Local and visiting anglers are invited to cast their lines and capture their best fishing moments with the launch of the Visit Burdekin Fishing Photo Competition. The contest offers participants the chance to win a $100 Burdekin Gift Card and have their photo featured on the cover of the Visit Burdekin Fishing Guide, an essential resource for anglers across the region.
Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort highlighted the Burdekin’s reputation as a prime fishing destination, noting the variety of creek systems, offshore reefs, and fish species that attract both locals and visitors.
“The Visit Burdekin Fishing Guide showcases the region’s best fishing spots, from boat ramps to estuarine and reef locations, making it a must-have for anyone keen to explore our fishing opportunities,” she said.
To enter the competition, anglers need to submit their best fishing photo taken in the Burdekin region, along with their name, phone number, and details about where the fish was caught and the species. Entries should be sent to tourism@burdekin.qld.gov.au.
There’s no limit to the number of submissions, provided all photos are taken within the Burdekin. The competition closes on Sunday, 20 October 2024, so there’s still time to land that perfect catch.
