NGSFC Redfin & Crab Round-Up
Proudly sponsored by Razor Edge Lures

The NGSFC Redfin & Crab Round-Up is back, and this year we're trying something a little different with the Redfin Perch competition. We're excited to introduce a new format and can't wait to see how it unfolds.

Designed to kick off another great fishing season, this event is all about bringing members, families, and newcomers together for a relaxed and enjoyable weekend on the water. Whether you're chasing Redfin Perch, dropping nets for crabs, or simply looking to enjoy the outdoors, there's something for everyone.

Redfin Perch Competition

The Redfin Perch competition is open to anglers of all ages and will feature the following categories:

Heaviest Redfin Perch
Senior – 1st & 2nd
Junior – 1st & 2nd
Sub-Junior – 1st & 2nd
Additional Prize Categories
Most Fish by Weight
Mystery Weight Prize

A key feature of this year's event is that there are no competition boundaries for the Redfin Perch competition. Competitors are free to fish any legal freshwater location of their choice, giving everyone the opportunity to fish their favourite Redfin Perch waters.

All competitors must comply with the current DPIRD recreational fishing regulations when targeting Redfin Perch.

As Redfin Perch are a declared pest species in Western Australia, they must not be returned to the water once caught. Competitors are encouraged to humanely euthanise and dispose of all Redfin Perch captured in accordance with DPIRD recommendations.

For more information on current recreational fishing rules and pest fish management, please visit the DPIRD website.

Crab Competition

The crab competition will feature a Heaviest Bag of 5 Crabs category. The final competition structure is still to be confirmed and may either be split into Senior, Junior and Sub-Junior divisions or run as a single Open Category.

Additional proposed prize categories include:

Longest Span Crab (Open)
Mystery Weight (Open)

All crabbing activities must be conducted within the club's standard competition boundaries and in accordance with current DPIRD recreational fishing regulations.

Prizes

Thanks to the generous support of Razor Edge Lures, competitors will be in the running for a fantastic range of prizes, including:

Freshwater fishing rod combos
Tackle bags
Tackle storage and organisation gear
Soft plastics
Fishing accessories
And much more!

All 8 Redfin categories receive a prize voucher of 1 tub of Hooked On Western Worms! These can be picked up from Whitey's Tackle & Camping
