Moreton Bay Fishing Classic 2024 wrap-up

The Moreton Bay Fishing Classic wrapped up with a bang, and what a week it was!

With emcee Paul Burt, the event brought together anglers from all over, all eager to snag a piece of the $100,000 in cash and prizes.

Winnings ranged from Minn Kota trolling motors, cash, Humminbird sounders, a Wynnum Marine $30k boating package and so much more.

Oh, and did we mention cash?

 

We heard you loud and clear – you loved the cash prizes!

The competition was fierce and the excitement in the air was contagious.

Every angler also scored a $40 voucher to spend at the Frogleys Offshore merchandise tent.

You’ve got to love a great new fishing tee or some awesome new lures!

Thanks Michael, Domm and the crew – legends.

 

This year marked a new chapter for the Classic, as we teamed up with the Australian Fishing Tournament’s app for the first time.

The app made it easier than ever to track catches and keep the competition fair and fun.

The feedback has been great and we’re already looking forward to adding more features to the comp for next year.

A special shoutout goes to our major sponsors, Johnny and the gang at Wynnum Marine, Ben and the crew from Minn Kota, BLA, Green Beacon, Atomic and, of course, the headquarters of the Classic and home to the Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club – Manly Harbour Boat Club.

 

Thanks to our sponsor’s support, events like this can continue for our great community.

And, of course, a massive cheer to our other sponsors and the army of volunteers.

Thank you for making everything run smoothly.

The kids were a huge highlight of the event, with every young angler walking away with a trophy and some cool prizes.

Seeing the smiles on their faces was priceless and a reminder of what this event is all about.

A Family Fishing Classic!

 

The live entertainment this year was next level, with amazing performances by Natalie Bassingthwaighte and the Rogue Traders plus Caitlyn Shadbolt.

They brought the energy and kept the crowd buzzing long after the sun went down.

“This year’s Fishing Classic was a fantastic success, and it’s all thanks to the amazing community we have here.

“We’re already counting down to next year,” said the 2024 Classic team.
