Ten-year-old Hudson Dransfield has won the Largest Snapper of the Year Award at the Point Wells Boating Club to claim the coveted Club Shield.
Hudson has had a passion for fishing since moving to the area with his family four years ago and has been mentored by Bill East, who won the shield in 2020.
The club held its annual open family fishing competition in near-perfect conditions on Sunday, January 8.
Just under 100 competed for sponsored prizes and vouchers in various categories.
Along with winning the annual club shield, Hudson also came third in the Sunday competition and won the Junior Cup, walking away with $290 worth of vouchers, a fishing rod, t-shirts and a bottle of rum, which he passed on to his captain, Bill East.
Club commodore Pat Leitch says that in addition to the open competition run in early January, the club holds three members-only competitions during the year.
He says new members are very welcome.
