Welcome to the 2025 Pirtek Fishing Challenge.
This is the 17th year Pirtek has hosted Australia’s biggest national fishing competition, and this year we’re offering our biggest prizes ever – more than $336,000 across our ‘Catch and Release’ competition, the On The Water prize draw and the ‘My Day Out’ social media competition.
It’s open to everyone – mums, dads, kids and grandparents!
Registration is $30, plus postage. Everyone who registers receives a limited edition Pirtek Fishing Challenge cap, brag mat and sticker.
Plus, each Junior who enters receives a pack of Berkley lures, RRP $9.95.
There are target species in each state and territory of Australia, plus the Murray Darling Basin, East Coast Freshwater, Mountain Trout and Open categories.
For the longest fish in each species, there are prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the senior section, and 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the junior section.
Plus cash prizes of $2000 and $1600 for the two catches closest to the ‘Mystery Length’, in all 25 senior categories.
Even if you don’t catch the biggest fish, (or any fish at all), just by entering you’re in the draw to win one of our ‘On The Water’ prizes.

Remember the idea is to grab the family or a couple of mates for the day, have a great time fishing and raise dollars for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and the Peter Duncan Neurosciences Research Unit at St Vincent’s Hospital. And hopefully some big prizes for yourself!
