Bermagui Big Game Anglers Club - BBGAC

Bermagui Big Game Anglers Club - BBGAC The Bermagui Big Game Anglers Club is one of Australia's oldest fishing clubs. based in Bermagui,

The Bermagui Big Game Anglers Club located in the small coastal town of Bermagui was established in 1936 . The game fishery off the coast of Bermagui became known internationally by the visit of Zane Grey the world famous author and well known big game fisherman of the 1930s. The subsequent publication of "An American Angler in Australia" detailed his experiences in Bermagui including the first recorded capture of a yellowfin tuna. The warm currents in late Spring and Summer bring a fantastic marlin bite close to the coast and in Autumn early winter yellowfin tuna and then bluefin tuna turn up along the coast. Mako sharks are a year long proposition as well as yellowtail kingfish for most of the year. Members of the BBGAC hold many NSW and Australian Records - check our records page for details, some records are still current from the 1930's and are published on our website. New members are always welcome please click on the membership tab for information on how to join.

The BBGAC would like to extend its deepest sympathies to the Katrakilis family on the passing of Steve Katrakilis, a long-time Bermagui club member.

Steve and his family were frequent visitors to Bermagui, where they had a holiday home and spent many days on the water aboard their Haines Hunter, chasing marlin and tuna.

Steve also made game-fishing lures, a hobby that saw his basement filled with skirts, heads and moulds. I’m proud to say that I used many of Steve’s lures to switch some very nice fish with over the years.

Our thoughts are with Steve’s family and friends at this difficult time.

Steve’s funeral will be held at Rookwood Crematorium, South Chapel, on Tuesday 18 August at 1:30 pm.
