The Cardwell Sportfishing Club has officially launched its first competition month for 2026, inviting members to dust off their gear and get lines in the water.

For February, the nominated species are Nannygai in the reef category and Barramundi for river fishing, giving anglers plenty of opportunity to test their skills across different environments. Fishing opens on Sunday, 1 February and runs through to midnight on Saturday, 28 February.

Competition presentations will be held at the club’s monthly BBQ on Sunday, 1 March, starting at 3pm at the clubhouse, with members encouraged to come along, catch up and celebrate the month’s efforts.

Participants are reminded to submit brag mat photos by 9am on Sunday, 1 March to fishing@cardwellsportfishingclub.com.au, with the club also welcoming photos of anglers proudly holding their catch.

With the season now underway, club officials are encouraging members to get involved, enjoy the competition and make the most of another year of great fishing!
