The club holds fishing field days from Kalbarri in the north to Bremer Bay on the south coast, including Rottnest and many places in between. Usually the field days further from Perth are held over a long weekend.
A local Perth metropolitan area fishing field day is held each month for members who cannot go on the trip away. Local field days are run every month except when the main venue includes the metro area.
Local boundaries are to be decided at the General Meeting before the Field Day, including the Swan River, the North and South Moles at Fremantle and all the top surf beaches, reef, jetty, rock and rock wall fishing spots in the metropolitan area.
Some members make up a group of members and friends and go fishing locally for a few hours when they can get away between the fishing start time on Saturday and the weigh in time on the Sunday or the Monday.
This is a great way to be involved even when you can't spare all the time for a trip away. There have been some great fish caught by people who have had only a few hours to spare from the other things they have to fit into their lives.
Fishing Field Days are run under the Club's fishing competition rules and the Club's code of ethics. These promote and encourage responsible fishing including catch and release fishing.
