Fishing with the family is one of those timeless ways to bring everyone together. If you’re after the perfect spot to enjoy a chilled day on the water, then Lake Macquarie’s your go-to.

Lake Macquarie is one of Australia’s top spots for anglers, plain and simple. It’s a big, beautiful, and forgiving (in regards to weather) — saltwater lake that sits just south of Newcastle, with plenty of fish and views to match.
