Welcome to Pirtek Fishing Challenge
 |
|
| The competition has now started, and finishes at 6:00pm. | If your cap and brag mat did not arrive in time, do not panic. |
| Your Angler Number has been emailed to you, and you should receive it by 7:00pm (AEST) Saturday, 10th April 2010. If you cannot access your email, or you have not received the email, click the ‘Click Here’ button (above). Just type your name and email address, click ‘Lookup My Details’, and your Angler Number will appear. | You can still enter the competition by writing your angler number on a piece of cardboard in black pen and using a Fisheries style measuring sticker (which are readily available at your local tackle store) to measure your fish. |
| If you’re not near a computer, ask a friend to obtain the Angler Number for you. | Simply photograph and follow the same process as you would with the Pirtek brag mat. |
Hi! It’s Michael Guest here. Welcome to the Pirtek Fishing Challenge.
Once again, Pirtek are hosting Australia’s biggest national fishing competition. It is open to everyone – mums, dads, kids and grandparents!
Each year in Australia, close to 3,300 men die of prostate cancer and around 20,000 new cases are diagnosed in Australia every year. This is why Pirtek have partnered with the Prostate Cancer Foundation to increase awareness of prostate cancer in the community and also raise much needed funds.
How does a 5 night winter getaway to Hotham Alpine Resort sound? Or a 50” HD Plasma TV and home theatre system? Great right! Well thanks to our mates at Nissan and LG, we have a fabulous major prize draw and everyone can be a winner just by entering!
To further bolster participation and community spirit JVC will be hosting the JVC Club Challenge. The fishing club which registers the most entries in its State will win a JVC camcorder. We have eight to give away.
Every State and Territory will win “BIG CASH” and terrific prizes. Pirtek together with Berkley, Lowrance and Evinrude have amassed a massive prize pool in excess of $110,000.00.
Once again it is a one day competition to be held on Sunday, 11 April, 2010 between the hours of 6.00 am and 6.00 pm. The name of your State’s target species will be revealed on Saturday, 10 April, 2010 via the website.
Take a look at the video presentations and documentation on this website for full instructions on photographing your fish and catch and release techniques.
Remember the idea is to grab the family or a couple of mates for the day, have a great time fishing and raise a few dollars for the Prostate Cancer Foundation – and hopefully some big bucks for yourself!
Fight a fish to fight prostate cancer.

“We are excited to be hosting the second Pirtek Fishing Challenge and again supporting the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. 2010 is a landmark year for Pirtek celebrating 30 years since the company began.
Together with our associate sponsors we are working towards increasing awareness and raising funds to fight prostate cancer, the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men. We look forward to your participation in this great event – let’s fight a fish to fight prostate cancer.”
