The Whitsunday Game Fish Club invites anglers of all skill levels to join its highly anticipated "Sweeties & Squires Ladies and Kids Fun Family Fishing Weekend," taking place from March 28th to 30th. This exciting event is open to all current Club members, who can participate free of charge. Non-members can also compete by joining the Club on Briefing Night for a fee of $35 per junior (under 16) and $70 per adult, with a chance to win some fantastic prizes.
As part of the Club’s Kids 2 Fish Program, the event is designed to encourage young anglers to get involved in the sport of fishing while enjoying a fun and family-oriented atmosphere. Every junior participant will receive a free Shimano Rod and Reel along with a tackle package, generously provided by the Whitsunday Game Fish Club and the Game Fishing Association of Australia (G.F.A.A.).
The event weekend kicks off on Friday, March 28th with the registration of lady and junior anglers, who will receive their new rods and reels. A briefing will follow, offering essential information for the competition, and the evening will conclude with a sausage sizzle at the Marine Club, located at Altmann Avenue, Cannonvale, starting at 6pm.
The rules are simple; participants must only use a rod or reel to catch fish, with every catch being eligible for one of the fantastic prizes, whether kept for dinner or released! To enter a fish into the competition, anglers must take a photo of their catch on a brag mat and send it to a Committee Member. The prizes will be awarded based on the merit of the fish, not necessarily the size. A panel of judges will review the entries, and winners will be announced during the Presentation on Sunday, March 30th.
After the Friday briefing, competitors can start fishing at their leisure, with no set start time. This laid-back approach encourages families to enjoy their time together out on the water.
For the events finale, competitors will need to return to the Club by 12 noon for the Presentation Ceremony, where the winners will be recognised and treated to gourmet nibblies.
This event is a wonderful opportunity to get out on the water, spend time with family and friends, and share the joy of fishing. It’s the perfect way to introduce new anglers to the sport and create lasting memories with loved ones.
