The Harden’s very own Deep Hole Fishing Club celebrated its end of year Christmas party last Saturday at the Harden Bowling Club. Santa Claus was a huge hit with both the children and the fishermen, and his bellowing baritone notes resonated throughout the club. His departure was accompanied by cries of “Encore, Encore!” But Santa Claus didn’t oblige. Kyle Murray was the recipient of the inaugural Catch of the Year Award, for his effort in snaring an 88 centimetre Cod earlier in the year. He is pictured with Vice-President John Hawkins and President Mick Whittington.
