With the 2024 Baffle Creek Family Fishing Festival fast approaching, it’s time to get your entry forms submitted and book your accommodation.
The 2023 event attracted over 300 people – a growth of 28 percent from 2022 – which can only mean we’re doing something right.
This year’s major senior boat prize is a Sea Jay 3.85 Angler fitted up with a F15LMHA Yamaha four-stroke 15hp sitting on a Redco trailer.
As with previous years, the package comes complete with Queensland registration, river safety gear, fuel tank, rod holders and drink holders, all supplied by our friends at Bundaberg Marineland.
The teams event for 2024 has a $500 cash prize, and $10 from your team entry goes into the prize pool, so the more entering as a team, the larger the pool – see the website for more details.
We have 22 categories in senior, junior and pre-junior, all fishing for some great prizes and trophies.
The Wednesday night catch up is on again at the Baffle Creek Sport and Recreation Ground, the festival site, where we’ll have scoreboard updates, raffles and promo draws.

The Baffle Creek Fishing Club will be cooking hot food from 5.30pm on the oval and the bar will be open.
The festival kicks off on Monday September 16, so you’ll need to get along to the Baffle Creek Sport and Rec Ground at 560 Coast Rd to sign in and collect your goody bag.
You can register in person between 8.30-10.30am Monday to Friday the week of the competition at the address above or online at any time.
Saturday September 21 at 1pm is our ‘Family Fun Day’ – we’ll have rides for the kids, the famous mullet-throw event, stalls, food outlets and more raffles and promo giveaways.
The Baffle Creek Family Fishing Festival is a catch-snap and release competition, so you will need to photograph your catches on a BCFFF brag mat and upload it to our app, which will be supplied at sign up.
If you already have the app from last year, simply update it.

Hope to see you there.
