Episode Details

Inland anglers, not coastal ones, built a legendary saltwater fishing club in Canberra—founded in 1963 by public servants and a WWII, Korea, and Vietnam vet. From humble beginnings with just eight members, this club evolved into a diverse community of tradespeople, farmers, and families, all united by their passion for chasing marlin and other big game fish hundreds of kilometers from the sea. With a special port deal in Bermagui, decades of tournaments, thousands of fish released, and multiple world and national records, they’ve made waves far beyond their landlocked home. Thanks to a historian’s tireless work, their rich legacy—captured in newsletters and a book called “Lines In The Water”—is now preserved for future generations.
