Following the successful hosting of the Hot Current Game Fishing Tournament for the past 15 years, the Coffs Harbour Game Fishing Club with Club Marine Insurance will once again conduct this event on 13th to 17th November 2009.

Each year the event attracts a great number of anglers and is a highly regarded event on the Tournament circuit.  We were very pleased and proud that the tournament attracted 51 boats and 212 anglers for the 2008 tourney.  This is close to being a record for the tournament.  There were boats from Victoria, Queensland and basically from everywhere in between.  It was a big effort from anglers to support our tournament with fuel prices and the current economy.

The weather conditions for the tournament were very ordinary with only one day fished due to sea conditions, but this is the first time on record.  The Tournament Director and Committee considered the  safety of all vessels, no matter what size, to be paramount in the circumstances.  Unfortunately there was more money spent on beer than fuel.   But all in all, most people said they enjoyed themselves and they’d be back in 2009.

The 2009 Club Marine Insurance tournament will again offer over $40,000 in cash and prizes thanks to our great sponsors.  There will be eight categories along with  runners-up for boat prizes in each Line Class Tag & Release and Capture Sections, plus one category for T & R Most Marlin Boat up for grabs.

The committee has once again improved the tournament and facilities offered, for both competitors and sponsors alike.
