Gibraltar Fishing Club held its competitions at Detached Mole and Eastern Beach

On Sunday March 15, the Gibraltar Fishing Club held their forth competition of the season once again at the Detached Mole.
The event was well attended with 29 members putting up with the strong wind which shifted direction on a few occasions during the course of the day.
Two club records were broken, the first, five red banded sea breams locally known as Hurta Breams were landed with four returned back alive. The second seven sheepshead breams were also caught with Brianna Storey our only female taking part in our junior league, the heaviest of these two fish weights in at 0.865 kilos the biggest for this species so far this year.
Kevin Gonzalez another member that deserves a mention after successfully landing a 1.65 kilo soldier bream, a specie which is caught every season only in very few numbers never so far, than four in any particular season.
The day trophy winners were as follows:
