The event was well-attended, with nine boats and 13 anglers taking part.

Unfortunately the weather wasn't ideal for fishing, with a misty rain hanging about for most of the day.

Only 14 fish were brought to the weigh-in table, with Martyn Barry catching the largest bream, Garry Smith the largest flathead, and Andrew Hines the largest flounder.

Held every three months and in its inaugural year, the event was introduced so more of the club's female members could take part, as a lot of them prefer not to fish in the ocean.

The club's next lake outing will be in September and with warmer weather, they're hoping more members will come along and enjoy the day.
