"Well done guys, some more fish and chips coming up," club spokesman Les Waldock said.
Meanwhile, further south, the ever popular Tri Estuary Challenge was held last weekend.
The annual fishing contest held in Merimbula, Pambula and Bega River was hosted by the Merimbula Big Game and Lakes Angling Club.
Organisers said all anglers enjoyed good conditions and the catch rates were really excellent.
The challenge was run as a catch and release event, so the effect on our local fish population was minimal.
The exciting last minute announcement of Kane McKill's $400 cash for the longest mulloway (jewfish) really stepped up the competition, but alas none were taken.
The all important first prize for the longest bream was taken out by David Hay with a magnificent 428mm fish from the Merimbula Lake.
Val Harvey fished Merimbula Lake on Saturday then went to Pambula on the Sunday to achieve first place for dusky flathead at 870mm.
Fishing solely from the club's Spencer Park jetty brought Jake Young the prize for the longest trevally at 443mm.
Trolling in the Merimbula Top Lake brought Urs Buhlman the win for tailor with a massive 549mm catch.
For other the "other species" longest fish category, congratulations to Martin Bartlett picking up a 572mm Australian salmon trolling near the Merimbula Bridge.
MBGLAC also celebrated the district's junior anglers with six-year-old Elise Walker of Greigs Flat taking first prize with a lovely 369mm bream - "clearly one of our new wave of angling experts".
Sophie Grech caught a very credible 602mm dusky flathead. Congratulations also to Tiffany Bragg for her 369mm trevally. Seven-year-old Logan Walker cleaned up in two categories, firstly a 445mm tailor and then a very large 534mm Australian salmon. Extra special congratulations to Logan.
Caution is urged at the Merimbula entrance as it is changing rapidly. At present Marine Rescue Merimbula cannot respond outside of three hours either side of the high tide. Marine Rescue NSW also urged patience on the waters as it expects a busy season now the border has opened.
