If you fancy a fish in a beautiful part of the world that is centrally located in Queensland and has several prizes on offer, then you don’t want to miss out on the Boyne Tannum HookUp held over the May Day long weekend on Friday and Saturday April 29 and 30 and Sunday May 1, 2022.
The Boyne Tannum HookUp is held annually and in 2022 will celebrate 27 years.
It is Australia’s biggest family fishing competition, with both adult and junior categories.
It is a three-day event held in the beautiful central Queensland location of Boyne Island, which serves as a starting platform for reef trips with many top fishing spots nearby throughout the Gladstone region.
The competition aims to bring together family, friends, businesses, supporters, sponsors and community partners from all parts of Australia to enjoy a great community event and to showcase all that the Gladstone region has to offer as a premier fishing location.
The HookUp is a fishing competition that includes fishing competitor prizes and random promotional prize draws, with a total prize pool worth over $375,000, attracting thousands of registered fishing competitors and visitors to Bray Park, Boyne Island.
The comp officially kicks off at 7am on Friday April 29, 2022 and will feature daily prize draws from 6pm on each of the three nights.
Prizes include tackle-shop sponsor prizes, junior bikes, fishing category cash prizes, team competition prizes, junior boats, senior boats and a senior WR450F Yamaha motorbike.
The event finishes on Sunday night after the naming of the overall fishing category winners, fireworks and the drawing of the major promotional boat prize – a 630 Sea Jay Vision boat, powered by a 200hp Yamaha outboard with Raymarine electronics fitted by Modern Marine Electronics – valued at over $95,000!
Throughout the three-day weekend, Bray Park will be filled with plenty of activities, fun and facilities for the entire family, including fish weigh-ins, cooking demonstrations, a wide variety of delicious food and drinks, a licensed bar, free activities and fishing lessons for kids, fun rides, live music, fireworks on Sunday night and so much more.
The Boyne Tannum HookUp Association is a not-for-profit organisation that works incredibly hard to make the HookUp one of the Gladstone region’s most professional and prestigious events, creating opportunities for a number of local community groups to raise money and promote the Boyne Tannum area.
