Welcome to Sydney Game Fishing Club
Sydney Game Fishing Club was formed early in the 1950's following the efforts of the "NSW Rod Fishers Society" to encourage the formation of Big Game Fishing clubs up and down the NSW coast. Many members of the society (formed in 1904) became members of the fledgling SGFC, while others stayed on and followed other piscatorial persuits. Our clubhouse is situated on the end of Watson's Bay wharf and has facilities for around 120 persons and a weigh station extension which allows temporary mooring of several boats. The club is a member of the New South Wales Game Fishing Association, and competitions are held regularly against other clubs in our zone ("Central Zone") and around the state. Sydney members are regularly major trophy winners on the tournament circuit, and as a result the club has also been very successful. Several times in recent years we have been awarded trophies for being the Champion Club for Tag & Release ("T&R") efforts within both NSW and also the whole of Australia. The club publishes a bi-monthly newsletter, "Tight Lines" which is distributed not only to our members, but also to sister clubs all around Australia. Circulation is around 550 copies. Membership is presently around 400, with some 80 or so boats of varying sizes between 17' and 76' being registered with the club.
