Fishing is one of the Burdekin’s most popular pastimes, and the Burdekin District Sportsfishing Club is one organisation bringing people together over their mutual love of wetting a line.
The fishing club meets once a month where fishing will open on a Friday evening and close on a Sunday afternoon.
The club will then meet at a member’s residence for a barbecue and to weigh in their catches on the Sunday night.
Being a sportsfishing club, the lighter the line used, the more points are scored.
The fishing club is Australian National Sportfishing Association (ANSA) affiliated and fishes under ANSA rules.

Catches Of The Month
Rian Berryman and George Mclees both had good catches at the club’s last meet.
Rian caught a barra on prawn lures, while George’s grunter was caught on bait, believed to be a prawn.
George had a good laugh as he reeled in the grunter because he knew it was a little bigger than Rian's from their last trip.
Rian and George weighed the barra and grunter in at the last fishing club weigh in.
