Welcome

Late in 1971 a small group of fisherman who had been active at "The Banks", met in John O'Brien's office to discuss how best to ensure the orderly development of fishing in the area. The result of this meeting was the formation of the Shoalhaven Game Fishing Club with weighing stations at Greenwell Point and Huskisson, Jervis Bay. The name "Shoalhaven" was decided upon so that the new club could try and develop the sport of ethical fishing in the area bounded by Shoalhaven Shire.
