Beverage Pricing and Loyalty Points Due to increases in our alcohol costs effective this Month, and the Clubs desire not to raise drink prices for our members. The Club has decided to discontinue the 3% loyalty bonus on April 1st. Members will have a generous grace period of 3 months (30 June) to redeem their existing points. Please note: Members will still receive member pricing on alcohol purchases by scanning their membership card. Thank you for your understanding on this matter.
Fishing Report Offshore The Kubota competition was a great event for the town and I’m sure everyone has already seen or heard the results as it has been well publicized. Congratulations to all the winning teams with some great fish caught. The weather since has been great with a nice Broadbill being weighed during the week. Inshore Not many reports coming in this week, other than the usual reports of solid Snapper fishing around the Mercs, and one report of a good mix of Trevally and Snapper caught in the river mouth on an out-going tide. Nice to have a close spot with fuel the price it is. Good Fishing… Thanks to the team of weighmasters who gave up their time to weigh fish for the Kubota Billfish Classic. For their services the club was given $15,000.00 from the tournament director.
