A Proud History In the late 1950’s a friendly competition between Sydney, Newcastle and Port Stephens Game Fishing Clubs began, forming the tournament. The popularity kept increasing and in 1963 the invitation was extended to all NSW Game Fishing Association Clubs. The event continues to grow from strength to strength with its inclusive and fun atmosphere.
