Juniors and female anglers challenged the men for category wins and glory despite inclement weather at another successful Boyne Tannum Hookup.
Australia’s biggest family fishing competition saw 3666 fishos from across the nation hit the water, vying for $400,000 worth of cash and prizes from April 30 to May 2.
Boyne Tannum Hookup president Jenifer McGuire said after the 2020 Hookup was held virtually due to COVID, anglers of all ages were keen to enter.
“Hookup started 26 years-ago with Boyne Tannum business owners highlighting that the area needed something to keep people in the region over a long weekend,” she said.

Subscriber only A popular Central Queensland mayor has been headhunted to run for Federal Labor at the next election, in a major signal the party believes it has a fighting chance in the mining regions that abandoned it in 2019. The pick, Gladstone Council Mayor Matt Burnett for the seat of Flynn, could also have implications for the Townsville-based electorate of Herbert owing to a deal between Labor's left and right factions. Cr Burnett, who has served in local government since 2000, has been approached across numerous federal election cycles to run for Labor but is understood to have only acquiesced in recent weeks following discussions with Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese.
