Founded in 1976 by passionate local angler Don Woodford, this vibrant club has built a proud legacy of bringing together people who share a love of fishing, friendship, and the outdoors. What began as a small group of locals eager to improve their fishing knowledge has grown into one of the region’s most respected and community-focused fishing clubs.

For nearly five decades, the club has provided members with opportunities to learn new skills, compete in exciting events, support sustainable fishing practices, and create lifelong friendships. From social outings and family-friendly competitions to educational club nights and major tournaments, the club continues to foster a welcoming environment for anglers of all ages and experience levels.

The club is also proudly home to the renowned Gold Coast Flathead Classic — one of Australia’s premier catch-and-release fishing tournaments — attracting anglers from across the country and showcasing the Gold Coast’s world-class waterways and fisheries.

Today, the club proudly carries forward Don Woodford’s original vision — encouraging participation, sharing knowledge, and promoting a strong fishing community for future generations.
