2022 Fishing Challenge
Australia’s Biggest National Fishing Challenge Saturday and Sunday April 23 and 24 This year, the Challenge is offering a record $280,000 in CASH AND PRIZES
Australians across all states and territories are being encouraged to prepare their fishing gear for the 2022 PIRTEK Fishing Challenge. The challenge is an online national fishing competition open to all ages and experience levels. All competitors receive a limited-edition cap, brag mat and sticker with junior competitors receiving a bonus packet of Berkley soft plastics.
This year’s challenge will be a two-day event taking place on Saturday and Sunday April 23 and 24.
Competitors will fish for their favourite species, photograph their catch on the brag mat with their angler number and codeword clearly visible; then upload the photos to the website for judging.
The Challenge is a major fundraising initiative assisting to raise funds and awareness for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA). More than 19,500 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in Australia every year.
PIRTEK has been partners with PCFA since 2009 to help raise vital funds for prostate cancer research, awareness initiatives and support programs by hosting Australia’s biggest single day fishing competition.
The challenge is also a major fundraising partner for the Peter Duncan Neurosciences Research Unit, which has recently been lauded as the number one Neuroscience Research facility in Australia.
The focus of the Unit is to study adult stem cells and their role in causing and exacerbating neurological diseases. The goal is to find and apply new neuroscience techniques for patients suffering from diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s, and other neurological infections and stroke.
There are 22 target species nationally covering all states and territories both fresh and saltwater.
PIRTEK together with Berkley, BCF, Stacer, ABU Garcia, Lowrance, Valvoline, Sea-Doo, Club Marine, Minn Kota, BAR Group and Mako Eyewear have delivered a fantastic prize pool of over $280,000 for this year’s competition.
PIRTEK are keeping all competitors in the hunt with twenty-two $4000 cash mystery length prizes totalling $88,000. The mystery length is awarded in each category for the fish measuring closest to a secret measurement determined by the event organizers. This length is generally an average sized fish giving everyone the opportunity to win.
Every competitor is also entered into the $100,000 ‘On The Water’ prize draw proving you don’t have to catch big to win big! PRIZES INCLUDE:
• A cracking Stacer 469 Outlaw side console boat motor trailer package with 75hp Mercury outboard, Lowrance sounder and 12 months Club Marine insurance.
