The Whitsunday Game Fish Club’s highly anticipated Queenfish and Trevally Rally is set to hit the water on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 May, with all current Game Fish Club members invited to take part in the action-packed weekend of sportfishing.
The event will be fished under club rules with an open line class, and anglers will be targeting five eligible species: Queenfish, Giant Trevally, Golden Trevally, Big Eye Trevally, and Gold Spot Trevally.
While most competitors are expected to favour surface lures such as poppers and stickbaits — popular for their explosive surface strikes — a special section will cater to those preferring to fish with bait.
A briefing and registration night will be held at 6pm on Friday, 16 May, at the Marine Club on Altmann Avenue, Cannonvale. Sam and the team from Tackle World Airlie Beach will be on hand to give a detailed talk covering the best lures, proven techniques, and local hotspots — including tips for fishing the productive waters as close as Shute Harbour.
Everyone is welcome at the Friday night session — whether you’re fishing the rally or not — and it’s completely free to attend.
Fishing kicks off any time after the briefing on Friday night and competitors must return to the Marine Club by 5pm Saturday for the presentation of prizes.
Nomination fees are $25 for adults and $10 for juniors under 16, with all event details to be finalised during the Friday evening briefing. It promises to be a fun, informative and exciting event for anglers of all skill levels.
