SYDNEY’S Fishing Station has confirmed an outstanding line-up of Australia’s best female anglers who will share their stories, experience and passion for fishing:
- Karen Wright – MC for the evening and avid game fishing angler.
- Jo Starling – World-record holder, Australian representative and founder of the Women’s Recreational Fishing League.

The evening is about bringing our community together and encouraging more women and girls to participate in recreational fishing. By connecting newcomers with experienced female anglers, Fishing Station says it hopes to help overcome barriers such as a lack of confidence, knowledge or connections, and show how accessible and rewarding fishing can be.
It’s also an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women in the sport and build a welcoming community where people can learn, ask questions and feel supported. Everyone is welcome, including friends, family members and partners.
Your presence would help recognise these women’s contributions and support our efforts to grow female participation in fishing across the Northern Beaches and beyond.
Date: Thursday 15 October
Venue: Fishing Station, 50 Darley St, Mona Vale
