On Deck – May/June 2013 1

Well, as I sit here writing my comments and looking back over the last couple of months, I realise how hectic it has been with the end of our financial year and the interviewing and induction of 35 new members. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all the new members and I am sure that they will be made welcome at our fantastic Club. As I stressed to the new members at their induction night - make the personal effort to get involved and you will be rewarded with many fun times in this great boating Club. As we move into the colder part of the year there are still plenty of activities in which all participate.

Even though it may be colder, we do have some of the best boating weather so don’t just put the boat away. Get involved - and for those who don’t have a boat, please remember that you are always welcome to join any of the Club’s boating or fishing events. Just book in for the event and make a note on your booking that you don’t have a boat, and I’m sure you will be accommodated by a fellow member as there is always a skipper looking for someone to go with them.

Also coming up in the next few months is the Ladies Cocktail Party. The Commodore’s partner invites all female members and members’ partners to this fabulous party to be held on Saturday 3rd August 2013 at 6.00pm on the 1st Floor of the Clubhouse. I ask all male members to advise their lady about this fabulous event, and encourage them to book early for this fun night which is a great occasion for them to meet other ladies from around the Club. Remember - the downstairs bar is open for “male chauffeurs” during the cocktail party and from 8.00pm onwards the bar on the 1st Floor will be open to all.

The new Club calendar has now been completed and will soon be sent to all members as well as being posted on the Club website as a secondary reference. We will again be

placing a copy of this calendar in Google calendar format on the Club website so those who wish to can upload the calendar to their phones, tablets and computers.

My term of three years as Commodore will be completed at the AGM. It has been an enjoyable journey for Sue and I, and a great honour to have served as Commodore of the Squadron. I would like to thank all members for their support over this time.

During my term I have been fortunate in having knowledgeable and hard working colleagues as Board members, all of whom have taken their duties very seriously and made my job much easier. I sincerely thank them and Immediate Past Commodore Peter Barnes for their assistance and efforts. I would also like to extend my best wishes to the new Commodore and Board that were elected at the AGM for the 2013-14 season.

Finally, I would very much like to acknowledge the contribution and assistance of Club Manager Paul Morgan and Assistant Manager Marina Pratten, together with their dedicated staff, for their willing co-operation and assistance over my time as Commodore.

Safe boating,

John Firth

4 On Deck – May/June 2013

Birthplace: Sale, Gippsland

I spent my childhood growing up: Lived on a farm at Dutson

(outside Sale) until I was 17 (led a

very sheltered life).

I had a pet: A horse I rode 10km

to school each morning, named

Thunderbolt. My mum couldn’t

believe the other pet names I

called it when it bucked me off!

The schools I attended were: Longford State, Sale High,

Hampton High, RMIT.

At school I was always getting into trouble for: You

won’t believe it – talking in class!

My fondest childhood memory is: Can’t say, just in

case she ever reads this.

The sport I loved to play: Footy

– once I got paid to play – now I

would have to pay to play…. Any

offers?

My greatest sporting achievement: Playing 230 odd

games with the Hampton Rovers

– the best time of my life.

The AFL team I support: North Melbourne – played a few

games in the reserves back in the

60’s with Alan Killegrew. You’re

right, they needed all the support

they could get!

Career wise I.... Work in a

partnership with fellow club

member Merv Clemens,

designing and installing

warehouse storage and retrieval

systems.

Favourite holiday place: On my

houseboat at Eildon, surrounded

by water and in a cove with no

phone reception.

Whilst on holidays I like to read: John Grisham novels – easy

mystery read, plus a few fishing

mags, of course.

I enjoy a nice glass of: Not a

hard question really – heavy red

wines are my go plus I enjoy a

brandy and dry.

My favourite meal is: Sausages

in onion gravy with mashed

potatoes and pumpkin and

tinned peas (they must be Edgel

though).

My first car was: A 1949

Triumph Renown – an old two

seater with a dickie seat in the

back, aluminium body, 2 tonne

frame with an underpowered

Vanguard motor. Brakes – what

brakes? bent push rods – oh!

what memories.

Most admired female: My

mum of course – no contest.

Most admired male: Rob Ungar

– the only person I know who

drives his boat to Queensland

when he wants to go game

fishing; then drives it to Tasmania

if he wants to go trout fishing.

