About

2023 Stress Less Fishing Classic

Since its inception in 2014, the Nangiloc Fishing Club and fishing competition have promoted safe and sustainable fishing practices in the community. The inaugural Stress Less Fishing Classic competitions have raised thousands of dollars. These funds have gone straight into supporting the local Nangiloc and surrounding communities to maintain and develop community projects within the region.

The Nangiloc Fishing Club committee has decided that we are donating all raised funding from the 2023 fishing contest to Breast Cancer awareness.

Correctly photographing your fish is critical so here are a few simple rules to follow:

1. Keep the fish in the water for as long as possible.

2. Use fish friendly handling techniques and gear types (i.e. do not lift the fish by the head, support the body at all times).

3. Wet the brag mat (or surface) before you measure the fish.

4. Lay the live fish with the nose in line with the “0” measurement on the brag mat.

Photograph the fish so the entire length can be seen in the photograph along with your angler I.D which is clearly identified on the brag mat.

  1. Please check the photograph and make sure all numbers are visible so the length of the fish can be determined (the sunlight can sometimes play cruel tricks on you).

  2. If you are not happy with the photograph, simply take another one.

  3. Quickly release the fish and try to catch a bigger one.

  4. Any photograph that shows a dead or damaged fish or the length is not clearly defined will be rejected.

Rules and Regulations:

  • Mystery length will only be of fish deemed ‘legal’ by NSW Fisheries regulations; Murray cod (55 – 75 cm) and Golden perch (30 cm and over)

  • All species caught must comply with the NSW Fisheries regulations

  • Fish must be caught between allocated times and allocated boundaries

  • All competitors must hold a current NSW fishing licence

  • We are promoting a healthy future for the fish so catch and release only (with the exception of carp)

  • No fishing outside designated areas

  • Any competitor suspected of illegal fishing methods will be reported directly to NSW Fisheries

  • Boats with illegal equipment or illegal bait will be disqualified and reported to NSW Fisheries
