MURRAY DARLING BASIN CATEGORYThis new section of the Challenge is designed to get all of our western anglers fishing. The Murray Darling Basin is a huge area stretching from southern Queensland through New South Wales, Victoria to South Australia. There will be two target species. The competition will be held on Sunday, 10 April, 2011 between the hours of 6.00 am and 6.00 pm. Each State’s target species will be revealed after 6.00 pm on Saturday, 9 April, 2011 via the website www.pirtekfishingchallenge.com.au. All competitors need to do is catch their State’s target species, photograph the fish on the Pirtek brag mat along with their registered angler number and send the photo into www.pirtekfishingchallenge.com.au. The idea is to catch, measure, photograph and let your fish go. Every State and Territory will win BIG CASH and terrific prizes. Each winning target species is worth $4000 cash with great prize packs for second, third, fourth and junior first and second. Pirtek Brand Champion, Michael Guest, commented “Together with my wife Lisa we have been working each year to improve and build the Challenge with the prize pool reaching an amazing $140,000 this year. I think we are on the right track. “I’d love to see even more families and juniors involved in this year’s Challenge and look forward to catching you on the water Sunday, April 10. Tight lines and fight a fish to fight prostate cancer.”
