Thank you for your interest in joining the Sunshine Coast Game Fishing Club.

The Sunshine Coast Game Fishing Club is lucky enough to have Australia’s number one light tackle sports fishing area, Mooloolaba, on our doorstep and the Club has won the award from the Australian Game Fishing Association for the most fish tagged and released by any game fishing club in Australia an impressive six times, making us one of the most successful tag and release clubs in Australia. We also boast an impressive history as Queensland’s Champion Gamefishing Club since the beginning of the QGFA Championship records.

Our monthly meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Kawana Waters Hotel, Nicklin Way, Kawana. Meetings commence at 7.30pm, with nibbles served at intermission. Members are usually in attendance from 6.30pm, and you are most welcome to join us for a social chat or a bite to eat in the hotel bistro before the meeting commences. We present a different feature at each meeting – eg tackle and gear maintenance, fishing techniques, marine electronics, boat maintenance etc – and are only too happy to put something together if there is a particular fishing / marine feature you are interested in. A prize is presented at each meeting to the highest point-scoring angler for the previous month.

Our club magazine Reel Talk is produced on a quarterly basis. This publication is designed to keep our members informed of the clubs activities and report on fishing for the month. The success of Reel Talk is widely based upon our member’s input, and you are most welcome to submit a story or anecdote to the editor for inclusion in the magazine.

One of the greatest strengths of our club is the camaraderie that is evident amongst our members, and the willingness of our members to share fishing tips, tricks, and information. If you are new to fishing, looking for advice, or looking for someone to either come out fishing with you or take you fishing with them, don’t hesitate to mention your requirements at the club meetings, in the club website forum, or get the editor to put a line in the club magazine. We are justifiably proud of our club. One of the ways you can show you are a part of the SCGFC is to purchase a club shirt. A variety of club merchandise can be purchased at our monthly club meetings, and being distinctive in their style are great to wear to inter-club events.

We look forward to seeing you at the monthly club meetings, and out on the water.
