Game Fishing With Family And Friends

For most people, fishing is about having fun ' which is something that is high on the agenda for the Newport Game Fish Club.

The club was formed in 2017 by a group of enthusiastic fishing friends, who wanted to start a game fishing club with a laid back approach and no politics.

Captain of the Newport Game Fish Club, Ben Kelly, said the club hosted weekends, once a month, where members fish Saturday and Sunday, and follow up with a weigh-in and BBQ on the Sunday evening.

We welcome visitors along to our barbecue for a chat and encourage members to take visitors and friends out, and the first marlin caught by a visitor [on each boat] will classify as points to that boat,� Ben said.��

The club promotes a tag and release section for all marlin and billfish caught. Any yellowfin tuna and dolphin fish� caught are brought back for weigh-in.

The club caters for men, women and juniors, and hold� a meetings on the last Tuesday of every month.

More information can be found via the Newport Game Fish Club's Facebook page.
