Recreational fishers have the opportunity to explore regional Victoria and land a tagged fish worth up to $10,000 as part of the Golden Tag competition which aims to boost tourism across the state.
The competition has hit several key milestones, with over $444,000 awarded to 162 winners since the competition kicked off.
The state wide fishing competition is now ongoing.
The Victorian Fisheries Authority started the Golden Tag competition in February 2020, successfully encouraging visitation to Gippsland and the state’s north-east as communities recovered from bushfires. It was later expanded state-wide to support regional businesses following Victoria’s lockdown restrictions.
Further information about the competition can be found on the Victorian Fisheries Authority website.
