The Whitsunday Game Fish Club will host its annual Queenfish and Trevally Rally across the weekend of 6th and 7th June, bringing anglers together for two days of sport fishing action in the Whitsundays.
The event begins with registration and a briefing night from 6pm on Thursday, 4th June, at the clubrooms on Altmann Avenue, Cannonvale.
Fishing will run from 6am Saturday until 3pm Sunday, with all score sheets, weighed fish and release photos due back at the club by 4pm ahead of presentations at 5pm.
This year’s rally also includes the second leg of the Queensland Game Fishing Association All-Ports competition, which the Whitsunday club won last year.
Organisers said the weekend would feature prizes and cash giveaways across adult, junior and “Reefies” categories for anglers under 16.
The club also thanked sponsors Sam and Beth from Tackle World Airlie Beach for supporting the event.
Queenfish are expected to provide plenty of excitement with their aerial acrobatics and fast runs, while Giant Trevally, or GTs, are tipped to test anglers and tackle with explosive strikes and powerful runs.
Any eligible gamefish caught or tagged and released under Game Fishing Association of Australia rules will count towards All-Ports points and prize categories.
The briefing night will also include fishing tips, tactics and advice on local Queenfish and Trevally hotspots.
