MEMBERS FISHING COSTS
Current Annual membership is $250 with a $30 nomination fee payable once with continuous annual membership. The Annual Membership includes one offshore demersal trip to be taken during the financial year on a use it or lose it basis.
Members pay $130.00 for a deep water (30 to 60metres) targeting Demersal species and $70.00 for inshore trips mainly targeting sand whiting and skippy. The inshore trips are usually carried out during the demersal closure from 15th October to 15th December each year. Trip fees are paid on the day. Trip fees are set at the Annual General Meeting in July and are determined by the operating cost of the boat.

SKIPPERS ARE FREE
Skippers are in charge of all aspects of the vessel. They do not pay for trips when they are the skipper. Members willing to nominate as a skipper must have a Recreational Skippers Ticket and be prepared to learn how to operate a 10m vessel before they will be appointed.
