Perfect for novice and experienced fisherman, the Berkley Travelling Fishing Show and Super Tank brings you the very best of the newest lures and fishing practices.
The mega 12-metre-long, four-metre-high tank, holding 14 thousand litres of water, is the centre stage for the educational program.
Demonstrated by seasoned fishing professional Michael Cooke, and his 20 live Barramundi in the tank, audiences will see a live and in person lure and bait fishing workshop from the top of the tank.
“This is a show for the whole family, even non-fishing people, and we don’t use any hooks,” Michael said.
“The presentations include catch and release techniques, mastering lures and gear tips for the first timers.
“The team will also demonstrate how the many different types of fish react to different lures and techniques used by many of today’s top anglers.”
Running throughout the day, on the hour from 10am, Michael’s demonstrations are educational, thrilling, entertaining, and entirely free during Show Whitsunday.
There is also the chance to ask questions to Michael, and he is always willing to take pointers and learn new techniques from the crowd.
“I’ve done a heap of fishing, but I’m always happy to listen and learn something as well.”
The Super Tank is the largest travelling fish tank and is almost entirely Perspex, allowing the audience and visitors to get the best look at the lures, as well as just get a good look at barramundi in action.
