FAMILY CAMPING
The Horsham Fishing Competition is a family friendly event which encompasses the experience of camping. Family and friends who wish to fish together in a quiet and relaxed environment can fish in an allocated area along the river reserved for this specific purpose.
All Angling clubs that enter early will be allocated camping and fishing areas. Please note that camping is free in all allocated areas along the riverfront.
CARP / TENCH CASH JACKPOT
All competitors are automatically entered in the $500.00 Carp Cash Jackpot. Prior to the start of the competition, the tournament referee will select a mystery weight to win the $500.00 cash jackpot. If there are no carp matches the mystery weight, the carp to the nearest weight wins the $500.00 cash jackpot.
Come along and share the joy of fishing and hope to catch the biggest fish. All fish are collected by stewards promptly and are kept in damp bags in cool conditions. Upon arrival at the weigh in point the fish are quickly measured, sexed and weighted and then placed into aerated holding tanks. All native fish are return to the water.
