hesitate to contact me or
one of our staff members.
Elite Perth agencies adopt innovative
new business model
Three of Western Australia’s most respected travel agencies
are today pleased to announce an innovative new
venture that will see them tackle the issue of rising costs
by relocating into new shared business premises in Perth,
effective July 2016.
Carol Shaw (Tour de Force Travel), Jan Welch (Sorrento
Quay Travel) and Sue Holmes (Carine Travel Bug) will from
4th July 2016 move their businesses into a new shared office
in the Perth suburb of Duncraig.
While the three award-winning agencies will continue
to function as separate entities they will share the cost
of leasing the new office and an office administrator. In
addition, the three companies have created a new brand,
Elite Travel Group, for use in joint local marketing initiatives,
such as product evenings.
The initiative will allow the three agencies to dramatically
reduce overheads, and where appropriate combine
resources and experience to seize new sales opportunities.
Individually each company boasts decades of travel industry
experience, as well as strong alliances with a wide range of
partners, including airlines wholesalers and cruise operators.
This new operating model will allow them to share costs,
resources and experience, and ultimately enable the
principals to more-effectively focus on their core business
of selling travel and providing superior customer service to
their strong and well-established customer bases.
The new premises will officially open on 4th July 2016 at
Carine Quarter Unit 4/473 Beach Road Duncraig, corner of
Beach Road and Davallia Road.
To celebrate our new venture, all new bookings made from
4th July – 4th October to a value of $4000 or more will go
into a draw for a $10,000 travel prize! Now wouldn’t that be
just a little bit wonderful!
We hope you will all embrace our new venture and pop in
and see us over the next few months to see our new home
and have a chance of winning the big prize!
“WITHOUT A TRAVEL AGENT YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN”
We are your travel agent and we look forward to giving you the holiday you deserve!

CAPTAIN’S REPORT by Kevin Murphy
JUNE 18TH 2016 FISHING COMPETITION
After cancelling and postponing previous competitions
it was great to get one underway. We had 19 boats
and 34 anglers head out to fish this June competition.
Anglers found it to be a tough day out on the water
with strong North Easterly winds blowing stronger than
predicted and lasting most of the day.
There are no diving results as no divers joined the
competition this month. The waters were extremely dirty
and this could have been the reason for their absence!
The Squid Award again went to Roy Lukies with a nice
specimen of 0.656kg. Roy will be one to look out for
at our coming up Squid shootout which has been
forwarded to the 27th August 2016.
Ken Matthews true to form won the largest Tailor and
Garfish Award and took out the Veterans prize as well.
Tony Berichon won the largest Skippy Award which
weighed 1.561kg. Apparently Tony has caught some
great Skippy on non-competition days weighing up to
3kg. Flathead Award also went to Tony.
Darlene Shepherd also did well weighing in the largest
Breaksea Cod and taking out the Ladies Award. On
her boat another angler Jordan Oldfield had a good
day with the largest Sand Whiting Prize and Herring
which was also the Fish of the Day.
Visiting anglers, Luke Fernando won the largest Samson
with a weight of 20.64kg and Jay Chapman winning
the largest Pink Snapper with a weight of 3.52kg.
It was unusual to have no Baldchin Groper nor Shark
weighed in!
Rob Walters weighed in a very good King George
Whiting of 1.294kg which could be a contender for The
Kobe Cup Award for 2016. A week previously I had
weighed Ged Woodcock’s King George at 1.198kg,
sorry Ged your fame only lasting a week!
However Ged weighed in the largest Dhufish of 8.88kg.
He was also awarded last month’s Fish of the Day
Award.
Most Species Award went to Gerard Murphy & Glen
Carter who both had 7 Species respectively. They also
won Doubles Runners up. Doubles winners went to Filko
Bavcevic and myself only narrowly with a difference of
just 33grams.
Singles winner was Dave Woodcock & runner up went
to Terry Couldridge.