Well done Rob!

My most embarrassing moment: Playing footy, grabbed

the ball, turned out of the pack

and kicked it straight between

the big sticks – forgot I played on

the back line, wrong sticks.

Favourite book: None specific

but good mystery novels.

What I really love about BMYS is: The atmosphere and

camaraderie generated at the

club functions, especially when

they are well patronized.

If I could change one thing about myself it would be: To

stretch my legs 50mm so that

pants off the rack will fit without

adjustment (is that one thing or

two?).

The five people I would ask to dinner: Angelina Jolie: Well why not!

Elle McPherson: The girl next door!

Richard Branson: For his crazy

money making ideas!

On Deck – May/June 2013 5

David Attenborough: As

a naturalist he has been

everywhere

Nigella Lawson: Because she is a

great cook

Favourite record/cd/45: North

to Alaska – Johnny Haughton

and most 60’s music – great

memories!

Biggest fish I have ever caught: A striped marlin at

Bermagui approx 120kg, but it

gets heavier after a few drinks.

My secret fishing spot: Still a

secret!

What really annoys me about the world: Is that I don’t think

there will ever be world peace as

some countries are hell bent on

war and anti -capitalism.

The one talent I wish I had: To be able to play a musical

instrument. I am told I am tone

deaf and shouldn’t even sing at

funerals.

My greatest weakness is: Good food (and vanilla slices).

My 15 minutes of fame was when: I won the New Zealand

game fishing comp with my big

hapuka (I thought I had told

everyone about that).

Once I sit down at night time my favourite TV programme

is: Customs – I am amazed

what people try to bring into the

country and more amazed at the

ridiculously small fines, if any, for

those who get caught.

Whilst sitting on my boat I often contemplate why: I don’t

spend more time sitting on my

boat.

For as long as I live I never again want to: Run out of red

wine.

My future vision for BMYS is: to provide facilities and events

that encourage all members to

have a desire to be involved on

a regular basis.

Boating Report - Keith Owen

This will be my last report as Boating Director as I have decided to retire as a Board member. Some of you may be aware that Davina and I have recently taken delivery of our new caravan and we intend to spend many months on the road exploring this great country. My time as Boating Director has been a full and rewarding experience and it has given me a much greater appreciation of our Club and of the amazing people who devote so much time to ensuring that it runs smoothly.

When I look back on my time as Director there are many people I wish to thank for making my role as rewarding as it has been. Firstly to my wonderful wife Davina- her calm, considered and rational

approach to situations has been invaluable in helping me with the demands of the role. Of course those who know me and Davina also know she is the ‘editor’ behind all my articles, flyers and reports. Secondly, to John Firth who has guided me and assisted when and where possible - John’s depth of knowledge of the Club and boating matters is exceptional. He is a tireless worker always willing to take on roles such as managing IT issues, fixing minor faults through to strategic planning, and has been a valuable committee member. I also recognise the other Board members and thank them for their guidance and support – especially Brian Willis who has stood in for me in my regular absences, guiding and supporting the Boating Committee in a competent and professional manner. Finally, to Paul Morgan and his team who keep the Club running and have such a good understanding of the members and their requirements.

Now back to boating matters. Since my last report we have conducted a very successful Paynesville Long Weekend last March. This year we were joined by several new members and their families. It was great to see them enjoying such a wonderful place. Please keep an eye out for an article about the trip in this On Deck by Sara Kent - accompanied by some

great photographs. Directors regularly express concern about low levels of interest in some Cub events and it was great to get some feedback from the first time attendees at Paynesville - about running events and how they can be structured to better meet the needs of families. This feedback has been fed back to the Boating Committee and will be included in their planning for future events.

As mentioned in my last report, the Boating Committee has been refreshed by some new blood. This group worked hard in planning and preparing for the Family Fun Day that was run on Sunday 28 April. I was amazed by their teamwork and dedication, and the successful running of this great family event that resulted from their fine efforts. Of course, the crew in charge of NavRallies has been working away ensuring that these valuable events continue to be offered to members and guests. I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the Boating Committee members, current and past, for their dedication and commitment to our Club.

So for now good bye and I encourage you to get involved in boating activities when and where possible; they open up a whole new side to being a Club member.

Safe boating.

