Fishing Clubs

[PinHead]

Does anyone remember all the fishing clubs in Brisbane of the past...where are they all now and where are the former members? The Pin used to be chockers of small dinghies during the bream season with members from these clubs.

Can't remember their names but most have gone the way of a lot of sporting clubs, under by the power of the mighty dollar. With the cost of everything going up such as insurance, public and private, cost of going fishing, enough people available to fill the executive positions and locations to call home, both to hold meetings and to have a club building....fond memories....

its a pity..

It's probably good for fish stocks that some of these clubs have disappeared. The mentality that the more weight you weigh in during the comps the better belongs in the dinosaur age. Pity there are still of these clubs around that sell their fish as well. Oh, and how about the ones that catch dart to make up their weight only to bury them as they haven't been kept properly ie. iced down promptly.
Yes, unfortunately it does still happen.
