Join a Sub Club…
The RSL Fishing Club has been in existence for over 50 years. It has been proud to provide a recreational service to the members of the RSL Redlands and beyond. It is good to see that current club anglers include the children and grandchildren of past members.
MEMBERS
Although there is a number of club competitions, the Club has a family focus and looks for opportunities to encourage juniors. There will always be a mix of younger anglers as well as crusty old salts who are expert fishers and are happy to mentor the younger or less experienced anglers.
We welcome active members who will participate in the fishing and social events and will assist with fundraising, working bees, etc. Anglers wishing to join the club must also be members of the Redlands RSL.
FISHING COMPETITIONS
The club now has two Fishing comps, one midweek which competes twice monthly from Tuesday’s to Thursday’s and our new Monthly Photo comp running form the 1st of the month to end of month from January to November with varying species to the midweek comp.
Our fishing boundaries are restricted to smooth and partially smooth waters between Noosa River and the Tweed River. The western boundary is 150km from coast.
The Club may also host “Beach” and “Freshwater” trips separate from the scheduled fishing calendar.
HUTS
The “Huts” is a facility on North Stradbroke Island which provides a base for fishing and crabbing as well as overnight accommodation for members. Apart from comfortable sleeping quarters, the “Huts” are equipped with a full-service kitchen, amenities block with a hot shower and eco-friendly toilet.
This facility is well used by our members and is a great place to relax and unwind.
MEETINGS
General Meetings are held on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 6.30pm in the Redlands RSL Meeting Room. Existing members should attend in order to keep abreast of club issues and prospective members are welcome as observers.
New members are always welcome.

The Redlands RSL Golf Club has approximately 80 members and usually 45-50 people attend when we meet every Friday for 9 holes of golf playing at Howeston Golf Course, Birkdale. Our fixture list runs from February to the end of November each year. New members are always welcome and are required to submit three cards to obtain their handicap which will determine the grade they will play in, either A, B or C.
We also play against Wynnum RSL Golf Club for the Veteran Shield which in 2025 will be played over 2 games mid-year.
There are various competitions throughout the year: Matchplay, Grade Championships and a couple of special trophy days, and we have 3 bus trips away playing 18 hole games at various courses around Brisbane.
There is also a social side to the club with a chance for members and their partners to get together for some fun and relaxation in mid-July. These usually occur at the Redlands RSL Gallipoli Room. The year ends with our Annual Dinner in November when all the trophies are presented to the winning members.
The Annual General Meeting is held every January when the committee members are voted in for the year.
To be eligible to join the Golf Club you need to be a financial member of the Redlands RSL. Application forms are available at the Club’s reception and the cost of annual membership is $15.00 and shirts are $15.00.
