TESTIMONIALS<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply a wonderful way to bring so many different people together and raise money for the local community.<\/p>\n

The ‘people’ part of the weekend was a real highlight for me. We\u2019re so lucky we can come together like we do.<\/p>\n

On top of everything, the fishing was fantastic and any time on the water is always well spent.<\/p>\n

An amazingly well setup weekend that could be enjoyed by everyone lucky enough to be there.<\/p>\n

Thank you!! Ash Spicer<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

20th Anniversary Fishing Competition<\/h2><\/div>

Huge fundraising efforts to support the purchase of firefighting equipment to protect our community.<\/b><\/p>\n

Established in 2004, the Gipsy Point Fishing Competition was born out of a desire to bring the locals together to enjoy our beautiful environment and raise money to support the local communities of Gipsy Point, Genoa and Mallacoota. Pioneered by John Wood (deceased), Margaret Jackson and Sally Foster, the cash prize each year is secondary to the ultimate prestige of getting your name on the hand-crafted honour boards. Now fished over three days, the annual competition for longest Bream and longest Flathead is always hotly contested by adults and juniors. Over 20 years the competition has raised tens of thousands of dollars to support initiatives and local groups.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
