THE YEAR THAT WAS. There is nothing quite like that first fish feeling. Congratulations to all our members involved in helping 6 budding Anglers tag and release their first billfish.
Here's to many more firsts, lifelong memories, and plenty more tagged billfish in the seasons ahead! 🎣🐟

🎣 That's a wrap on the 2025–2026 Game Fishing Season at Mooloolaba Game Fishing Club! 🎣

What a season it's been! We're incredibly proud of every one of our members for the dedication, passion and effort they've put in over the past year.

The weather has not played fair, but the time we were able to spend on the water has certainly paid off. As we reflect back on the season, we can share a few exciting highlights:

🐟 64 tagged fish submitted to QGFA, including: 35 Black Marlin, 11 Blue Marlin, 1 Striped Marlin, 6 Sailfish and 11 Other Species.
🎉 6 members tagged their very first fish
👦 18 fish were tagged by our junior members
⏱️ 1,345 collective hours spent on the water
📈 Membership grew by 7%, including 27 members who are brand new to game fishing!

Join Us to celebrate these amazing achievements as well our Annual Award Winners at our AGM on Sunday August 23 - Details to Follow!

🔔 A reminder that memberships are now due for the new season. We'd love to welcome you back for another fantastic year on the water.

Thank you to everyone who made this season one to remember. Here's to an even bigger and better 2026–2027 season! 🎣💙

📢 BABES ANNOUNCEMENT 📢
It is with absolute heartbreak to announce that Billfish Babes 2026 has been cancelled due to persistent bad weather. The committee has worked so hard to organise one of the biggest, best Babes comps this year and we are so sad we are not able to deliver it for you. We will be back again next year so keep your calendars clear!

We would like to thank our amazing sponsors who have shown us such amazing support through all the ups and downs. We are also very humbled by the interest and messages from keen anglers and skippers from across the country wanting to know the latest updates so they can move their entire lives around to make it work.

We are currently organising a Club BBQ under the tree near our clubhouse to still provide any local anglers with a chance to get together, meet new people and talk all things fishing! Please keep your eye out for the details 🩷
