Club Noble Annual Kids Christmas Party is on
Sunday November 24, 2024 10:00 am

Club Noble’s much anticipated Christmas party is here. Application forms are available from reception and must be returned by 5^th of November 2024.

Club Noble is asking for volunteers. Please contact Neil Kolbe is you can help.

Noble Park Anglers Christmas Party is on Saturday 14^th of December at the shed.

If you have children and want to receive a Christmas present we ask you to list them on the sheet on the Anglers Notice Board at the back bar before cut-off November 30th.

There is planned food and a spit.  You are invited to bring a salad or desert to help feed the hungry masses, which may be helpful. There will be some raffles for some prizes.

To all the members of our club, I am passing on the sad news that a great man in our club, Graeme Palmer, has passed away.  Graeme was a great worker in the club and he will be sadly missed. I feel very sorry for Helen and the rest of her family for their loss.

The Funeral is looking to be on Tuesday the 29th of October 2024 at 2 pm at Mount Martha Tobin Brothers, if any anglers are wanting to know.

On 19/20 October, 15 club members attended the surf competition at Loch Sport, despite the challenging conditions. Winds were 25 knots with a strong side drift and seaweed. Some anglers returned home early, while others enjoyed the fun at Seacombe, where they caught bream and battled eels tangled in branches.

Even the seal had enough and was sunbathing on the sand.

Other anglers watched the Everest and Caulfield Cups, while on Saturday night we enjoyed a BBQ and chatted around the fire pit.

Two anglers unsuccessfully attempted fishing on Sunday, returning empty-handed after an hour.  By 9:30 am, we had packed our bags and were ready to leave.

Even though we didn’t catch a fish, the weekend was enjoyable.

See you at the next competition at Westernport!

The Eildon freshwater competition was successful, with twelve adults, two Juniors, and one visitor catching 7 Rainbow trouts, totalling 22.9 kg.

The weather was challenging, with cold mornings, cloudy skies, light rain, and strong wind.  There was a brief period of blue skies, then wind and light rain again.  Sunday morning was cold but without rain.

Bow, Neil Kolbe’s wife, caught a 6 kg Rainbow Trout at Pondage, breaking the Club record of 4.6 kg set by Tristan Billing.  Members gathered for weigh-ins on Saturday and Sunday, enjoying a BBQ and all had a great time.

The Eildon competition was held in memory of Darryl Freeman, and John Bertuna scattered his ashes in the Lake.

The surf competition started on a sunny, 25 degrees, Saturday 24^th August .  Unfortunately, there was no surf and the salmon was not present. Twelve adult members fished on that day, catching 14 fish (4 Salmons, 2 Trevallies and 8 Mullets).

Sunday was a cooler day, however there was still no surf.  Six adult members caught one mullet and one salmon.  Nevertheless, we all had a good time for the weekend.

Results will be announced at the next Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 3^rd September.  We hope to see everyone there.

Around 40 Anglers members and family attended the 2024 presentation night.

Live music was the courtesy of Club Noble, making the night even more special for the Anglers Club.

The atmosphere was friendly and it was great to see a couple of irregular members in attendance.

Awards were given away, together with gift vouchers, to acknowledge members’ fishing effort for the 2023 – 2024 season.

There were also a variety of raffle prizes such as fishing rods, an Eski, Bunnings and BCF vouchers, bags of lemons, etc.

Stella Kolbe was presented with her 4.7 kg mounted Brown Trout that she caught at the Pondage in April 2023.  This is a Senior and Junior record.