Great to see such a mixture of winners on the board
with prizes shared around. BBQ & presentation evening

on the study of the life cycle of the Southern Calamari
was most informative and interesting. Peter explained
that Southern Calamari found in different locations
have different life cycles. Paul an expert in squidding
techniques and tackle, had the audience’s attention
for over an hour. He displayed different gear and
techniques. Regularly travelling to Japan he is able to
purchase squid tackle and was very generous giving
some great squid gear to our fishermen to try.

POOL REPORT by Kevin Craft
VALE STEVE AIBERTI
Steve was raised by his family in Wittenoom. At that
time they were totally unaware of the dangers that
lurked there. Steve first worked at the mine and then
later joined the Royal Australian Navy, where he first
met Joan, his wife of 55 years. Later Steve joined the
Civil Aviation Authority as an air traffic controller.
He was totally committed to his family who were his
greatest joy. However he still managed to find time to
get in a spot of fishing, golf or pool - all three of which
he was pretty good at. Steve was also very active in
the Asbestosis Diseases Society and was always ready
to lend a hand when needed.
Shortly after I joined the Pool club, many years ago,
Steve’s brother Bob had succumbed to asbestosis,
and to remember him we set up the Bob Aiberti
Memorial trophy. This trophy forms the Pool Singles
Championship leg of the Annual MAAC Sports Day. In
2014, after several attempts, Steve finally got to win this
trophy and he was pleased as punch!
Steve was a talented pool player. He had great ball
control and could turn a game around in seconds with
a well calculated, sometimes almost impossible shot.
He was not averse to helping out the lesser players
either and was happy to spend time showing them
how to control the ball or as he put it - “check side”.
Apart from pool, the one talent that sticks in my mind
was his ability to whistle a tune, the like of which I had
never heard before. It was amazing, and also very offputting when you were about to take a shot!
Steve was always immaculately groomed and
probably a bit over-dressed for the pool table. In spite
of suffering for many years with asbestosis he was
always able to put on a brave face, soldier on, and
have a laugh. He was a true gentleman. R.I.P.
CLUB POOL ASSOCIATION
Since my last report we had reached the half-way
mark of the winter season. It is at this point that we
take a break from the normal matches and run the
doubles competition. This competition is spread over
Marmion Angling & Aquatic Club W.A. a two week period, and depending on numbers can
span more than one venue.
The MAAC put up four pairs for the event, however
only Mason & Greg and Dave & Mark got through the
elimination round. Unfortunately neither pair managed
to get into the finals.
John Logan & Oli Grumbar from Innaloo won the
competition by defeating Simon Brown & Peter
Wheeler from Scarborough Sportsman’s club by three
games to one.
At the time of writing we have just completed round
8. The Piranhas are in 3rd position whilst the Marlins are
in 5th position. Scarborough Eagles are in top position.
Looking more closely at the statistics though reveals
that out of two hundred games the Eagles and the
Piranhas are both on same game win rate percentage.
The only difference is that Scarborough have one more
match win, so things are still looking very promising for
the Piranhas.
MONTHLY COMPETITION
On the last Sunday of each month we hold a pool
competition open to all CPA players and MAAC
members and their guests. There is a $10 entry fee with
a guaranteed first prize of $100 and second prize is a
$25 MAAC voucher.
Since my last report we have had two monthly comps.
On the 24th April we held a knockout competition.
It was good to see representatives from Osborne Park,
Innaloo and Scarborough turn up for the event. Clint
Stonier managed to break the curse and defeat Carl
Harrison. He then progressed through to the Final where
he was up against Keith Alderslade. Unfortunately time
was against Clint as he had another engagement to
attend and so he graciously forfeited to Keith.
13
Pool report continued...
On the 29th May there were fewer numbers than the previous month so it was feasible to hold a round robin. Carl
Harrison had the most wins on the day whilst Paul Cain was the runner-up.
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.
