Vic Bream Classic is set to invade Gippsland in the coming months, with the Mallacoota set to host the first of two big tournaments on August 17-18.
The series in its 19th year set to inject much-needed funds into East Gippsland towns of Mallacoota, Marlo and Metung.
The Vic Bream Classic Series brings anglers from all over Victoria and interstate to the East Gippsland region, with many new anglers each year getting a taste of just what these picturesque towns have to offer.
This usually starts a long-term tradition of visiting the region each year following the series and holidaying with their families.
The series kicked off in March at Metung and will now see an influx of passionate bream anglers hit the township of Mallacoota for round four of the series, before returning for round five at Marlo on October 12-13.
Opportunities still exist to be part of the Mallacoota adventure, with entries for teams of two still being taken.
It’s your opportunity to compete and rub shoulders with some of the best bream anglers in Victoria.
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, with teams competing using lure, fly or soft plastic lures to weigh in 5 live legal-sized breams on each day’s competition, with the heaviest 2-day bag crowned the winner.
The series is supported by East Gippsland Shire Council and Destination Gippsland – Events Gippsland.
