We welcome all new members, and the club has been established to cater for serious competitive anglers, families and newcomers to the sport wanting to learn.
We place a large emphasis on juniors with a dedicated Junior Mentor elected to the committee. With divisions in both inshore and offshore, we cater for land-based and boat fishers alike.
Our next trip (Trip 2) will be a ‘go as you please’ event held between Noosa River Mouth and the northern tip of Fraser Island on April 10, 2021.
