Million Dollar Fish in the Northern Territory, Australia's richest fishing competition, will kick-off its fifth season next month with an extra barramundi worth $1 million added to the competition.
With the odds of winning better than ever before, anglers from all over the country are expected to descend on the Territory's Top End, when the free competition opens on Tuesday, 1 October. So line up your Darwin campervan rental, pack your fishing rod and get set to hook into a million reasons to smile!
The prize-wielding barramundi, released in waters at Katherine, Kakadu, Arnhem Land, Darwin and the Tiwi Islands – where anglers who are registered for the competition can go to fish for the riches – will allow entrants to experience the Territory's iconic run-off season when barramundi stocks are at their most plentiful.
“The Top End is home to the biggest population of barramundi in Australia, and Million Dollar Fish has helped to boost our reputation as one of the best places in the world to fish,” he said.
“The huge tidal rivers, scenic inland billabongs and mangrove-lined estuaries make the Top End an unrivalled, world-class fishing destination, catering to every type of fishing enthusiast.”
Million Dollar Fish is free to enter and participants must pre-register online at www.milliondollarfish.com.au to be eligible for cash and sponsor prizes.
