🎣What a reel-y great day!

Western Downs Carp Busters brought together families, kids and future fishing professionals for a day of learning and fun – a valuable opportunity to connect, learn and inspire the next generation of responsible fishers.

Chantelle from the Sunwater team spent the day with local families and budding fishing legends. Before the prize giving, the kids jumped into two fun education sessions all about keeping our waterways healthy, safe and thriving.

What they learned:
✅ Size limits for yellow belly & dew fish
🚫 Red claw = pest species (don’t throw it back!)
🪤 No more than 4 yabby traps per person
🎣 Up to 6 rods each (within 50 m)
⚠️ Carp must be humanely dispatched & buried

Three weeks to go! 🕔
