Riverview Family Caravan Park<\/a>\u2019s kitchen in Ocean Grove.<\/p>\n\u201cPeople that weren\u2019t in the competition had the opportunity to pay $10 for a plate of fish. A chef named Adam comes down from Melbourne to prepare and cook the fish for everyone, he does a fantastic job,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were various prizes awarded on the day including most fish, winning boat and longest fish. The conditions were absolutely perfect, the wind only picked up once the boats had returned.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Pound said they have attracted sponsors who put forward around $500 to help run the event, drawing on businesses outside the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that a lot of the local business are already supporting other community clubs. We draw on the holidaymakers from Riverview Caravan Park, or those who have holiday homes down here and own a business.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve gone from donating $800, to over $8,000. It was important for us to donate to the surf life saving club because we use the beach and our kids do too, and we rely on them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Pound said they couldn\u2019t be happier with the turn out, the weather and the haul of fish.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s getting bigger every year. Six years ago, it was three boats and this year there were 16. Our donation means the club might be able to buy furnishings for the new building, or another portable defibrillator.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s our way of giving back to them for keeping us and our families safe at the beach.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
