In 2025, Vic Bream Classics will be going into its 20th year of running the Vic Bream Classic Series and this weekend the Series heads to Marlo fishing the mighty Snowing River for the Megabass East Gippsland Bream Classic.
Marlo holds some of the biggest and badest black bream any where in Australia so there is a good chance of anglers landing that magical 6kg bag of 5 bream.
For 20 years the Vic Bream Classic Series has been providing a fun, inclusive and family friendly catch and release bream fishing tournament series right throughout Victoria.
In 2025 the series is only going from strength to strength with more amazing sponsors than ever before and more than $180,000 in cash and prizes up for the grabs.
Many of the prizes are randomly drawn, so everyone has a chance to win some amazing prizes.
On August 16 and 17 the series heads to Marlo and will see an influx of passionate bream anglers hit the town for round four of the series, the Megabass East Gippsland Bream Classic.
The Vic Bream Classic Series brings anglers from all over Victoria and interstate to the region and many new anglers each year get a taste of just what this picturesque location has to offer.
This usually starts a long-term tradition of visiting the region each year following the series and holidaying with their families.
The beauty of this style of catch and release tournament fishing is you get to fish with your best mate, Dad, Mum, brother or sister, it is up to you.
The tournament is open to all age groups with the only restriction is that people under the age of 18 fish with a parent or approved guardian.
All anglers must fish out of a boat with a licensed boat operator on board. If you have a child under 12 they can fish with you and another adult so you can make a team of three which is great to get the kids involved.
Teams compete using lure, fly or soft plastic lures to weigh in five live legal-sized breams on each day’s competition, with the heaviest two-day bag crowned the winner.
If you love your lure fishing for bream and want to learn more, there is no better way to fast track your skills than to compete in the Vic Bream Series, as there are any number of highly skilled anglers competing who will point you in the right direction, tell you the hot lure to use and best techniques to enable you to land that big bag of bream.
The Teams format creates a fantastic social feel to the weekend while still maintaining a high level of competition among teams.
Since its inception in 2005 the Vic Bream Classic Series has turned into a large family of passionate anglers who love to fish, socialise and have fun across Victoria.
These great bunch of guys and girls follow the series to each destination and forge lifelong friendships with other teams along the way.
If you are not interested in fishing, but want to still watch the tournament unfold, then be sure to come along to the Marlo Hotel at 2pm on Saturday and Sunday where you will see the quality Marlo bream on display in the new large display tank.
Alternatively you can tune into the Vic Bream Classics Facebook page to watch the live stream from 2pm each day as well.
