A much smaller event than its big brother the Flathead Classic this one day Bream Tournament attracts a good field of keen anglers. Always held on the Good Friday the comp rewards place getters with a good booty of prizes. It is one of the few Bream Tournaments that cater for anglers under 16 and many seasoned bream tournie guys see this as an excellent opportunity to fish with their kids. The comp is held under the ABT tournament rules with the 5 best bream weighed in live at the scales. For those new to bream angling this comp is a great way to get into the sport, remember a suitable live well. (these can be set up in large 60litre eskies) pfd’s and safety lanyards refer to the bream.com.au website for a full copy of the rules.
