WELCOME TO Gordons Bay BOAT ANGLING CLUB

Years

The first outing as a club took place on Saturday 17 November 1968 together with the Cape Boat & Ski-Boat Club. Launching was supposed to take place at 04:30 from Gordon’s Bay Harbour but due to a strong South Easter the boats held back. However, at 05:30 the wind slacked off and with high spirits the anglers set off.

Gordon’s Bay Boat Angling Club took part in their first competition against Peninsula Ski Boat Club on 23 November 1968. 7th December 1968 saw the club hold their first annual Christmas Dinner Dance which was attended by seventy two members and friends. Sunday 2nd February 1969 the club was invited by the Cape Boat & Ski-Boat Club to fish off Cape Point.

At the first Annual General Meeting it was decided to donate two Walkie Talkies to the National Sea Rescue Institute (N.S.R.I) due to their lack of communications on the water. Today GBBAC remains a stern supporter of the NSRI, in particular the Gordons Bay station (Station 9) Gordons Bay Boat Angling Club today takes part in all Western Province Deep Sea Angling leagues and also hosts an annual Offshore Classic and Inshore Classic tournament.

This is apart from various social club angling competitions and other events. Over the years the GBBAC has gone from strength to strength and today boasts a beautiful clubhouse in Harbour Island with ample facilities and a membership of 160.
