For the Rainbow Beach Family Fishing Classic, the inclusion of families is an important aspect of the event to both organisers, participants and guests.
With this added focus of families, they have dedicated days separately for both kids and youths.
Rainbow Beach Sports Club who provide the venue, facilities and staff for the event, believe that young people are the future of the fishing industry and that fishing together is a strong bonding experience.
And with this act of bringing people together, can bring family and friends away from the stresses of work, school and devices.
Although every day is open to all competitors to weigh-in their fish and compete, they still keep these special days to focus on groups within the community such as the kids and young adults to support them and foster further community connection.
On these special days, there are considerably more prizes for kids and youth with the goal of letting them know it’s their day.
Juniors or Kids from three to nine years old can only weigh in fish in the beach categories of bream, flathead, dart, whiting, taylor.
Youth from 10 years old to 15 years old can weigh in fish in the five beach categories as well as the reef categories, like snapper, Red Emperor and Pearl Perch, but not in the big fish or mulloway.
Monday 9 June will be the kids’ day while Thursday 12 June is the youth day.
