The competition will run from April 15 to 18 with people from all around the Mid North Coast expected to try their luck.
After the horrific bush-fires throughout the area in late 2019, the club has been a recipient of grant money from Healthy North Coast Limited.

That money is part of the community grants program towards local bush-fire recovery and will assist in the logistics of the competition.
Newman Hollis has entered into his first year as President of the club after five years as a member and hopes to see plenty of faces visiting the area.

"We're trying to bring people to Bellbrook and show everyone what the town is about," he told the Argus.
"The grant money has been used to try and boost tourism into the area and introduce or re-introduce people to the river.
"We'll be advertising all across the Mid North Coast."
The total prize pool of the competition will equate to $6000 with an entry fee of $50 which includes club membership.
