Good morning everyone!

The Trask Land, Shadforth Marlin Extravaganza tournament is coming up fast! As we finalise the details we wanted to welcome our newest naming rights sponsor, Shadforth!

The sanctioned dates are as follows;

Briefing Thursday, 23 April 2026
Fishing Saturday and Sunday the 25 & 26 April 2026.

This is the Anzac Day weekend, however there is not a public holiday this year(you will have to take that up with your local member) we will observe altered fishing times to work around this within the tournament.

Every year, the prize pool gets bigger and this year is no exception! With well over $100,000.00 in cash and prizes up for the taking!

Our capture prize is back and bigger! With a few large models being caught, you would be mad not to enter this category!

Thanks everyone and we look forward to seeing you all at briefing.
