Some of our members helped out at the OzFish Tilapia takedown in Maryborough yesterday. It was a great morning with lots of smiles as plenty of pest tilapia were brought in and disposed of as required. Presentation of fab prizes was followed by a sausage sizzle. Well done to all who attended!! 🐟🐟🐟

Our meetings are weekly each Wednesday at 4pm-5pm. During this time we often have educational talks by guest speakers or our own club members on a variety or fishing and boating related topics. The past 2 weeks we have have Marnie and Nat from Marine Parks visit for a chat followed by Craig and Neil from Fisheries QLD. We really appreciate the time that these folk spent with us and our room was packed for each visit. Bring on the new clubhouse!! Instead of relying on printed guides which can go out-of-date, there are now some great, easy to use Apps for smartphones which are regularly up-dated and provide accurate data on Marine Park Zones and fishing rules and regulations. Useful links below.

Wednesday afternoons at our clubhouse often have visiting speakers for our ‘education hour’, yesterday it was one of our own with Mark giving us a talk on the invasive tilapia (cichlids) that are taking over our waterways. He also went on to explain and demonstrate some practical tips and tricks on responsible and sustainable fishing methods. Thanks Mark!!!

Our Wednesday afternoon club meetings are a great chance to learn some new skills or brush up on some older forgotten ones. With our upcoming fishing trip to Lake Monduran in mind, yesterdays 'education hour' was Barra themed. Don shared some great info on various lures. Aaron then came up to show us his method for tying the FG Knot to join Braid to Leader.
Fun fact, FG is believed to stand for Fine Grip, Freaking Good (and other 'similar' variations). It is also sometimes called the GT knot for its strength in catching Giant Trevally. The other advantage besides strength is the ability to pass through the rod eyelets for ease of casting and retrieval. Thanks to Aaron and Don for sharing hints and info. Happy fishing!!! 🐟🐟🐟
Club meetings are held every Wednesday 4pm - 5pm at the clubhouse adjacent to the HB Sports Club in Tavistock St, Torquay.
