Never been fishing? Don’t know where to start? We’ve got the App and book for you!
Our FREE app supports our responsible fishing education program and reduces the barriers to getting involved in fishing in Victoria. No matter where you are, our app will tell you your nearest safe fishing spot, what gear & bait you need, as well as video tutorials & quizzes on how to cast & tie knots & rigs to learn the basics of fishing.
