Learn the tips and tricks of fishing at the Berkley Super Tank

The Berkley Super Tank will take visitors of all ages on an underwater journey at Henty Machinery Field Days with up to 20 live fish, usually the almighty Barramundi.

Part portable fishing show, part mobile fish tank and educational program, the 12,000 litre Berkley Super tank is designed to give the public a fish-eye view on the world of angling. 

Michael Cooke is a seasoned angler with over 60 years fishing experience and will demonstrate lure and bait fishing techniques from on top of the tank, one of the biggest mobile fish tanks in the southern hemisphere, in the 20-minute shows. 

“This is a show for the whole family, even non-fishing people, and we don’t use any hooks,” he 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.”

The live demonstrations are educational, exciting, entertaining and free, and will run throughout each day of the event. 

The clear Perspex sides of the tank allow a good view of how the lures work and the action in the water. 

The Berkley Super Tank has been to almost every major show and event in the Australia including the Henty Machinery Field Days. 

There is also a large range of rods, reel, lures and fishing equipment to purchase.
