Weipa anglers will take the pink party to the waters when the Carpentaria Marine Services Ladies Gamefish Day begins on Saturday 1 November.
Anyone keen to join this year’s Mexican Fiesta team has until 5 pm Friday 24 October to get your nomination in and enjoy a day out on the deep blue with a few frozen margaritas.
Tournament coordinator Fifi Down said it should be another colourful weekend with the fish biting, especially with the addition of a new charity organisation to the roster.
“It’s just a great day out on the water, providing the weather gods play the game,” she said.
“Hope the fish are out there as well — they were in nice and close for the [Weipa Billfish Tournament] a month ago, so that’s always a good thing.
“We’re sponsoring the Glenn McGrath Foundation, as we have done for many years, but we’re also adding Kids with Cancer this year to our portfolio of sponsorship options.”
Teams can showcase their decked-out vessels for the Best Dressed Boat competition at 6:30 am, before fishing starts at 7 am.
The tournament winner will be crowned at the presentation luncheon on Sunday 2 November when raffles and auctions in support of the two charity foundations will take place.
