WELCOME TO THE
King Bay Game
Fishing Club
We are located in the Northwest of Western Australia in a diverse region bursting with game fish and small to mid sized billfish in large numbers.
With the 2020 game fishing season being interrupted with a couple month suspension due to Covid and then not running our major tournament of the year, scores were a little down on previous years. However, the club and its members still experienced some fantastic success.
We had 55 Fish weighed consisting of 15 different species. Of these five were potential IGFA world records, 16 potential GFAA national records and 12 state records.
Members also tagged 108 Billfish and 161 other Gamefish made up of 14 species.
