The Boyne Tannum HookUp Association is looking for a super-keen, young fisherperson to win the fishing trip of a lifetime.
Thanks to Greg and Leonie Klease and Johnny Mitchell’s Fishing Charters, one lucky boy or girl will be heading off on a free guided fishing getaway.
Boyne Tannum HookUp President Jennifer McGuire said the winner and their carer will climb aboard one of Johnny Mitchell’s custom charter boats for a day full of fishing fun.
“The committee at Boyne Tannum HookUp are always keen to spread the word about responsible, sustainable fishing fun and this starts with the kids,” Mrs McGuire said. “Under Johnny’s expert guidance, the winner may be lucky enough to experience the thrill of jagging a Giant Spanish Mackerel or landing a brilliant Barramundi.
“The winner will also be kitted out with their own rod, reel and fishing gear courtesy of one of our generous sponsors, Frogley,” she said. “The committee have been searching high and low to find the ideal candidate who really deserves to win this awesome trip.
“We have been in contact with organisations such as the Make A Wish Foundation, Heart Kids, Variety Queensland and Pillowcases For Oncology Kids,” Mrs McGuire said.
We really want to spread this message far and wide so that every eligible child has the chance to enter.
“If they live in the Gladstone Region, love, love, love fishing and can handle a rough day out on the water, we want to hear their story,” she said.
Whilst the Boyne Tannum HookUp will be held from 29 April to 1 May, the fishing charter booking can be made for any day, subject to availability.
