The 2025 Taylors Beach Family Annual Fishing Competition was a resounding success, once again bringing together locals and visitors for a weekend of fun and friendly competition. Held under perfectly clear skies, the much-loved event saw families lining the shorelines and jetty, rods in hand, in celebration of the region’s rich fishing culture.

“Done and dusted for another year,” said Cr Marbelli. “It was fantastic to see so many families out and about, enjoying the weekend together. A heartfelt thank you to all of our incredible sponsors — events like this simply wouldn’t be possible without your generosity."

She also extended appreciation to the Taylors Beach QLD – Community volunteers and committee, whose dedication drives the event’s success year after year.
