THIS JULY SCHOOL HOLIDAYS COME AND ENJOY A WEEKEND OF FISHING AND FAMILY FUN & ACTIVITIES AT THE
COD HOLE FISHING COMP.

We are very excited to announce the Gilligan's Island Edition of the Cod Hole Fishing Comp coming this June/July school holidays.

The weekend is as much about family fun, having a go, enjoying the outdoors as it is about an expert fishing. The name of the game is having a go and having fun while you do it.

The event is hosted by the Maroochy River Park caravan park
(the friendliest park on the coast)

BIGGER AND BETTER FOR 2019

Registration Thursday (Woo hoo!!)

To take full advantage of the school holidays this year, registeration will now open on the Thursday afternoon (4th of July), giving those who want to, an extra day of competition fishing. That way you spread out your fishing over the weekend and still have time to participate in the other fun and games.