On Deck – May/June 2013 7

Contributed by the Kent family – David and Sara, and children Ed and Lucie

As members of the BMYS for five years, we set out for our first weekend cruising club event and whilst we didn’t really know what to expect we thought it was time to give it a go!

We arrived at Mariners Cove at 7pm Friday and were immediately impressed by the facilities on offer, in particular the mooring arrangements, the boat immediately accessible only metres from our balcony door. Upon arrival we were greeted with “do you need a hand” and welcomed into the fold. In no time at all we were settled in, the boat was launched, moored, and we were off to the local to meet the others for a few refreshments and the obligatory counter-meal.

Next morning, after bacon and eggs on the BBQ, the official itinerary commenced with a cruise in convoy from Paynesville to the Metung Hotel, with our kids Ed and Lucie insisting on being towed the entire journey on the

‘crash mat’. Our fellow boaties knew the drill: dock at the Hotel jetty and get in early to reserve prime seating on the outdoor balcony to enjoy one of the most panoramic views across the Lakes system. One member was so enthusiastic to join the group on the balcony he didn’t have time to turn off the engine (he later claimed to be charging the batteries!).

After a leisurely stroll through the local craft and produce market we settled in on the balcony for a tasty lunch and refreshments (non alcoholic of course). After consuming a monstrous Guinness pie and three raspberry lemonades, Ed decided against the ‘crash mat’ for the next leg of the journey for obvious reasons.

After lunch the cruise continued down to Lakes Entrance and returned via Rigby Channel, which runs between Barrier Landing and Rigby and Fraser islands. Navigation is tricky in this precinct as there is shallow water to catch out the unaware. Following the more experienced boaties through these waters was an excellent way of familiarising a skipper to the region.

Back into the open waters of Lake King, the pace increased as the fleet motored back to Paynesville. It was at this point we understood the cruising hierarchy. The Commodore leads the fleet with the largest and fastest boat. When the lead boat is sufficiently ahead of the fleet the skipper conducts some reconnaissance circles to ensure the fleet is intact. The Commodore’s boat produces a wake that would put many a wakeboard boat to shame, any attempt to pass the lead vessel would be confronted by a huge wake akin to that provided by a Port Phillip Bay 35 knot sou wester!

The fleet arrived back at Paynesville mid-afternoon for a quiet afternoon in the sun but our family decided to continue to explore the Lakes system further. We cruised into Bunga Arm, parked at one of the magic little beaches (Albatross camp site) and took a short stroll over to the Ninety Mile Beach for a refreshing splash in the surf.

A pleasant Saturday night was spent at Mariners Cove with a few drinks, a casual BBQ dinner, and a few more drinks. By now us

8 On Deck – May/June 2013

Paynesville Labour Day Weekend‘newbies’ felt we’d got most of the names committed to memory and enjoyed friendly banter with the crew.

We awoke Sunday to a beautiful day. Another cruise beckoned, this time with packed lunches to Bunga Arm for the day. We had the honour of being designated the lead boat to negotiate the meandering Aurora Channel into Bunga Arm and guide the fleet to a safe anchoring venue; which could have ended in tears but fortunately didn’t. When the Boating Director requested we communicate to the fleet via marine radio, I then realised my decision to opt for a horsepower upgrade instead of a marine radio was perhaps a bit misguided.

Anyway, we had a pleasant day endeavouring to exhaust the kids with some wake boarding, a splash around in the surf and an attempt to catch a salmon off the Ninety Mile Beach. We only had to bring home one fish to eclipse the bounty from the two early morning offshore forays by the Fishing Director: however, sadly the result ended up zip all.

The fleet then set out to explore waterways such as Newlands Arm and Duck Arm before heading back to Mariners Cove for a Sunday evening BBQ and more refreshments.

All in all, we had a really enjoyable weekend with the family and new friends. We found the other members very

welcoming and helpful, whether it be tossing us a rope and helping dock the boat or simply sharing ‘boaties’ stories.

This is what the Club is all about- family and friends enjoying the opportunities that being on the water gives us, PLUS we get to share some drinks, food and a few laughs.

So as the new kids on the block we would encourage everyone to have a go at some of the events on offer. There are many people working really hard behind the scenes to make these events happen; and if you don’t have a go - you’ll never know what you’re missing!

