A Fishing Competition To Reel In All Anglers

Published On : Oct 22, 2021
It's been said that good things come to those who bait, especially for those throwing a line in to win a local fishing tournament.
Redcliffe Peninsula Game and Sportfish Club (RPGSC) will host their annual sportfish competition from Friday, 12 November to Sunday, 14 November at the Moreton Bay Boat Club.
RPGSC Chairman Noel Day said the competition was designed to cater for all types of fishing.
It's a friendly competition,ť Noel said. Everybody loves to go out and have a fish and it adds a bit to your fishing if you've got a challenge and can go and participate in something like this.
The competition is open to the public, but if they are not a member of ANSA or QGFA, which are the two fishing bodies in Queensland, we can give them a temporary membership into ANSA for the weekend.ť
Anglers keen to compete can head along to a meet and greet at Moreton Bay Boat Club on Friday night.
We've got a briefing to explain the rules and go through the categories,ť Noel said. We hand out some cards, which have the tournament code for the weekend, so they have to take a photo of their fish on a brag mat, which is a measuring mat, with their card in it.'
Entrants can take part in one or more of three different challenges.
For the beach (land-based) challenge, people can fish off the beach, jetty, wharf, or bank,ť Noel said. It's a combined total length of their five best fish.
The bay challenge is for bays, lakes, estuaries, canals and rivers within South East Queensland, so they can fish at Somerset Dam, Pine River, Caboolture, Brisbane River or Moreton Bay. Once again, that's the combined length of their five best fish.
The bluewater (offshore) challenge is outside a line from Combyora Point on Moreton Island to Skirmish Point on Bribie Island, which is outside of Moreton.ť
A barbecue will be held at the boat club from 3:30pm on Sunday, followed by a presentation where prizes will be awarded for the longest overall fish, as well as a $200 mystery prize.
Entry costs are $25 for senior members of ANSA or QGFA. Accompanying junior members are free. Non-members can pay $10 for temporary membership. For more information go to rpgsc.com.au
