It is a family orientated club with separate divisions for Male, Female, Junior (11 yrs to under 16 yrs) and small fry (under 11 yrs) Anglers. Normally on the 1st weekend in February, the club will host its annual tournament, the ‘Bigfish Bonanza’ where some 60 to 70 boats will participate.

The club also participates in the NSWGFA Interclub Tournament which is held the last weekend of February and 1st weekend in March each year at Port Stephens.
