A film by the Cairns Professional Game Fishing Association
Introducing “On the Edge”, a film brought to you by the Cairns Professional Game Fishing Association (CPGFA) to showcase our historical connection to the Great Barrier Reef together with those men and women who set out over 50 years ago to fish these waters.
With where we were and where the CPGFA has evolved to, conservation and professionalism are forefront. Our code of conduct for all members is shown throughout the film.
Today, the CPGFA has over 40 member vessels representing the very best professional charter fishing operators in the world. On The Edge gives you an insight into their day-to-day operations.
Magnificent vessels, spectacular reef and great big fish. Please enjoy this production and support the CPGFA and its member operators.
