One of the region’s most anticipated annual events, the Shadeview Taylors Beach Family Fishing Tournament, will return to the Hinchinbrook Shire this weekend! Proudly hosted by the Taylors Beach Progress Association (TBPA), the tournament will be held from Friday the 23rd to Sunday the 25th of May and community could not be more excited ahead of what will be another historic competition.
Held each May to avoid the wet season and coincide with the pre-harvest break for sugar industry workers, the tournament has become a cornerstone community event and a major fundraiser for the TBPA.
This year’s tournament boasts over $30,000 in prizes, including daily $1650 Garmin Dollar giveaways, and a massive Sunday raffle. First prize is a Garmin Sounder valued at $2200 (donated by Garmin), second prize is a $300 Oricom Marine Radio (donated by TDC Auto Electrical), and third prize is a $220 battery-operated mini chainsaw (donated by Ingham Motorcycles & Mowers).
Funds raised from the event continue to go directly back into the community to fund commendable projects such as the recent Progress Park facility upgrades, which were largely funded by previous tournament proceeds.
Whether you're a seasoned angler or just in it for the family fun and prizes, this event promises another memorable weekend at Taylors Beach and all tickets for the 2025 event are available right now online via the Hinchinbrook Shire Council’s Local Events Page. Happy fishing!