Family Fun Day on the BaySunday 28 April 2013Contributed by the BMYS Boating CommitteeDespite rough and windy conditions the Family Fun Day received the unanimous feedback of an EXCELLENT FAMILY EVENT by attendees. With bacon and egg rolls washed down by espresso coffee to start, the participants braved the rough seas for a quick (in some cases, rapid) fish, before heading back to the Clubhouse for other activities.

The Parkdale Yacht Club kindly provided two “Pacer” yachts to take the kids out for a sail, whilst Noel McNicol in the safety boat also watched over the kayakers who were determined to make it through the swell. Meanwhile, Tony took the children and brave adults out on his “couch” for a cruise around the bay and had the pleasure of seeing the joy on the faces of those relaxing in his bumpy and surprisingly dry couch…

Then it was quiet time while parents wracked their brains for the answers to the General

Knowledge Quiz and the children drew their best boating picture. A quick children’s fishing competition – who can flick the lure into the bucket with everyone winning a prize (all missed the bucket, but a few caught Ben and Roger). This finished the day nicely before a delicious BBQ and salad lunch and the prize giving.

A great day had by all and a big thank you to all who participated in less than ideal conditions and to the Boating Committee members for all their hard work and enthusiastic participation!

- with Ian Jones

As the days grow shorter in autumn pinkie snapper, squid and salmon appear to be the major catches by members. The recent weeks of excellent whiting fishing have passed with anglers struggling to get a fish or two. Small trevally have proved quite a nuisance as whiting burley attracted numbers of these fish almost under boats.And how about those seals - have they ever been worse? Sometimes two or three would be fighting each other for hooked pinkies. Apparently, south-west Victorian tuna anglers are experiencing similar problems. Various illegal and legal solutions have been put forward but none can be put in print. Meanwhile, we can use such expressions as “oh, dear me!”, “please go away!”, “would you mind leaving my fish alone?”, or “what a pesky nuisance you are”, etc. Seriously, seals have become increasingly dependent on hooked fish for a feed. As suggested before there is a ready market for an instrument that produces a harmless underwater sound that seals find intolerable.

As the autumn turns into early winter, afternoon and evening fishing becomes more successful than the mornings. Pinkies will continue to bite well on bait and plastics but, as usual, the bay will probably throw up a few surprises. Barracouta,

warehou and spotted trevalla are overdue for a winter return to Port Phillip Bay.

Strange Catches:Paul (the painter) Karamitos landed a rare mosaic leatherjacket while John Heron caught a Moreton Bay bug. Andrew Georgiou tells of getting one or two bugs over his many, many years of angling, but unlike Westernport they are certainly unusual catches in Port Phillip.

Dolphin fish (Mahi Mahi) are being caught regularly now in south-west Victoria, while King George Whiting and kingfish once almost unknown in Tasmania are now appearing in almost marketable quantities. Warm currents or climate change? Who knows?

Members in the News:Congratulations to Club Manager Paul Morgan on his fiftieth birthday. He is celebrating with a trip to Portugal for a family wedding (not his!) later in the year.

Mick Keatinge, fresh from starring in a Bunning’s commercial, has had some great flathead fishing off Brighton.

Is there a better known team than cousins Fred and Joe Scicluna? They fish together several times a week with success.

Congratulations to Tim Hipkin who has filled the position of Fishing Director. He will have the full support of the Fishing Committee which includes new members Craig Cox and Cameron McNaughton.

Fishing Ideas:Braided lines are quite expensive. The first 50 to 70 metres are subject to wear; but instead of replacing it why not reverse the line using two centre-pin reels or old reels?

Crabs make excellent bait but

they are hard to keep alive in

a bucket. Try saturating hessian

bags with salt water and

wrapping the crabs in them. Also,

this works well with live prawns

and sandworms if kept cool.

Cryovac machines are relatively inexpensive and they certainly make storing and keeping fish a lot easier. Good too for bait like garfish, slimies and yackas.

Use short strong elastic bands

to join the treble hooks for neat

storage of hard- bodied lures in

tackle boxes.

New Products:Now on sale is a powerful LED rechargeable spotlight; ideal for camping or finding your way out to sea pre-dawn at Warneet or Hastings.

Storing landing nets in small

boats can be awkward.