If you would like to get regular updates on what is happening with the MAAC Pool club please email me at
kevin.craft@bigpond.com
Until next time...

DIVE SECTION REPORT by Paul Hillary
THE FREMANTLE FISH HARBOUR CLEAN
The Fremantle Fish Harbour Clean was held over the
weekend of April 30th and 1st May. There were about 200
people down over the two days. The MAAC had 24 divers
and land based helpers, so we were able to move a
massive amount of rubbish out of the area. Special thanks
to Bob Pendlebury for skippering the support boat for the
two days, we were the first ones on the water and the last off.
COMPRESSOR COURSE
There should have been a course run by the time you
receive this but contact me if you need to do a course to
use the compressor.
I would like to say a big thank you to all MAAC members
that gave up the weekend to pull rubbish out of Fremantle
Harbour. It is not an easy task as we have to get the
rubbish to the surface then onto the jetties or wharf then
barrow all rubbish from there to a central sorting area and
sometimes we needed to go 300 to 500 metres as there is
no access. The rubbish is then sorted and catalogued so
they know what kind of rubbish is ending up in the water.
CLUB DIVES
Dives are held on the fishing comp days and also on the 4th
Sunday of each month so contact me and we will try to get
you on a boat.
As this was an area where professionals and recreational
mariners keep their boats we understand that some
items fall off of boats due to wind and sea conditions. It’s
frustrating when you find a rolled up section of carpet with 3
marine batteries in it, you know that it has not just fallen into
the water. Also oil filters thrown into the water when there
is an oil dump point at the end of the jetties. What a great
effort by all that helped out over the weekend. We filled 4 x
12m³ bins, plus a heap of tyres and batteries. It is sad to see
so much rubbish in the water. These are our waters to enjoy;
hopefully we can educate people to be more responsible.
Hopefully next year when it is back at the Hillarys Marina
we can get a few more helpers from the club.

DIVE TRAIL
Since Michael Chessells has been helping things are
progressing. We need to do some diving around the reef
to pin point where we are going to place the marks and
what will be on them.
When the weather is good enough to dive the area we will
be out there, so if you are interested please let me know.
We will need photos and we will be placing marker floats to
see how it looks from the surface. This is so we can map the
area and for broachers.

ABROLHOS DIVE TRIP by Stuart Cruse
Our trip to the Abrolhos started with an easy drive up the
coast to Geraldton and a quick dinner before boarding
Image Dives well-equipped boat “The Southern Image”.
We got settled in while the crew set off through the night
to the northern islands, arriving at around 1am.
The Abrolhos Islands consist of 122 islands around 60
kilometres west of Geraldton and are broken up into
three main groups; Wallabi group in the north, Easter
group and Pelsaert group to the south.
We started our diving in the north, working our way south
as we went along doing three to four dives a day. After
an easy first dive to get used to using the surface marker
buoys (SMBs, to varying success!), we did two more
dives on our first day in great conditions, seeing Spanish
Mackerel, Baldchin Groper, a few Dhuies and Coral Trout,
and a big school of Bonitos.
We made the most of the good weather and had a
snorkel on Morning Reef where you can see what is left of
the Batavia wreck - a couple of anchors and a cannon.
We were lucky to get the chance to swim there because
conditions normally make it hard to get close, but the
weather was perfect.
We had a quick fish that afternoon and caught some red
throat emperors, which we had for dinner with some crayfish
we caught earlier. Cheryl was very excited to catch her first
ever fish, which was also the biggest for the day.
fish scraps to attract some fish and swam with Spangled
Emperors, Baldchin Groper and a small Wobbygong.
It was a great way to spend the break.
There is an abundance of sea life in Abrolhos and even
when we weren’t diving we saw a small pod of dolphins,
a couple of humpback whales, a large school of squid
swimming under the boat one night and some sea lion
pups when we went for a walk on one of the islands. Also
on the island in a small lake was a large Cod but no one
is really sure how it got there.
