The Game Fishing Association of Australia (GFAA) is the longest established national fishing association in the world. It has been, and remains, a model and example for game fishing associations around the world.
As such, the GFAA is affiliated with the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) and plays an active part in the leadership of the sport of game fishing on a world level.
Townsville Game Fishing Club is making a big investment in the club’s future with their Sharkies juniors group.
Not only do the kids get to have fun learning the ropes of game fishing, but they also get to experience funding, promotion and running of events, developing skills and responsibilities beyond their years.
The video serves as a wonderful example of junior development and as a template for other clubs.

Every October 25th our Club becomes another year older, for on this date in 1971 the foundation meeting of the Botany Bay GFC was held in a boat shed on the shores of Shipwrights Bay, near Tom Uglys Bridge.
GFAA is pleased to announce the release of the Association's app for iOS and Android devices.
The app complements the new GFAA website.
Now, even when not connected to the internet, you can view up-to-date capture and release records and data immediately.
