Female Anglers

Female Anglers are actively encouraged to join the Club and participate in the Monthly Competitions
for both Junior and Senior Anglers and in the Club Social Events.
The Junior program has attracted a high percentage of girls to become involved in recreational
fishing with 50% of the participants being girls.
Ladies were prominent in the 2023 Awards with Lisa Lipross being awarded the RBAA Angling Award
for the most improved and Kim Wright being the 2023 Champion Adult Female Angler.

Let’s Tackle Waste

RBAA in cooperation with the Gympie Regional Council (GRC is helping to reduce marine debris in our region.

The aim of the Let’s Tackle Waste program is to determine the amount & types of rubbish that is been littered on Rainbow Beach.

RBAA members collect litter from the area and record the type & amount of litter, the GRC accumulates important data over time, and the GRC can then tackle rubbish from the source, and together we can make a bigger impact.
