It starts on Friday at 3:30pm and ends on Sunday at 4:30pm. During this time, any allowable species caught can be weighed in and registered at the club's weigh-in station.
The weighmaster, Neil Scrimshaw, operates the weigh-in station at his shop, Evans Head Sports & Marine. Members can contact Neil for any additional information they may require.
The winner of the monthly fishing outing is awarded a Certificate and given the opportunity to choose from a selection of fishing tackle. The club also has a highly competitive Catch & Release category. Each species caught can be counted in this category, as well as for ANSA Catch & Release Masters Claims.

00. Families, including parents or single parents and any number of Juniors and SubJuniors, can join for $30. 00.
The Evans Head Amateur SportFishing Club is family-oriented and caters to members of all ages. There is even a division for those members who do not weigh in a legal species during the year.
