Sandringham Anglers Club

Sandringham Anglers Club = more fun, more fish, no boat required! Other members just like to learn how to catch more fish! Where do you start?

We'd all like to socialise more or catch more fish, so we socialise around fishing activities or sometimes instead of them. We have spectacular views from the balcony and the Sandringham Harbour laps at our fence line - members storing kayaks with us can just take them straight down to the water without needing to use a proper trailer or even a roof rack. Members holding a simple boat license can

access a club boat with fish finder, kayak hire and hall hire of one of the most picturesque and least crowded locations in Bayside. Keen fisher members enjoy several fishing competitions focusing on species or locations, both home and away, and our social calendar is fairly busy with both fishing and non fishing events - pier to pier fishing trips, trivia nights, barbecues and so forth. In between competitions and social activities, we have an active and interesting guest speaker programme - professional fisher guides, depth sounder and fish finder experts, PhDs in fish behaviour to name a few. As a non member, after reading all this you'l be surprised to find out that members enjoy the cheapest beachfront fishing club membership from between the city and Frankston at only $90* a year ...come and join today! *NB new members have a once off joining fee of $50. Family membership is also available, as well as a seniors reduced-fee and a lower rate Country Membership for those who live a bit far away to attend club nights but still want to be involved in competitions and events. Without obligation, come and say g'day on any Tuesday night at our club meeting, the bar opens at 8pm. Alternatively call us on (03) 9598 9664 or send an email to [email protected] and we'll come back to you. Until then, you might like to browse our comprehensive but soon to be updated website at sandringhamanglersclub.com. So c'mon, make a move - like the fish that get away, we don't bite!

Another beaut arvo yakfishing. Three Flatties to mid 30’s, heaps of Pinkies to 37cm. Saw a few schools of Pinkies on the Fishfinder. All on hardbodies, vibes & soft plastics. I also hung out with a Seal for over an hour.

Another beaut day to yakfish. Thanks Steve Magambo for taking me to his special squidding spot. I managed four large squid myself… Steve caught a lot more!

Once the fog burned off it was pleasant on the yak. The fog didnt lift over Port of Melbourne and invisible big ships sounded their foghorns regularly! Plenty of Pinkies to 33cm and Flatties to mid 30’s on hardbodies, blades & soft plastics.

Perfect conditions this morning for our annual kayak capsize drill. Eight (8) took part and a few more watched from the shore.

Lots of new ideas were tested as a result of last year’s drill.

Some learnings that I noted are below - please add any that I miss:

1. Need to remember to make the life jacket waist strap tight once you are in the water… to stop it rising & choking you!
2. Paul Jones loaned a paddle leash to several participants… I heard that this will be added to several yakkers equipment list now.
3. The rope trick to re-flip the kayak worked a treat although one nylon clip attaching the rope to the kayak broke under the strain so that will need to be strengthened.
4. Getting back into the kayak was more difficult than most remembered!
5. Getting back into the kayak from behind the seat worked for some , even as far back as the stern… but most of us would have a crate there that would interfere with this access if we were fishing.
6. The raised H-rail around the cockpit on some kayaks made getting back into the front of the kayak particularly difficult
7. Some kayaks took on a large amount of water into the closed hull which could make the kayaks more “tippy” in rough seas. These kayaks need to try & reduce the ingress while upside down, somehow.

Thanks to all for participating, Jamie for manning the first aid desk & to Garry for the very welcome BBQ’ed snags!

Cracker day on the bay. Beaut yakweather and plenty of fish. Pinkies galore to mid 30cms, many Sand Flatties to mid 30’s, one Bluespot Flattie in the mid 30’s, two small Snook. The highlight of the day was a boiling school of Australian Salmon which I raced to intercept… lost… then found on the sounder and then extracted two fish from… fantastic fight on bream gear! A bunch of Australasian Gannets were divebombing the same bait the Salmon were eating as well as a solitary Fairy Penguin.
