Fishing is a fun and relaxing pastime everyone can enjoy.

It’s a great way for couples to spend quality time together chatting as you wait for the fish to bite. Or a bonding experience for families, as you teach the little ones how to bait a hook, cast a line and land their first fish. Be sure to have a camera handy, it’s a memory you’ll look back on for years.

But why go fishing for just a day when you can go on a fishing holiday? Ingenia Holidays Parks have all the ingredients for an amazing fishing getaway, like waterfront locations, boat ramp access and even fish cleaning stations to streamline the journey from barb to barbie!

Here are some fishing holiday ideas that are sure to get you hooked.

Lure a whopper from the lake

Travel north or south from Sydney and you’ll find lakefront holiday parks that tick all the ‘tackle’ boxes.

Set on the shores of Australia’s largest saltwater lake, Ingenia Holidays Lake Macquarie will delight even the most seasoned anglers. Fish from the private jetty or launch your boat and choose your spot from the 110sq km on offer. The well-stocked waters hold a wide variety of fish including bream, flathead, tailor, yellowtail kingfish, whiting and Australian salmon.

Ingenia Holidays Lake Conjola is also a fisherman’s dream with a picturesque lake on one side and a lagoon on the other. Drop a line in and you’re almost certain to catch a flathead but there are also plenty of bream, tailor and whiting waiting to nibble your hook.

Reel in dinner from the river

With a boat ramp and a spacious pontoon, Ingenia Holidays Rivershore makes the most of its waterfront location on Petrie Creek, a tidal waterway that flows into the Sunshine Coast’s Maroochy River. The calm waters are perfect for beginners who can test their skills landing bream, whiting, trevally, mangrove jack and flathead.

Kingfish, Australian salmon, snapper, mulloway and more await fishing enthusiasts that holiday in Port Stephens. Set on a spit of land that juts into the Karuah River, Ingenia Holidays Soldiers Point is surrounded by beaches, bays, wharves and jetties ideal for a relaxing day or two of fishing.

Snag a snapper from the sea

Ingenia Holidays White Albatross sits right on the waterfront in Nambucca Heads. Fish from the breakwater or the beach and if the fish aren’t biting, enjoy the catch of the day at the on-site restaurant. The V Wall Pavilion serves up seafood sensations along with stunning water views.

Just steps from the sand, Eden Beachfront is also a haven for those who love sea fishing. Take your pick from Twofold Bay or Shadrack Creek and find yourself cooking up freshly caught bream, trevally, gurnard, snapper or whiting for dinner.

With accommodation options spanning cabins to campsites and endless activities to entertain the kids, where will you choose the throw a line in? Book your fishing holiday today!
