Vic Bream Classic fever will return to Mallacoota on the weekend, the venue of last year’s grand final.
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.
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 five live legal-sized breams.
In the 2023 finale last November, Mallacoota Inlet was on fire for large numbers of hungry bream, although those elusive big blue nose black bream were nowhere to be found.
The event was taken out by locals Bowen Joiner and Ben Hanscombe, who managed to put together two consistent days of fishing and took out the win with 10 bream for a total weight of 9.36 kilograms.
They finished ahead of Michael Hunt and Adam Brown (8.580kg) and Shaun Clancy and Jarod Healey (8.160kg).
The August Mallacoota event currently has 69 teams entered, including local anglers Ruth Beeby, Paul and Justin Conn, Steven and Lindsay Pryke, among others.
