Richmond River – Gone Fishing Day

SUN 18 Oct, 9am-12pm Mobbs Bay

Sunday, October 18 is Gone Fishing Day, and to celebrate we’re inviting all Richmond Chapter members for a morning out on the River Repair Boat to wet a line a share in some good company.

Gone Fishing Day is a day to get out on the water, and reconnect with nature, your mates, and the waterways we all fight to improve.

You’ll have a chance to fish off the boat as well as along the shore at Mobbs Bay, and we’ll also take you to check out our oyster reef restoration sites along the Richmond River as well.

Morning tea will be provided, so come along, cast a few lines and enjoy the chance to catch up with fellow chapter members.

What to bring

Closed-toe shoes that may get wet.
Hat, sunscreen and sunglasses
Drink bottle and snacks.
BYO your favourite lures and fishing gear (some bait will be provided)

Registration is essential. Hope to see you there!
