first bbq weekend of the year

this is what its all about,forget points,forget trophies or who caught the biggest or most fish,seeing a farther taking the time to teach his boy the importance of pike handling and welfare at such a young age can only ensure the future of the sport is bright,well done ewen and young innes.a few fish each too,cant be bad.

A big well done to sean anderson,who just joined the club and new to pike fishing,got his first ever pike on his third outing with us and at 10lb8oz is not a bad start.i think the big smile says it all!

Many thanks to all the members that came along to first bbq/overniter of this year,a good time was had by all,the weather was a bit dreek saturday and rained all saturday night but the sun did come out sunday afternoon to dry of the kit nicely before heading home.

a big thanks to robbie(master chef)milne for taking full command of the bbq and bringing along the venision burgers and sasauges(even if they were a bit deer)and making the best tattie salad in the highlands.

also big thanks to andy(the butcher)grant for again bringing along a fine selection of steaks and other meats,sean(the baker)anderson for getting us a great deal on all the rolls.

a warm welcome to david (scobes)scobie after a recent transfer to a nearby airbase has joined our region,was great to finaly meet you and your good lady mate.hope you enjoyed your first outing with us?

a special thanks also to Graham Slater for coming north and spending a few days fishing with us,again we hope you enjoyed your trip to the hills.

SUPER SHANE SCORES DOUBLE TWENTY

Well what can we say about the day young Shane Lyon has had!stuff dreams are made from.On his first club outing of 2010 Shane was fishing with dad Ewen and granddad Rab,losing a nice low double early on Shane was more than keen to get his bait back out in the same spot in the hope of landing his first ever pike,after a short while another run and this time he managed to land her and a new p.b as its his first pike at a mighty 24.14lbs(pictured above).a massive well done young man but shane was'nt done yet a few hours later just to top the day off he managed to winkle another cracker at 22.11lbs.

Dad Ewen keeping a firm grip on this one as she was a bit lively and Shane wants to keep his fingers a while yet!

What a fantastic catch Shane,on behalf of the club we wish you a massive congrats again and a big happy birthday(11)for monday,be hard to beat them pressies.