The system of deploying a SMB on all dives made for
easy diving as the crews were able to pick us up from
anywhere meaning there was no need to find our way
back to the boat. This was especially handy when there
was a bit of current and we could enjoy a drift dive.
The last dive of the trip was at Coral Patches, which in
itself was a nice dive with lots of colorful staghorn and
plate coral, but the highlight was a large school of at
least 50 Dhufish that hang around there regularly. For
those that found them it was the most memorable dive
of the trip and a great way to finish.
The Southern Image crew was great. We were well
looked after and certainly never went hungry. It was a
very well run outfit and they had great knowledge of the
area. Big thanks to the crew; skipper Luke and deckie/
chef Paul! (not Paul Hillary, he was the bus driver).
The great weather continued for the whole trip with calm
seas and little swell. Most of our dives started anywhere
from five to 15 metres, to a depth of about 39 metres
with lots of nice coral in the shallows; plate coral and
staghorn coral being the most common. There were a
few Nudibranchs spotted, some Anemones and some
other Soft Corals, but mostly bigger fish. We saw Baldchin
Groper and Coral Trout on just about every dive as well as
lots of Mackerel, some Yellowtail Kingfish, schools of Bonito,
Skippy and Sweetlips. Rankin Cod were also seen and
there were a few sightings of some Bronzewhaler sharks.
The highlight on day two was a group of at least six smooth
rays (or black spotted rays) that hung around for a while.
They were nearly as big as mantas and quite happy to
stay close to us, swimming amongst us for a while.
On Saturday between dives we went for a snorkel off the
back of the boat and threw over some cray shells and

SPEAR FISHING by Mike Kane
With another postponement of the competition day we
had another month of no divers to weigh in. It has been a
disappointing season for the weather. Through cancelled
days and other commitments I personally haven’t weighed
a fish this season. That being said, those who have got out
have still bagged some nice fish.
It seems others have taken the time to start doing some
boat modifications and there been a few itchy people
from fibreglass.
AUGUST TRAINING RESUMES
Now that the colder months are behind us we are resuming
training in August. It is to a limited number of eight people
for two sessions per week for the month. The sessions will be
1.5 hours and a combination of static and dynamic training.
Coaching will be done by Yoram at Blueshift and those that
commit will definitely see improvements.
SOMETIMES IT’S DIRTY...
On a recent trip north we had large tides making the water
visibility very average (2 - 3 metres). Despite the difficult
conditions there were fish showing on the sounder and it
became a matter of trying to ‘land’ on the fish.
With perseverance and teamwork we managed to spear
some lifetime fish. It proves sometimes you just got to keep
trying. You won’t get anything if you stay at home and
watch the footy!
Stay safe,

MARLIN FISHING EXMOUTH by Steve Cox & Brian Snook
STEVE ‘THE FISHERMAN’ COX AND THE SALTY DOG
CREW TICK ALL THE BOXES.
Well it was on again, the annual 3 day tag and release
Billfish Challenge which precedes EGFC’s GAMEX in
March of this year.
After a successful 2015 tournament winning the 8 & 10 kg
Champion Team Section on the good ship Hindsight, the
Exmouth team members decided to fish the 2016 Billfish on
my slightly larger boat Salty Dog as the Salty Dog team.
The hope was that we might get a triple whammy,
1. Slip under the radar in the boat auction.
2. Reduce their crew by one which would give them
a chance to catch a fish themselves without the rod
grabber Steve Cox being on board.
3. Avoid some of the pitfalls of previous tournaments
which involved Steve i.e.; running out of beer mid
arvo, having to visit hospital at 4am to have a 16/0
hook removed from his guts or him snapping a brand
spanking new custom 37kg rod before the boat wasn’t
even hooked up to the car let alone in the water.