There is now a brilliant new

product in which the net

folds into the handle. Ask

for a demonstration at your

favourite tackle shop.

Most tackle shops have a huge range of ready - made rigs for snapper, whiting, strip baits and surf, to name a few. Again, have

a look at the range in tackle shops.

Fishing Spot - Steavenson River, Marysville:This small river contains surprising numbers of small rainbow and brown trout. Below the falls the river is easily accessible for passive fishing at a pool or actively wading the shallows and runs. Drifted worms, crickets, small plastics and tiny bladed Vibrax lures will almost certainly produce fish in all but flood conditions. It is surprisingly lightly fished for its proximity to a major highway and tourist centre.

Coming Events:End of Season Fishing Competition and BBQ on Sunday 26 May to celebrate possibly the best snapper season ever. This will be a Sunday only competition; there is no competition on the Saturday. There will be the usual $70, $50 and $30 vouchers as well as vouchers for lure-caught fish, ladies

and juniors. A simple BBQ will be held at 12.00 noon with voucher presentations to follow. This will be Tim Hipkin’s first and Brian McNaughton’s last competition as Fishing Director. Let’s have a good attendance of members and families.

BMYS Record Holders:Over the long history of BMYS, many members as well as their wives, partners, and family members, have featured in game fishing records throughout Australia. Members will remember Bill Jenkins from Boatarama and Frankston Billfisher Tackle. Bill and his wife Rhonda still hold several Victorian records for albacore and kingfish. Dom Di Pietro and Brian Higginbotham also feature on the kingfish record list. The late John Wright holds an Australian albacore record whilst Dave Thompson’s partner Sharon Male holds shark and tuna records that will take some breaking. Each state Game Fishing Association has a website for records as

does the GFAA. By browsing the websites members may pick up other familiar names that were missed by your correspondent.

As a footnote, an interesting trend in modern game fishing is to move away from the “kill it and weigh it” concept. Now, weight for length tables exist for various game fish. “Brag” mats, measuring tapes and cameras can also be used to record data and the fish can be tagged and released. This trend will continue to be modified and improved over the years to come.

Game Fishing Tags:Ian Jones has a reasonable stock of tags for marlin, small game fish and shark available to GFAV affiliated members fishing south-west Victoria and off the east coast. All used cards and tag numbers must be returned to Ian in the first instance, not to NSW Fisheries. Call Ian Jones on 9589 1249 for a supply

Depending on the type of vessel and equipment on board,fi re protection equipment may include one or more ofthe following:

> portable fi re extinguishers.

> fi re blankets.

> bucket with lanyard.

> fi xed fi re extinguishing systems.

Portable fi re extinguishersPortable fi re extinguishers are required on all powered recreational vessels equipped with an electric start motor,gas installation, fuel stove or where any fuel is carried.They must be of a dry chemical type that complies withthe relevant Australian Standards.

The following table describes the number of fi re extinguishers that are required on a given vessel.

Vessel size Number required

Less than 8 m One

8 m to 12 m Two

Greater than 12 m Three

The table below describes the minimum required size of one of the fi re extinguishers on a given vessel.

Capacity of fl ammable or combustible liquids that are able to be carried on vessel

Minimum capacity of one of the required fi re extinguishers

Less than 115 litres 0.9 kg

115 to 350 litres 2.0 kg

351 to 695 litres 4.5 kg

More than 695 litres 9.0 kg

Fire blanketsA fi re blanket must also be carried on vessels where cooking facilities are located in an enclosed space, for example the galley on a yacht.

Bucket with lanyardA bucket with lanyard must be carried on all powered recreational vessels. A bucket with lanyard allows water to be used to extinguish fi res derived from wood, paper and plastics.

Fixed fi re extinguishing systemsInstead of using a portable fi re extinguisher, the master may fi t their vessel with an approved fi xed fi re extinguishing system to the enclosed engine compartment, as long as it is of the equivalent size.

If the vessel must have multiple extinguishers, the fi xed fi re extinguishing system must be equivalent to the nominated portable fi re extinguisher size and the additional portable fi re extinguishers can be any size.

