Party: Cockling at Goolwa Beach

Party: Cockling at Goolwa Beach

The CYCSA Fishing Association invites all Club members, families and friends to join them on the beach at Goolwa for cockle collecting and bait restocking after the closed season.

Meet in the Goolwa Beach car park if you need a lift down onto the beach. Otherwise head towards the Murray mouth and we wont be far away - look for the Club flags. If you have a 4x4 and some room, look for other Club members and please offer a lift.

Bring a chair, sun protection and a bucket or soft bag for collecting and an esky to put your catch in.

If you would like further information contact a FA committee member via the Club office.

Please register your interest with Reception 8248 4222

A sausage sizzle BBQ lunch on the beach will be available for all attending.

Don't forget...
