Welcome to Let's Fish Lake Mac, Lake Macquarie’s own fishing competition.
There’s great prizes on offer for the biggest fish caught (and released) for both kids and grown-ups. And there’s prize packs for fish closest to the mystery length.
And this year we’ve added four $25,000 tagged fish, swimming around the lake, with each!
Plus, all entries go in the draw to win in our Prize Draw. You don’t even have to catch a fish to win!
Let's Fish Lake Mac is on on the weekend of Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 November 2024.
You choose when on that weekend you, your mates or the family can get together to fish. We even have accessible fishing locations and charters.
Check out the videos on Lake Mac Fishing Tips for tips on catching a big one on Lake Macquarie.
Let's Fish Lake Mac is held right across beautiful Lake Macquarie. You can fish from the shore or from your boat. Check our Where Can I Fish page for more info.
