Leon Freeleagus will be in contact with members listed in the roster below during the week prior to their allocation to confirm their availability.
All members of the Caloundra Power Boat Club (CPBC) are eligible to join the Caloundra Power Boat Club Fishing Club (CPBCFC) upon payment of an annual membership fee due on the 1st July each year.
Fishing Club meetings are held at the Club during the Sunday weigh-ins bi-monthly or at the discretion of the Committee. Competitions are held as per the fishing calendar distributed to members. The competition divisions are Offshore, A Grade Men’s Estuary, B Grade Men’s Estuary, Women’s Estuary and Junior Estuary. The Estuary competition can be fished from water craft, beach or the shore.
Monthly competitions are fished between 12:00 midnight Friday nights and 11 am Sunday only. The weigh-in is conducted at the CPBC. A $5.00 competition registration fee must be paid to the Treasurer by 11.30 am sharp PRIOR to the weigh in to be eligible for entry into the draw and to participate in the monthly competition. Juniors fee is NIL. This fee entitles members and juniors to a free sausage sizzle lunch. Member’s family or guests are welcome at a cost of $5.00 each with frequency of participation to be managed by common sense, fairness and by the committee. A portion of these funds are donated to charity. Members must have fished at least 4 hours or have caught an eligible fish to weigh in. Juniors must have fished a minimum of one hour. Any infringement of Queensland Fisheries or club rules will result in a 50 point penalty per infringement and be ineligible for a prize in that competition
Offshore anglers are required to log in and out with the Coast Guard and must have a minimum of two persons per boat. Notification of intent to fish offshore must be given to the president or their delegate by 8pm on the Thursday prior to the competition. Estuary competition includes fishing from watercraft, beach or the shore (including rivers, canals and saltwater lakes)
A member must weigh in at least one fish to be awarded a placing (e.g. winner, runner up etc). Other members can weigh in your catch after payment of your $5.00 weigh-in fee, however you must be present to participate in the members’ draw and be awarded a placing in a competition. In the event of a tie in an adult competition the prize or prizes will be split as will the handicap points. In the case of a tie in the Junior competition, in order to promote the sport, each place getter will receive the full prize and the full handicap. You must have fulfilled your raffle and barbecue roster to participate in the sponsors’ draw.
The club weigh master is the sole identifier of all fish presented for weigh in. Members are encouraged to have their bag checked before weigh-in to avoid penalties. The grouping of fish species is aligned with the Qld Fishing Regulations e.g. Dusty Flathead (40-75cm) are regarded as a separate species to the Bar Tailed/Sand Flathead etc (30cm) and therefore 5 of each species may be weighed-in on a monthly comp. Similarly Barred Grunter (40cm) and Spotted Grunter (30cm) are separate species & the Summer/ Goldenline/Northern Whiting are separate species to the Trumpeter (Winter Whiting). The only exception is that of the Club rule to identify the Bream and Tarwhine as separate species for monthly comps only. Fishing boundaries are between Inskip Point and the Bribie Bridge for estuary anglers while the offshore boundaries are between Noosa Heads and Bribie Island Bridge with a 30 nautical mile eastern limit for offshore anglers between the above two points. To be eligible to weigh in, the member must have fished a minimum of four hours or have a legal fish to weigh in. Juniors must have fished a minimum of one hour. Any infringement of Queensland Fisheries or club rules will result in a 50 point penalty per infringement and ineligibility for a prize in that competition e.g. weighing in 17 fish would result in a 100 point penalty.
Queensland Fisheries rules and regulations, sizes and bag limits apply for offshore and estuary (except as in 4 below). A maximum of 15 fish per competitor applies to both offshore & estuary for all Grades. All fish are weighed in whole at all club competitions.
A GRADE a maximum of 5 fish per species can be weighed in.
OFFSHORE, B GRADE, LADIES & JUNIORS, 1 species a maximum of 10 fish, all others a maximum of 5 fish.
RULES FOR COMPETITION WEATHER CONDITIONS An appointed Committee Member will coordinate decisions with delegated advisers from the CPBCFC to adjudicate weather conditions for any Club fishing competitions. Their decisions are based on the governing QAFCA requirements (provided from the insuring company) and the CPBCFC rules.
Offshore Competitions: All Offshore competitions are cancelled once the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) issues a wind warning above 15knots for Sunshine Coast Waters.
Estuary Competitions: All Estuary competitions are reverted to land-based competitions once BOM issues a strong wind warning of 26 knots or above for Moreton Bay Waters (Pumicestone Passage is regarded as part of the Moreton Bay Marine Park). This means that fishing from a water vessel is not permitted.
In the event of an extreme weather condition e.g. impending cyclone several days prior to the competition, all competitions may be cancelled along with the impending bait orders.
Decisions affected by these weather conditions are made after the final BOM report issued at approximately 4:00pm on the Friday prior to the event. The Club Secretary will notify all members on any decisions affected by the conditions.
The normal prizes for a monthly competition, for Offshore and Estuary, both A Grade and B Grade, Juniors and Ladies, are club or sponsor vouchers. All senior male members have been divided into A Grade and B Grade for Estuary competitions based on a rating system. The club has adopted this rating system whereby members are rated by dividing the progressive points total after each competition by the number of competitions fished…so giving a rating. The A Grade competition is made up of approximately the highest rated 35% of members with the B Grade competition comprising approximately the remaining 65% of male members. All new male members, except those with acknowledged ability, are placed in B Grade with their ratings reviewed after each and every competition for their first six weigh-ins. If, at any stage, their rating exceeds the annual benchmark they will be immediately transferred to A Grade retaining all accumulated competition and handicap points.
All competitions, both Estuary and Offshore, are run on a points system.
All points obtained in competitions are accumulated, and at the yearly presentation, awards are presented to the Club Championship winners and runners-up of all divisions, based on the best ten results out of the twelve monthly competitions. Winners’ trophies are also presented for the Four Seasons competition for the highest accumulated points from the four nominated months, being the months of September, December, March and June. The Four Seasons trophies are awarded for Offshore, Men’s Estuary, Ladies Estuary and Juniors Estuary (no runner up trophies are awarded for the Four Seasons category).
Prizes are awarded for the heaviest fish in categories as per the club list. Fish caught in the estuary must be at least 500g to be eligible and off-shore must be at least 1kg. Meritorious species not listed in the heaviest fish categories may be awarded at the discretion of the Committee. Other awards are also presented as follows.
Each club member is required to purchase a Club Shirt at a discounted price and wear it when rostered to sell raffle tickets and at the monthly weigh in.
The committee accepts no liability for any injury, loss or damage to any person in the course of any club activity whether such injury or loss is due to or is alleged to be due to any act, neglect or default of any official or agent. All competitors fully understand that in participating they do so at their own risk.
Look forward to the next TAKFD in 2025