Examples

4.2 metre vessel

Michelle’s 4.2 m aluminium boat with a 25 HP engine has a fuel carrying capacity of 40 litres. The minimum fi re fi ghting requirements are:

> One 0.9 kg dry chemical portable fi re extinguisher (vessel less than 8 metres, with less than 115 litre fuel capacity).

> One bucket with lanyard.

FIRE PROTECTIONJuly 2012

MARITIME SAFETY

Recreational vessels are required to carry fi re protection equipment in accordance with the Marine Safety Regulations 2012 (Vic).

On Deck – May/June 2013 15

Examples (continued)

10 metre vessel

John’s 10 m Sports Cruiser can carry 1000 litres of fuel (including cooking gas) and has a galley below deck. The minimum fi re fi ghting requirements are:

With fi xed fi re extinguishing system

> Fixed fi re extinguishing system of at least 9.0kg capacity.

> One dry chemical portable fi re extinguisher of any size.

> One fi re blanket.

> One bucket with lanyard.

Without fi xed fi re extinguishing system

> Two dry chemical portable fi re extinguishers, one of which must be a 9.0kg dry chemical portable fi re extinguisher.

> One fi re blanket.

> One bucket with lanyard.

Fire extinguisher maintenancePortable fi re extinguishers are required to be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifi cations. While some maintenance inspections must be carried out by a qualifi ed professional there are many checks that should be conducted regularly. This will ensure that extinguishers are in good working order at all times.

Below is a list of items to be checked regularly onfi re extinguishers:

> determine that the extinguisher is the correct size andtype for the vessel.

> invert the extinguisher and ensure that the powder remains free fl owing by shaking it during regular checks.

> check the contents by viewing the gauge. Does the needle indicate recharge is required?

> is the safety pin in place to prevent accidental discharge?

> is the bottle showing any signs of peeling paint, rust or external damage?

> if fi tted, does the service tag indicate more than 12 months since the last inspection?

If the extinguisher has not been inspected for more than 12 months it should be taken to an approved service agent. Check with your supplier for more details.

BMYS vs Brighton CAC Sunday 14th April This annual fishing competition was held in perfect conditions with a good roll up of members from both Clubs. The variety of fish caught was quite amazing with catches of snapper, flathead, leatherjacket, trevally, pike, snook, whiting, salmon and yackas, with the highlight being a hammer head shark caught by Jason Clark. Congratulations to Eddie Zahra (representing Brighton) for the heaviest bag and John Giuliano who compiled the heaviest bag for Beaumaris. Well done to Con Hountis for catching the largest snapper and to our popular junior fisherlady in Jacinta Jo who picked up the heaviest junior fish.

I would like to thank Lee Rayner of Fishing Fever for donating our prizes for this event. Originally the prizes were to be used for the Port Albert event, but due to that event being cancelled Lee suggested we use his prizes for this major competition. Hope to see you there next year Lee.

It was Brighton’s turn to put on lunch and Bruce Hail, President of Brighton and his team, did us proud with a great steak and salad lunch.

Thanks to the BMYS Fishing Committee, especially Ian Jones and Wally Myrwoda, for manning the gates in the dark hours of Sunday morning from 5:00am.

Tim Hipkin presented the Jamie Hipkin Memorial Trophy to the winner Eddie Zahra for the Brighton team. This perpetual trophy is in memory of Jamie who was a member of both Clubs and is held in the winning Club for the following 12 months.

Thanks to Brighton Central Angling Club and to all our members for making this such an enjoyable event.

Looking forward to next years challenge!

Bermagui Game Fishing TripContributed by Fishing Director Brian McNaughtonSeveral months ago we had a meeting to decide the venue for our annual game fishing trip - a who, when and where night. Bermagui was the popular venue and a date was set for the start of April.

Great reports of countless marlin being caught kept coming through early in the year with many catches down south of Eden. Sure by the time we get there the fish will be back up at Bermie was the popular belief. Eight boats headed off on the 750 odd kilometer trip full of expectations of boating multiple marlin per day, such were the reports.

Staying at the Anchorage Apartments run by Sue and Ross we felt spoilt with the large carparks, adequate accommodation and great BBQ and eating areas outside.

The weather was warm and windless all week, ideal for charging up to the island or ripping out to the six, or twelve mile reef or going further to the drop off.

All the above we did, trolling lures, trolling livies, ballooning,

cubing and berlying were tried but to no avail.

