AUSTRALIA’S BIGGEST NATIONAL FISHING CHALLENGE

South Australians are being encouraged to prepare their fishing gear for the 2024 PIRTEK Fishing Challenge. The challenge is an on-line national fishing competition open to all ages and experience levels. All competitors receive a limited-edition cap, brag mat and sticker, with junior competitors receiving a bonus packet of Berkley soft plastics.

Next year’s Challenge will be a two-day event taking place on Saturday and Sunday April 20 and 21. Competitors will have both fresh and saltwater fish on their target list. They will need to photograph their catch on the brag mat with their angler number and codeword clearly visible, then upload the photos to the website for judging.

The Challenge is a major initiative assisting to raise funds and awareness for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA). More than 19,500 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in Australia every year.
