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.
