Are you excited? Because WE ARE!!! 🎣🔥

As we gear up for the Innisfail Game Fishing Club’s Annual Billfish Tournament, we take a moment to honour and remember two incredible men who helped shape our club and community.

Remembering Rod Collins — a founding member of the Innisfail Game Fishing Club. Rod wasn’t just part of the club… he became family to so many members over the years.

And remembering Peter Williamson — our beloved weighmaster, whose dedication, passion, and presence meant so much to everyone involved.

If we’re doing this… we’re doing it for them!