Slimies and yackas were not easy to get and only a handful of stripie tuna were caught. To add insult to injury reports kept coming in about the fantastic tuna and albacore catches at Portland. Sorry guys – but wrong place at wrong time. Please don’t blame the Fishing Director, you did all vote for Bermie!

There is always a good side to every story and although the fishing was not great the company and camaraderie between members made the trip a success. With BBQ’s at night at the units and a couple of meals out at the Country Club and the local pub it was great getting to know members with like interests a little better.

The Beaumaris guru of marlin fishing, Tyrone O’Connor, had been at Bermie for several weeks prior to our arrival and had caught and released many marlin. The week we arrived Tyrone had no luck either so perhaps it was not our lack of skill that saw no marlin flags flying that week. Thanks Tyrone for your input into info on gear, hooks, switch baiting, etc., next year we just want to know where the fish are?

Competing Teams Were:(1) Brian McNaughton Robert McNaughton Dennis Mahaven

(2) Frank Skrobarr Frank Djundjek Bazzo Vidas

(3) Wayne Bernhard Winston Nol

(4) Russell Darbyshire Michael Busuttil Peter O’Leary

(5) David Bell Mark Bell

(6) Nick Williams John Williams

(7) Les Sabo Russell Meyland Daniel Meyland

(8) Tyrone O’Connor Chris Kratsiotis

Unpacking all the 30 to 50 game rods and reels, outriggers, flying gaffs, etc., came under heavy scrutiny by some of the partners on our return, when only a handful of flathead fillets were produced as a result of a weeks solid game fishing!

Portland is in focus for a trip soon so interested parties should contact the writer if they are interested.

Hi everybody,Since my last report, we have had 35 new members join the Club in our 2013 intake.

I welcome all you new members, and look forward to meeting you personally at some stage around the Club. The Social Committee is always looking for extra committee members with fresh ideas, so please contact me if you are interested.

The Super Draw starting amount will be $500; a great reason why you should make Friday nights a Club night. Winter is a great time

to enjoy the Clubroom’s cosy fire whilst watching the footy on the large screen TV in the downstairs bar and at the same time enjoying a tasty bar meal.

SUNDAY 12 MAYMother’s Day luncheon was again a huge success this year. The day was enjoyed by everyone. This is always a special day for BMYS as it celebrates our fabulous mothers. A special thanks to Rohan Cook for organising the luncheon this year, and let’s not forget our loyal sponsors who happily and generously support our Mother’s Day raffle.

SOCIAL EVENTS TO PLAN FOR 15 June – Saturday night with Tribute Band “The Melbeats” (see advertisement in this edition of On Deck.) A great opportunity to dress in 60’s gear and turn back the clock whilst enjoying the music made famous by this fabulous four. Bonus – this also happens to be a J R Kerr event!

5 October - Saturday night. We have been fortunate enough to secure Mark Andrews with his “Legends” show. More details in the July-August edition of On Deck.

Cheers.

Armed with all manner of tools and a huge range of capabilities and trade skills, we were able to carry out a wide range of projects and jobs without having to resort to hiring expensive external labour. Equipment at our disposal included a bobcat (Dean Atkinson), a scissor-lift (Ken Mathews) and a whole host of equipment including trailers, ladders, chain saws, blowers and brush cutters. A small army of members wielding paint brushes and garden tools completed the effort.

Our Social Committee provided valuable assistance on the day by preparing our morning tea and lunch – thanks guys and gals. This

sort of support is what makes our Club a really special place for members and their families.

By the time you read this, we will have commenced if not completed the refurbishment of our upstairs male and female toilets. This work will enhance these facilities for both members and guests.

We are continuing to work with Bayside City Council through their gardens contractor (Citywide) to improve, rehabilitate and replant garden areas within and adjoining our boundaries. Thanks Citywide.

Thank you to all those members and friends who have supported our maintenance efforts throughout the year.

Big Turn out to our April Working BeeWhat a great turn out to our last Working Bee on 21st April. 17% of our total membership made this one of our most successful ever working bees. 114 members and 15 extras (family and friends) completed a huge list of maintenance jobs around the Squadron. Of the 114 members, 20 were new members inducted into the club over the previous two weeks. Thanks to everyone who supported the Club on this important day.
