The Redland Bay Amateur Fishing Club caters to fishos of all skill levels.
Founded 30 years ago by a few enthusiasts at the Redland Bay pub, the club has grown into a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for the outdoors and fishing.
The clubhouse for the RBAFC, located at 247-257 Esplanade Redland Bay, boasts a two-storey viewing deck with stunning views of the southern bay.
In response to the fishing industry’s focus on sustainability, we have introduced a catch and release competition called the Sports Fishing Competition.
Sponsored prizes and vouchers are up for grabs in this monthly competition, which allows members to enjoy the thrill of fishing while promoting conservation efforts.
The Sports Fishing Comp features two designated species for the month, with separate categories for both senior and junior members choice.
This year, we have an overall prize of a custom-made and engraved Thoroughbred rod and Okuma reel combo.
The comp will be done on a points system.
Every winner of a species will receive two points and every winner from a members choice will receive one point.
The person at the end with the most points will win the overall prize.
In addition to the Sports Fishing Competition, our packed calendar includes events such as beach fishing competitions at Stradbroke and K’gari islands, camping trips, freshwater dam excursions, artificial bait days, social gatherings and inshore and offshore fishing competitions.
Monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month.
Though the sign-on day for 2024 has passed, interested individuals can still join the club by visiting our website at rbafc.org
