The Shoalhaven Heads Hotel Fishing Club has been around since 1946. The Fishing Club considers itself to be a family friendly based club, with the goal of getting the whole family to enjoy fishing.
The club is very involved in the Shoalhaven Heads community and we hold fundraisers throughout the year to benefit local charities and organsizations.
Our members have a wealth of knowledge which they are only too happy to share on such topics as:-
Catching worms on the beach
Beach Fishing, Rock Fishing, Deep Sea Fishing, Pier Fishing,
Estuary Fishing, Boat Fishing.
What baits to use, Tackle for different types of fish.
The Club also holds courses during the year for obtaining General Boat &/or PWC Licences, this is for Adults/ Juniors/ members and non members.
The Club also has cook offs, this is where the men of the club get to show their individual cooking skills and levels. This is held three (3) times a year.
We hope in the future to put together a cook book with the focus on Sea Food recipes, each recipe will have the members name connected to it.
We accept memberships from all over the state.

Eight (8) draws consisting of :-
