The Swordfish and Tunny Club Membership

​

​First and foremost, we are a game fishing club, here to provide game fishing enthusiasts the opportunity to game fish and be supported by like minded fishers. That's not to say you can't be a member of our Club and catch other sport and table fish, yet we do focus on the pursuit of gamefish and recognise these angling efforts with Awards & Trophies.

 

In addition, as a member, we're not fussed on whether you go game fishing once a year, five times a year of everyday. Our Club has a wide breadth of members who fish a lot and some not so much. We also have many members who now find the time to go game fishing a difficult prospect regarding adventuring out onto the high seas, yet they love to catch up with the friends they've made through the Club at our events and support those new to the sport.

"A membership in the STC is what you wish to make it. We are more of a passive fishing community of anglers who share a social conscience on how fishing is a fair battle between man and fish. We agree that some of the best days game fishing are when you don't catch a fish, but you spend a day on the water, feel the wind in your hair and sun on your back. However, many of us love to tussle, hook the big one, set new benchmarks and fish until we cannot fish any more. We love to game fish."
