Taylors Beach Fishing tournament

THE Taylors Beach Progress Association (TBPA) is hosting their annual Fishing Tournament on May 26 to 28, 2023. As the name implies, the tournament is family-focused, with categories specifically for juniors; however, there is still plenty on offer for adult anglers.

One of the features of this tournament is you don't need a boat to compete, as there are categories, especially for fish caught off the beach.

"We are very appreciative of the continuous and growing support of our sponsors," said Michael Harris, President of the TBPA. "In our first year, we had $6,000 of sponsorship, and this year we hope to achieve $30,000," Michael said.

The organisers encourage catch-andrelease as it contributes to sustainable fishing, which is very important to the community and region.

Over the weekend, there are sausage sizzles, burgers, drinks, social activities on Friday and Saturday nights, and presentations on Sunday.