But all the subterfuge was to no avail. Somehow ‘The
Fisherman’ Steve got a whiff on what was going to
happen and was onto it like a seagull on a mulie that
had been left on the bait board. No amount of shooing
could drive him off or stop the squawking, so finally he
was invited. All would need to keep an eye on him,
not let him near anything sharp and put the Mackie
Bat near the drinks esky so that whenever that hand of
his went into the esky without authorisation it copped
a whack, wouldn’t stop him but certainly slowed him
down. Suffice to say the plan worked (to a certain
extent anyway). There was always one beer left for the
trip home but never two.
Day one saw Muzza and Tristan the local boys on strike
first, however when putting the gear out one of the rods
went off. Without hesitation the rod grabber picked it
up, the score grabber 1, crew none. Steve got the first
Bill Fish of the comp so he was saved from a swim.
On the last day of the competition the Salty Dog crew
found themselves several fish behind the leading boat.
Steve’s call was for his trusty red and white hard bodied
Rapala lure be placed into the spread. Within minutes
Tristan nailed a nice little black Marlin on Steve’s lure.
Heading into the last hours Muzza picked up another
one, the deck was buzzing. The Salty Dog crew and
Steve ‘the fisherman’ Cox had the light tackle (8 &10
kg) section wrapped up. We only had to get one more
fish to take out the overall section and beat all those
bigger boats fishing 15, 24, 37 & 60 kg line classes.
18
With only an hour left in the competition it was agreed
by the crew and ‘the champion fisherman Steve’ that
it was now Snooky’s turn to be on strike. I had been on
the wheel most of the time and was the only one who
hadn’t tagged a fish. It would be a small reward if I the
captain could get a fish and it be the winning one.
So still at the helm I turned the boat, checked the GPS
and set the autopilot then stepped away to hand over
the wheel to Muzza. Within mille seconds and only two
steps away from the back deck and the rods there
was an almighty splash and wham we were on, the
drag was screaming, a 40kg black marlin was going
off, white water everywhere, adrenalin pumping and
yep you guessed it, the rod grabber Steve with his
long spider like arms simply reached out and plucked
the rod from the gunnel before me the captain could
reach the back deck and accept the hand over.
After a massive fight of over 45 minutes with the fish
coming to the surface quite a few times only to swim
off and testing all of Steve’s skill as an angler the fish
finally came up to the boat letting Muzza tag the
winning fish. There were high fives all over the boat and
Steve’s smile could be seen for miles as the Captain
I congratulated Steve for his patience and angling
ability in getting the winning fish to the boat.
Well the photos tell the story and the Salty Dog crew
and Steve ‘the fisherman’ Cox had a great night,
picking up Champion Team Light Tackle, Champion
Team Overall and taking home the boat auction purse.
Winners are grinners!
Hope to see you in Exmouth some time where we can
catch up and trade real fishing stories
Cheers

DARTS FROM THE OCHE by Chris McCarthy
WINTER SEASON
The season kicked off on the 12th
April with five teams representing
the club across three divisions. “C
grade is represented by MAAC Red
and MAAC Blue, “B” Grade MAAC
White and MAAC Green (only one
division this season) and “A” Grade
by MAAC Black.
57.36. Paul McFarlane held the
highest peg, although briefly of 102
until Rick Davage followed closely
with a throw of 105.
At this stage we are 11 weeks into
the season and find most teams
positioned nicely leading up to the
second half and the final rounds
MAAC Green – Well the nurturing
team of the MAAC find themselves in
10th position. Although there position
may be bottom they have played
above expectations and managed
their only win against the second
placed team. By season’s end they
will be much better off, and settled
for the following season. Highest
average 57.63 to Neil Rowse.
C Grade
A Grade
MAAC Blue – Find them sitting in 4th
place after re-grouping after their result
in the summer season. Some very good
averages for the team from Pauline
Kalajzich 55.56 and Tony Humphries
43.90 who were well supported in the
pegging by John Gordon (12) and
best peg of 47 Ian Beaton.
