Hinchinbrook Catch and Release Tournament Returns to Lucinda

Anglers from across Queensland are set to descend on the region for the annual Hinchinbrook Catch and Release Tournament, a major event hosted by the Ingham Rod & Reel Club.

The tournament will run from Friday 15 May to Saturday 16 May, kicking off with team registrations, a welcome dinner and briefing at the Lucinda Hotel.

Fishing will take place over two days, with teams departing from the Dungeness Boat Ramp from 5.30am each morning. Competition hours are scheduled for Friday from 7am to 5pm and Saturday from 7am to 4.30pm, before concluding with a presentation evening back at the Lucinda Hotel.

The popular event attracts competitors from across the state, and occasionally interstate, with strong support from local sponsors and the wider fishing community.

Importantly, funds raised from the tournament go towards the club’s juvenile barramundi restocking program, helping to support the sustainability of local fisheries.

Further details and sponsor highlights will be shared in the lead-up to the event via the Ingham Rod & Reel Club’s social media pages.
