The anglers who competed in the 2017 NQ Sportfishing Championships.

Over the recent Labour Day long weekend two great events kept anglers busy reeling in the fish. Across the state a species challenge was hosted by Australian National Sportfishing Association Queensland branch (ANSA Qld). In the tropics the North Queensland Sportfishing Championships was hosted by the Hinchinbrook Sportfishing Club.

The statewide species challenge saw 35 competitors from eight different clubs landing 67 different species of fish over the weekend.

“This annual event is run by ANSA Qld and aimed at offering members from all over the state an opportunity to get out on the water and enjoy the weekend with family and friends,” ANSA Qld President, Nathan Johnston explained.

“Online fish captures were submitted throughout the weekend and automatically updated on a progressive online leader board for the four fishing categories. The rules were simple – catch and enter as many different species of fish during the weekend using the new ANSA Qld online capture entry form and the person with the biggest tally of species at the end wins,” Nathan said.
