Fishing fun event

GRAB your rods and castnets and head to the Bluewater Fishing Club Lease on the Cooktown waterfront this Saturday for the first of a series of fun family events planned by the club.

Club secretary/treasurer Helen Greaves said there were prizes on offer for the kids’ lure throwing competition, and some useful information on hand for all fishers.

“We will have a representative from the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries giving a quick chat about what can and can’t be caught, bag limits and the like,” she said.

Attendees can also get tips on how to throw a cast net and enjoy a sausage sizzle and cold drink, and some of the best views in Cooktown.

Ms Greaves said the club was planning regular local family-friendly activities, and hoped attendees at the fun day would bring their ideas for future events.

The fun day is sponsored by Cooktown Platinum Realty, The Lure Shop and Cooktown Hardware.
