A workshop night detailing a range of ways to help improve your chances of success when targeting Mackerel and Reef fish will be held on Thursday, July 17, from 6pm at the Marine Club on Altmann Avenue, Cannonvale. Everyone is welcome.
Members of the Whitsunday Game Fish Club will demonstrate various methods of rigging a range of baits and lures for catching Mackerel, discuss some of the better locations to find them at different stages of the tide, and share a few angling ideas and proven tips on Reef fishing.
The workshop should be helpful to new members—and some of the old ones too—who intend to compete for the fantastic prizes on offer in the Men's, Ladies, Junior (11–16 years), and Small Fry (5–11 years) sections of the Whitsunday Powersports & Marine "Mackerel and Reef Fish Rally," being held on the weekend of July 19–20.
All details of the rally will be explained at the briefing and angler registration prior to the workshop on Thursday night, where new membership will also be available to anyone wishing to join the club, fish the rally, and enjoy the fun, family sport of light tackle game fishing.
This is the first event of the new club year, and the newly revamped monthly and yearly point score will also be outlined on Thursday night. Don’t miss this one, it’s set to be a big year for all members, especially the kids.
