Get ready to cast your line!
Mark your calendars - Logan’s annual Pest Fishing Cup is back on Sunday 23 November at JJ Smith Park!
Bring your family or friends and enjoy a day by the water. This community competition targets pest fish, like carp and tilapia, which disrupt our waterways and threaten native species.
By baiting your hooks, you'll help to improve the health of Logan’s freshwater ecosystems. Plus, you’ll also have the chance to release native fish back into the waterways - thanks to the Logan & Albert Fish Management Association.
Great prizes are up for grab - whether you catch a fish or not! So, dust off your rods and enjoy a day outdoors for a great cause.
