Woodgate Beach Hotel Fishing Classic 2024

The eighth annual Woodgate Beach Hotel Fishing Classic is almost here, and we are excited to announce that this year we have once again partnered with Queensland Fishing Classics to host our 2024 event.

With our prize pool reaching over $100,000, by September this family friendly event is sure to have something for the entire family!

Our theme this year is pink, with our feature fish being a snapper.

The classic will take place over the first weekend of the September school holidays, which will see the Woodgate Beach Hotel transform into the iconic tournament precinct, with the beautiful foreshore as its backdrop.

The precinct will be filled with vendors, a rod-building masterclass and the return of our ever popular raffle tent.

Our young anglers’ kids day will be held on the Saturday, with everything for kids – face painting, colouring-in comps, fish-cart races with Dane and Squid and much more.

Also included on the Saturday night are our kids’ major draw down prizes, which will see one lucky young angler take home a boating package valued at over $13,000.

We will have a few things lined up for the adults too on Saturday, with the team from SJS Custom Fishing Rods holding a rod-making and basic rod-repair masterclass, along with another new addition for the 2024 event, which will be revealed over the weekend – it may be our best idea yet!

Sunday will feature our fishing category winners for both adults and cadets, along with the highly anticipated adults’ major draw downs.

This year, we have all the favourites returning along with some new additions to the prize pools, so be sure to jump over to our website and follow us on Facebook or Instagram to stay up to date with all things 2024, and remember to pack your tow ball in case the 2024 top prize package heads home with you!

We have partnered with Bundaberg Trackset again, with our charity raffle prize being a brand new 2024 Seadoo Spark.

This raffle prize is valued at over $15,000 and could be yours on Sunday 17, while supporting and raising money for Wide Bay-Burnett LifeFlight Australia.

Information about this raffle can be found on our website.

Fishing will be hot in September, so for the best chance of taking out prizes in the 2024 WBHFC, be sure to pop in and see Dane and the team at Fisho’s Tackle World Hervey Bay for the gear you’ll need.

The crew are local anglers with extensive knowledge, ensuring you have the best possible chance at catching the target species.

And, up for grabs this year, the biggest fish has a cash prize of $500!

The 2024 event will be capped at 800 entrants – to ensure we can cater to everyone’s needs across the weekend.

With last year’s event being a complete sell out and many anglers turned away, you don’t want to miss out!

So, visit the website and register to be part of the 2024 Woodgate Beach Hotel Fishing Classic.

Key details can be found on the WBHFC website in the lead up to the event.

We hope to see you at the gate in September!
