The NGSFC Redfin & Crab Round-Up is back, and this year we're trying something a little different with the Redfin Perch competition. We're excited to introduce a new format and can't wait to see how it unfolds. Designed to kick off another great fishing season, this event is all about bringing members, families, and newcomers together for a relaxed and enjoyable weekend on the water. Whether you're chasing Redfin Perch, dropping nets for crabs, or simply looking to enjoy the outdoors, there's something for everyone.

Redfin Perch Competition

The Redfin Perch competition is open to anglers of all ages and will feature the following categories: Heaviest Redfin Perch Senior – 1st & 2nd Junior – 1st & 2nd Sub-Junior – 1st & 2nd Additional Prize Categories Most Fish by Weight Mystery Weight Prize A key feature of this year's event is that there are no competition boundaries for the Redfin Perch competition. Competitors are free to fish any legal freshwater location of their choice, giving everyone the opportunity to fish their favourite Redfin Perch waters. All competitors must comply with the current DPIRD recreational fishing regulations when targeting Redfin Perch. As Redfin Perch are a declared pest species in Western Australia, they must not be returned to the water once caught. Competitors are encouraged to humanely euthanise and dispose of all Redfin Perch captured in accordance with DPIRD recommendations. For more information on current recreational fishing rules and pest fish management, please visit the DPIRD website.

Crab Competition

The crab competition will feature a Heaviest Bag of 5 Crabs category. The final competition structure is still to be confirmed and may either be split into Senior, Junior and Sub-Junior divisions or run as a single Open Category. Additional proposed prize categories include: Longest Span Crab (Open) Mystery Weight (Open) All crabbing activities must be conducted within the club's standard competition boundaries and in accordance with current DPIRD recreational fishing regulations.
