Fishing is a popular activity in Australia, particularly amongst the male population. It is a time for fun, relaxation and a prime excuse for a boy's weekend away. Fishing is also a popular activity for family holidays and offers fun for the whole family irrespective of age.
There are many popular fishing styles in Australia including estuary fishing, fresh water fishing, reef fishing, fly fishing and more. Each fishing style's success is dependent on the conditions, environment and equipment used so pick the style based on your location, conditions and resources.
Each style offers a unique fishing experience for everyone to enjoy. While fishing can be a great, fun activity for people both young and old it is important to consider the fishing restrictions and/or licencing requirements in the area. These restrictions are in place to preserve our marine life and ensure everyone gets to enjoy recreational fishing.
