A small but thriving fishing club in the Burdekin is celebrating its 50th year in 2024. The Burdekin District Sportfishing club owes its longevity to a very strong family and social thread which runs alongside the competitive fishing aspect.
Monthly competitions culminate in a weigh-in and BBQ at a member’s residence which brings the whole group together in an informal and personal setting.
The competitive element is always present but members do share “secret” spots and are keen to encourage new and younger members. These days, club members often weigh in fish alongside their nurturing grandparents!
The club is marking its remarkable 50 years with a celebration at the Annual Presentation Night in mid-December. Any prospective or past members or anyone associated with the club through interclub competitions etc. who wish to take part in the celebrations can make contact through the club’s Facebook page and advise of their intention by the end of November.
Happy 50th Anniversary to the Burdekin District Sportfishing Club.
