The club

About the club

A Townsville fishing club, based at The Fairfield.

Who we are

The Fairfield Fishing Club is a group of Townsville locals who like to fish. Many people know us by our old name, the Oonoonba Fishing Club.

Our home is The Fairfield, the pub that older locals still call the Oonoonba.

What this site is for

We built it to show off local fishing: the species we chase, reports from club days, and the photos and videos our members bring back. Have a look at the local species guide to start.

Come and say g'day

Fish for the future

We want there to be fish here for the next lot of anglers. Know the size and possession limits, respect the closed seasons, handle fish with care and take your rubbish home.
