“We all had an educational experience that was relevant and very enjoyable.  I think Recfishwest is a fantastic organisation and have mentioned yourselves to all my colleagues and friends.”

-Daele Thomas
Lockridge Primary School

“I thought that it was a valuable experience for kids in Mandurah to do something in their area.  For some it was a new experience to fish and for others it was a new experience to do something with a group of people that they did not know.  This event provided a good opportunity to mix with other kids in the community, enjoy a simple challenge and have access to knowledge and equipment they may not have otherwise.  From what I could see the participants had a fantastic time.”

-Sarah de Bueger
Mandurah Community Museum, Education Officer

“The Shire of Ashburton’s Onslow Youth Outreach project and staff would like to extend our appreciation for the fishing clinics provided by Recfishwest in Onslow.  Besides the opportunity to participate in the fishing and boating activities, our participants have been able to learn about a variety of areas relating to fishing, such as fisheries management, knot tying, equipment maintenance, different fishing techniques and various safety aspects.  It is evident that our young people have benefited not only from skills development, but also through social interaction and participation, enhancing their communication skills, confidence and sense of belonging.  Full credit must be given to the Recfishwest instructors who have delivered these clinics to a high and professional standard and without prejudice.”

-Anna Jamieson
Youth and Community Development Officer, Shire of Ashburton

 “We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all the crew who helped, delivered and supported the Summer Holiday Program 2008.  We look forward to working with you in the future and appreciate your ongoing support.”

-Rottnest Island Authority Education Unit

 “Just a quick email to thank your organisation for a wonderful day here in Kununurra.  We had two children attended the clinic and were pleased to see the kids having such a great time.  Your organisation in partnership with SunSmart, FishSmart and East Kimberley Marine should be congratulated, it was a well organised and thought out day.  A big thanks also to JJ Tours, the kids had a blast.”

-The Watt Family

“Best project or initiative encouraging women and young people’s participation in fishing.”

-Senator Eric Abetz
Federal Minister for Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry

“Recfishwest has successfully held community fishing clinics with the Nickol Bay Sports Fishing Club for 6 years.  Annual visits from Recfishwest are important for building stewardship for the fishing club and an avenue for introducing young members of the community to the benefits of fishing.”

-Anthony La Tosa and John (Skip) Riding – Nickol Bay Sports Fishing Club
