Today we give a giant shout-out to our Sponsors and Suppliers, without their continued support the calibre of our prizes would not be possible - and we know, we say this every year but things really would not run without everyone doing their bit.

We've also had some new sponsors jump on-board which just means we are bigger and better every year!

➡️ Reflections Grabine Lakeside
➡️ Anaconda Stores

We are so proud to see the Tournament turn into what it has as one of the large(r) fishing events in NSW, and to be approaching its 25th running in 2027 (next year) is such an incredible achievement for all that have been, and are involved each year!

So this post is not only for our sponsors & suppliers, but also our entrants, thank-you for coming back year after year and getting the word out!
And lastly to our small-but-mighty committee - it would not exist without these guys!!

Happy Friday fisher-friends!
In just 14 short weeks, some of you will be kitted out in our 2026 gear and hopefully already out there catching fish 🎣

A quick little note as we start to ramp up our posts + info here on our page..

🚨 Online Entry will be opening very shortly on our shop.
It will remain open until the 1st of August and we will share a link for you once it's open 👈🏼
However.. after a few complaints about how annoying it is to checkout with one at a time - we just wanted to ensure we're all on the same page..

- You can still enter at the Tournament, with our manual paper forms as you have always been able to ✅️ we aren't taking that away.

- It is not mandatory to use the online option 🙅🏻‍♀️

- Online Entry is purely an option for those that want to skip sitting down to fill out forms - we get that it is super busy and we appreciate everyone being patient while entering and having an online option helps move some of that traffic across to another committee member.

- Online entry MUST be purchased ONE PER TRANSACTION which allows us to collect all the entrants data for the form (yes.. that info you enter at checkout is exported onto our entry forms manually by one of our committee members and is a massive job!)

• Line up at the ONLINE ENTRY + PRE-ORDER MERCH window with your ID 🆔️
• We get your form out to be signed by you ✍️🏼
• We hand over your entry tag in return 🔖 (or your merch IF you pre-ordered.)

If you checkout with more than one per transaction we then have to contact you to get each entrants info for this method to work.
Please don't do it 🙅🏻‍♀️
This isn't something we can currently change on the shop.

We totally understand that online entry isn't for everyone and that is 100% ok.

Stay tuned for further info as everything comes together behind the scenes 📻

Alright guys.. a safety reminder for today.

We have hundreds of little tackers join us at GFFT every year - which is such an amazing thing to see!
We love seeing their photos with their catches and their eyes lighting up over the boat (2 little guys won the boats last year - how good!!!)

But... have you ever had a conversation with them about what to do if things go wrong?
We always want everyone to make it back to camp incident free, but please ensure you chat about safety (in general - not just on the water) with everyone in your camp for the "just incase" scenarios.

What's your no.1 safety tip for your kids when boating?

Start quizzing the young ones next time you're out together 🧑‍🏫

We all have a part to play in ensuring the next generation of boaters are safety champions 🛟
