Check out our video from the day which includes the junior anglers weigh in and their thoughts on the day (you wont want to miss the size of the bream they brought in!).

09.01.2022 Thanks Australia - Gone Fishing Day 2019 was great! We loved seeing the photos sent through from all over Australia of everyone celebrating our number one pastime. There were plenty of awesome events organised by fishing clubs and groups with great support by State Governments and many took the opportunity to focus on pest fish and clean up our waterways.... Our favourite part was seeing all the kids out there having a go and sharing the day with parents, grandparents and friends. How many activities out there where neither age, nor ability limits you being out with the people you care about creating great memories? Recreational fishing is awesome. Happy Gone Fishing Day Australia, you celebrated well. We will announce the date for #GFD20 soon.
