THE annual Flathead Classic hosted by the Gold Coast Sportsfishing Club and sponsored by Carlton Mid and Bluefin Boats commences on Wednesday October 3, with the tournament launch and fishing to commence from Thursday through to Saturday.
There are 200 teams expected in this year’s event with more than 400 anglers participating in the region’s premier fishing tournament.
With more than $100,000 worth of prizes on offer, the competition to take out this year’s title will be immense.
The major prize for a lucky entrant is a brand new “mystery” model Bluefin boat fitted with a Suzuki 60hp four-stroke motor and Oceanic trailer. The major prize has been kept secret from all outside of the Bluefin company as the builder says it truly is something special and will be revealed at the tournament opening on Wednesday night at 7:30pm. Being a brand new model within Bluefin’s already comprehensive sportsfishing range, the 2012 Flathead Classic will marks its official launch.
All major prizes are based on a lucky door system so that all competitors regardless of fishing ability have an opportunity to win these fantastic prizes.
In addition there is a junior angler prize of Bluefin 3.0 Catfish dinghy supplied with a Suziki 4hp outboard.
This year’s Flathead Classic is sure to live up to expectations. Stay tuned for event results.
