Listed Below are the best Australian Fishing Competitions, Tournaments, Festivals, Fishing Carnivals, Fishing Classic, Events and Locations.
Fishing competitions and festivals are held all around Australia for every possible species and range of anglers. Some have prices for the longest and heaviest fish caught, other have prices for bags of fish, and some use mystery weights or tagged fish. This is a great activity for the whole family and there is a competition on most weekends in all regional areas for all sorts of species, habitats and environments including shore and boat fishing. Authorities are promoting better practices for fishing competitions and encouraging the release of most fish caught. Most events promote fishing methods and fish handling methods that ensure the survival and good condition of the released fish.
Most fish caught in fishing events will be undersized and will not be price-winning catches. Most fish caught must be released due to minimum legal length regulations and most modern competitions now designed as catch and release events.
It is therefore responsible to ensure the fish released have a very good chance of survival. The use of appropriate fishing tackle and fishing methods will help to maintain fish stocks for all fishers to enjoy.
