The competition opens with registrations from 5.30am on Australia Day, Friday at the Kianinny Bay boat ramp and concludes with weigh-in cut off at 1pm on Saturday at the TAFC’s Kianinny Bay clubhouse.
Presentations and a free barbecue for all entrants will wrap up the fun.
Open entries are $10 per person, while the junior category for under 15s is free.
Juniors may also compete in the open division with a $5 entry fee.
Competitors will only be able to enter one of each target species (in one category – you can’t enter the same fish as a junior and open entry).
The entries must be nominated prior to weighing and there is a 60cm limit for dusky flathead.
The club encourages sustainable fishing practices and said bigger flatheads should be returned to keep growing stocks.
The club also said all current NSW fisheries catch restrictions in force.
Anglers are welcome to fish from the beach and boats are welcome, but the club limits boat launches to those from Kianinny Bay, Bega River, Wallagoot Lake and Nelsons River.
The geographic area for fishing is unrestricted.
Organisers said there would be a number of target species on offer with cash prizes up for grabs.
