Ready to land the fish of a LIFETIME?

We’ve invested $100,000 into the Fish’n’SIP$ tagged fish competition run by the Freshwater Fish Stocking Association of Queensland in Central and North Queensland.

The competition has had an excellent start with 3 prizes already claimed. First and second prize were caught at Tinaroo Dam, with both tagged barramundi more than a metre long! Third prize was caught at Cania Dam hooking a 440mm Australian bass.

The competition supports the Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme (SIPS) and will see more fish stocked for anglers in the next financial year. Southern Queensland has benefited from flood recovery grants with the equivalent of approximately 800,000 additional Australian bass or golden perch being stocked this financial year. That means there are plenty of fish for you to catch and still $20,000 up for grabs in the Fish’n’SIP$ competition.

Buy your SIPS permit to fish in Queensland’s dams and weirs via the Qld Fishing 2.0 app or head to qld.gov.au and search ‘SIPS’.
