GoFishVic - Your angler diary app available now!
GoFishVIC is a digital revolution for how recreational fishers record their fishing experience and improve their future fishing success.
It’s the easiest way to have your complete fishing history available at your fingertips and uncover the secrets to catching more fish.
On 15 September 2021 the FREE app underwent a significant merger with the RL Tag App to provide a singular powerful platform to enhance your fishing experience and complete your rock lobster reporting requirements. For more information on your rock lobster fishing experience and requirements, click here.
The primary functionality and app navigation routes remain mostly the same. For rock lobster fishers and new users of the App, the VFA will implement a series of workshop and information updates (FAQs, dedicated webpage, instructional leaflets, videos) to help users transition to using GoFishVic.
The FREE GoFishVIC app is now available to download from the App Store and Google Play.
