The Whitsunday Game Fish Club's membership year begins on 1 July and promises to be an exciting one for new and old members alike, with a variety of events on the calendar, including the Blue Ribbon "Ben Doolin Light Tackle Tournament" on 11 - 13 October.
The first competition of the year is the Mackerel and Reef Fish Rally on 13 and 14 July. (Reef Fish have been included due to the new Queensland Mackerel bag and boat limits). All details will be explained at the Briefing and Registration on Thursday, 11 July from 6pm at the Marine Club in Altmann Avenue, Cannonvale.
Mackerel are about in good numbers at this time of the year and the Club will be holding a Workshop and Information night on Thursday, 4 July from 6pm at the Clubhouse, demonstrating several methods of rigging baits and lures to tempt mackerel and explaining the local spots where they hang out.
Also Club President and charter boat skipper, Ash Matthews will be passing on his proven tips on how to catch a variety of reef species and the best spots and stages of the tide to find them.
Everybody is welcome, so bring the family and tell your friends as this will be a very informative night for anglers of all ages.
You may even like to join this family oriented Club and membership is being offered on the night at last year's fee of $60 per Adult and $30 per Junior and become part of this great club that began in 1979.
Gail will have the Bar open from 6pm and there will be a raffle for a $100 meat tray. Hope to see you there."
