Our Story
Established in 2020 amidst the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pole Position emerged as a beacon of connection and camaraderie, born from the shared desire to reunite family and friends through the love of fishing.
​
In a time marked by uncertainty and isolation, a small group of passionate anglers came together with a vision: to create a haven where people could bond, unwind, and forge lasting memories amidst the tranquillity of fishing.
What started as a simple idea blossomed into a thriving community-driven club, drawing in enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds. From its inception, Pole Position has seen a remarkable growth in membership year after year. The magnetic pull of our inclusive atmosphere, coupled with a genuine passion for angling, has seen our family expand steadily. New members join our ranks each season, bringing fresh perspectives, diverse experiences, and an eagerness to contribute to our shared love for fishing.
​
In remembrance of one of our founding members, Curly O'Callaghan, who played an instrumental role in shaping our club's ethos and spirit. Curly's unwavering passion for fishing and dedication to nurturing a sense of camaraderie within our community will forever remain a cornerstone of Pole Positions identity. His legacy lives on in every cast, every shared tale, and every bond forged on these waters.
​
As we continue to evolve, Pole Position envisions a future beyond being just a fishing club. We are transitioning into a match fishing facilitator, aiming to provide a platform for anglers to engage in competitive yet friendly tournaments, fostering sportsmanship and skill enhancement among participants.
​
Our big goal on the horizon is the establishment of a non-profit Pole Position Fishery. This envisioned fishery will serve as a community hub, a sanctuary for all anglers to revel in their shared passion. More than just a fishing spot, it will be a space designed to promote environmental conservation, education, and inclusivity within the angling community.
​
The Pole Position Fishery will stand as a testament to our commitment to not only enhance the angling experience but also to give back to the community by providing a serene haven for anglers of all levels. It will embody our values of sustainability, community engagement, and the preservation of our natural resources.
As we march forward, Pole Position remains dedicated to fostering meaningful connections, promoting angling as a unifying force, and creating opportunities for all to experience the joy and serenity found in fishing.
