About Us

The King Bay Game Fishing Club is one of Western Australia’s oldest and most active game fishing communities. Founded in the late 1960s, our club has grown from a small group of passionate locals into a vibrant organisation that supports anglers from across the Pilbara and beyond.

We’re proud of our strong family culture, our commitment to ethical fishing practices, and the unforgettable experiences our region provides. With world-class game fishing just minutes from the Dampier harbour, we’re dedicated to helping anglers of every skill level enjoy safe, responsible, and exhilarating time on the water.

 

Our Mission

  • Promote sustainable and responsible game fishing through recognised WAGFA, GFAA and IGFA standards

  • Encourage youth participation and provide opportunities for junior and small-fry anglers

  • Deliver high-quality competitions and community events

  • Foster a respectful, supportive, and family-friendly club environment

  • Celebrate the world-class fishing opportunities of the Dampier Archipelago

Our History

From humble beginnings on the Pilbara coastline, the King Bay Game Fishing Club has grown alongside the Dampier community for more than five decades. What started as a group of enthusiastic anglers has evolved into a respected club known for its sportsmanship, conservation values, and long-running tournaments such as the Dampier Classic.

Today, we continue to honour those traditions while embracing new generations of anglers who share our passion for the ocean and the thrill of the chase.
