Tag & Release Awards

The EGFC is proactive in the preservation and conservation of billfish and the club’s tag and release program is testament to the fact.

​The Exmouth Game Fishing Club has won the John O’Brien GFAA trophy three times in the last five years, which is awarded to the highest tag & release point-scoring GFAA club. The point scoring below reflects this and shows how such a remote location compares with highly populated areas of the East Coast.
