The Whitsunday Game Fish Club is excited to host its Billfish and Tuna Rally on Sunday, 29 September, offering anglers the chance to compete using any of the GFAA’s line classes for Club points. This event is a great opportunity for teams preparing for the Annual Light Tackle Tournament (10–13 October) to hone their skills and identify prime areas where gamefish are feeding on bait schools.
The Rally Registration and Briefing will take place on Thursday, 26 September, at 6 p.m. at the Clubhouse on Altmann Avenue, Cannonvale. Afterward, participants can join an informative workshop covering essential techniques like tying strong knots, rigging baits and lures using both "J" and circle hooks, and optimizing tackle and boat setups. Helpful hints will be shared to increase the chances of landing a memorable catch. Families are welcome to attend this fun and educational event.
The prize presentation will take place on Sunday, 29 September, at 5 p.m. at the Whitsunday Sports Park (behind PCYC in Jubilee Pocket). Score sheets are due by 4:30 p.m., with details discussed during the briefing.
Club President Ash Matthews will also discuss future events and an exciting national competition for junior anglers, offering impressive prizes and trophies. Entry is free, and membership forms will be available for anyone interested in joining this vibrant community.