MAAC Black – Playing their first
season in “A” grade after moving up
from “B”, they are in 4th. Players report
that they are enjoying the challenge
of playing-up, and their improved
individual averages are showing
the results. Top averages were, Ged
Woodcock 76.08 / 72.61, Bob Glass
74.00 / 68.56, Julian Dinardo 68.22 and
Rob Jones 64.17. Pegging was evenly
balanced throughout the team.
MAAC Red - Sit in 2nd position and
continue to play to the high standard
as they have done for some time
now. Although a very well rounded
team there were highlight averages
of 45.33 / 44.60 to Warren D’Cruz ,
44.00 to Michael McGeehan and
42.19 for Mick Hadley. From all reports
pegging has been a team effort!!
B Grade
MAAC White - Having an indifferent
year losing games they were
expecting to win are 4th on the
ladder and are hoping to turn
things around in the second half.
Top average was Bruce Cross 55.56/
22
are held on Tuesday night in the
Seawall bar or at an associated club

COMPETITIVE FISHING by Peter McHugh
Dawn, and it’s 25 degrees at the Dampier boat ramp:
a perfect start to a day’s fishing.
Fishing in the waters off Karratha is competitive. Competitive
with friends on the boat, maybe, but extremely so with the
magnificent grey predators cruising off the Pilbara coast. When
you are operating in the sharks’ domain, expect a battle.
In late May 2016, Scott, Murray and I fished at the northern end
of the impressive Dampier Archipelago, past the archipelago
islands to our west and the Burrup Peninsula to the east.
After skimming through Mermaid Sound in Murray’s 6.3m
runabout, we were attracted by the extensive surface
thrashing of bait fish driven to get airborne by their marine
predators. Following a few luckless attempts at trolling
across the bait fishes to pick up their predators, we sped
further north to the Madeleine Shoal, to pull in our first catch
of the day.
Drifting across relative shallows in the shoal, from 30 metres
to 18 metres and back out to 30 metres, kept us busy.
What kept us busier was the race between our retrieve
and our competitive marine fishers - the sharks. On several
occasions there were at least six sharks lazily finning around
the Quintrex Bowrider, daring us to pull in a fish – and they
won more than once, leaving us with either nothing or just a
fish head to record the catch.
The variety of fish was extraordinary given we were just
using squid on our hooks and there were many occasions
we had to check our charts to properly identify the catch.
Competition between us and the sharks meant that we were
retrieving as fast as we could, with barotrauma especially
evident in our fish. Undersized fish did not spend long back in
the water before they were casually taken by the sharks, or
plucked out by impressively opportunistic birds.
After a very enjoyable day on the water and despite the
odds, we returned with fish for that evening and some evenings
to come. Once or twice we hooked two at once and
sometimes the pull of sizeable leather jackets convinced us
we had something more impressive on the line.
Weather in Karratha at this time of year is marvellous. If you
intend to go, there is no doubt that the May to September
period is the best for personal comfort as it avoids the
oppressive heat of the wet season - or ‘Summer’ if you prefer.
People speak of the NW coast of WA as having about the
best fishing in Australia and I now believe them.
By comparison, I recently fished on the shores of the
Amazon River in equatorial Brazil with nothing more than a
bamboo pole, a short line, and a small baited hook. The
result may not be big but it sure has a bite. The teeth
of this small ‘white’ piranha are needle sharp and seem
out of proportion to its body. Apparently they have a
powerful jaw, but do not deserve the reputation they
have for shredding people in seconds. It seems there
is very little in the way of properly documented cases
of anyone being taken by a school of piranha. The
schooling occurs to protect themselves from other
predators, including caiman – a South American word
meaning ‘alligator’ (hence the Cayman Islands). All the
same, I wasn’t keen to swim in the Amazon!
PS. A couple of days later, we were in a boat with a
whaleshark alongside – and those are impressive.
