Hi All members, I would like to announce that we have hit 108 members. That's right 108! 🍾🍻🎣🛥️🏆

We, the committee had a few discussions about increasing the member base and making sure our club is a family friendly all abilities inclusive fishing club. Lots of fishing clubs are very male oriented and don't include women and children like we do. We are setting the mould for all fishing clubs in the future.

The Warneet Fishing Club Inc Public Page had approximately 35-40 members last year and we wanted to hit 75+ members. We did that easily. We have been promoting the club in many ways and bringing more sponsorship which means more prizes for our members through competitions and raffles.

We decided that once we hit 75 we needed to set a new target. Well 100+ was the target.....we currently sit at 108 and hope to keep rising. This is the most members the club has ever had, so we've set a record.

As a committee we decided to award our 100th member with a gift from the club, which was a club brag mat, a club stubby holder and a squid jig from Egitex .
Congratulations to Anthony Sullivan on being our 100th member, we welcome you to the club and hope you enjoy it .

Special thanks to Reedy's Rigs for joining up with his family and possum aswell who were close to being the 100th.

Congratulations to the committee and to our club president Carly Edwards we have done a fantastic job and all deserve a pat on the back.

Let's all continue to grow this club and take it to the next level. As a committee we have some goals we are working towards to help benefit the club future.

Thankyou to all of our members for signing up and being a part of this fantastic fishing community.

🎣 Warneet Fishing Club – Topline Fencing Snapper & Gummy Comp 🎣

What an awesome day! A huge thank you to everyone who came along — it was an incredible turnout and a fantastic vibe all round.

With the tough conditions, many struggled to get on the fish — slow tides and some rough weather came through overnight Saturday. A special mention to Carly, who braved it through the 1m waves, determined to catch both snapper and gummy no matter what. Let’s give her a big pat on the back — we’re proud of you, Carly, and we know Scott is too! 👏

A massive shoutout to Kerrie for cooking up a great BBQ and to Mark Jackel for selling raffle tickets — we couldn’t do it without you!

A very special thank you to Brett Reed, Possum, and the team from Reedys Rigs, who joined us to present our club with The Lord of Snapper Comp Shield! 🏆 Warneet Fishing Club had the most members enter this comp — an amazing achievement and something we’re so proud of. It’s always a pleasure having Brett and his crew recognise and support our club.

We were also joined by Mark from Fuchus Lubricants, who has come onboard as a sponsor this season — welcome to the Warneet Fishing Club family!

A warm welcome to all our new members who joined today — great to have you with us, and we’re looking forward to plenty of fishing stories and good times ahead.

A big thank you again to Topline Fencing for sponsoring this comp. With their support, we were able to put on a delicious BBQ lunch (thanks to Brian’s Gourmet Meats), stock up on raffle goodies from Compleat Angler, and provide some fantastic prizes.

When I became President, my goal was to grow our membership to 100 members — and today, we achieved it! 🎉
To say I’m overwhelmed is an understatement. Our club is growing stronger than ever, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for Warneet Fishing Club.

As you would have seen today, I’m still not 100% better, but I’m able to do a little more than at the last catch-up — and I’m really looking forward to seeing you all at The Big Bash! 💪🎣

Thank you all for being part of this amazing journey ❤️
