17.01.2022 Fishing royalty, Steve 'Starlo' Starling has been a familiar face to Aussie anglers for more than four decades, he knows more than most and his Thinking Fish talk takes you through what’s it’s been like chasing Murray Cod & Golden Perch over his lifetime. Take a watch.

11.01.2022 Today our OzFish family took a moment to reflect, celebrate and appreciate the comfort and joy that recreational fishing gifts us as individuals, families and communities. So during this time of uncertainty, our wonderful volunteers, members, chapters, employees, partners and supporters - decided to share a collective message of hope that the sport we champion and treasure has the capacity to offer a much-needed panacea. So #GoOzFishinAustralia... We’ve been told to avoid the crowdsso grab a rod, disconnect your devices, get outside and go fishing. Learn a new skill, dust off the rod and take up the challenge. #OzFishUnlimited BCF - Boating, Camping, Fishing #StarloFishing #getoutside #baitup #GoOzFishinAustralia #fishingsolo

09.01.2022 Happy Easter Everyone it might not be the same this year. But, wherever you are enjoy your day

07.01.2022 Our native fish sometimes need a little help. It's wonderful to see one of our own OzFish Chapter getting loud and proud - saving millions of fish in the process. Check it out.

06.01.2022 Fact: Fishing requires alot of focus and awareness. This takes your mind off internal conflict and stress, similar to meditation. As a result, it helps to reduce anxiety, fight off depression, and promote relaxation. Studies have shown that fishing lowers your cortisol levels (otherwise known as the stress hormone). #ruokeveryday #fishinglife #grabyourmateandgofishing #herefishyfishyfishy
