Lake Mac’s first major event since COVID-19 will be taking place in the form of family friendly, catch and release fishing competition this November. There is a big prize pool up for grabs and anglers can fish from the shoreline or from a boat out on the water.

The Competition area encompasses the tidal waters of Lake Macquarie and all public beaches in the Lake Macquarie City Council area.
Catch & Release
In respect of the environment and our waterways, the competition is strictly catch and release. There are four target species of Bream, Flathead, Tailor and Whiting. Captured fish will be photographed on brag mats before being returned to the water. The photographs will used to submit the angler’s entry.
