FEBRUARY 2026
This fishing group traditionally starts on the last Friday of the month. Commitments this year have caused a change to the Monday, so it was interesting to see how many could make the change of date. In fact, a large rollup of U3A anglers arrived at Valla Lions Park, all keen to start the year off positively. There was only one problem. Secretary John forgot to tell the fish. They did not get the email. There were no fish.
Like I said, it was about being positive. The breeze was cool off the water. The sun was hidden by clouds, so no direct heat. The morning tea was delicious. The company was entertaining. We hardly used any bait, so more for next month.
Just when we were accepting of a slow day Linda caught a bream causing great excitement for everyone. Linda caught a second bream. And that was that. No more fish. All we could do was enjoy the moment, which we did.
