Records And Awards

The club has it’s own record chart dating back nearly 30 years. This record chart formed the basis for the recently developed Queensland Record Chart Certificates are issued for club record captures. To claim a Club Record you only need to fill in a Notification of Capture form (sheets of these are available at each meeting on the table out the front) and hand it to the Recorder within 30 days from the date of capture. You must use pretested line to claim a club record but a line sample does not need to be submitted. No photo is necessary either. There is no fee for claiming a club record. The club record chart is published each year with the Annual Report.

To claim State or National Records you need to fill in the claim forms (available at each meeting on the table out the front) attach the photos and line samples etc and hand these to the recorder along with the prescribed fee ($15 each for both state and national claims). Remember that if you have a national claim it is most probably also both a state and club record so make sure you fill in all 3 forms. When claiming state or national records always make sure that you fill in a Notification of Capture form for the club. This is to make sure that the fish is included in the captures list for the Annual Trophies and is included in your captures towards the various Masters Awards (see both state and national handbooks).

The club Recorder keeps records of member’s captures for Masters claims for both state and national awards and the captures are published in the newsletter each month. Masters attained and progressive captures towards the various Masters awards are published with the Annual Report. It is strongly recommended that members keep a record of the claims they have submitted and check their own progress towards Masters etc.
