Easter Fishing Classic on again
THE 2025 Easter Fishing Classic is once again set to draw a big field of entries, with some great prizes up for grabs.
This year’s event (organised by the Warrnambool and District Angling Club) will no doubt attract anglers of all ages keen to bring in the catch of the day.
The fishing classic will kick off at 12 noon on Good Friday, with entries to be submitted at the angling club’s rooms at 3 Otway Road from 10am.
The classic will run from 12 noon on Good Friday and will end at 12 noon on Easter Sunday (all fish must be weighed in before Sunday’s deadline).
A major prize of $1,000 will be presented for the heaviest bream caught and released overall (junior, ladies or open), while first prize of $500 will be awarded for the heaviest fish in the open/ladies division (bream, perch, mulloway and brown trout).
Prizes for the top four heaviest fish to follow will also be awarded.
In the junior competition, there will be prizes for the top 10 heaviest fish (bream, perch, mulloway and brown trout).
And for added excitement, there will also be mystery weight prizes and raffles across the weekend (one prize per person).
Raffle tickets can be purchased at the clubrooms on Friday between 10am and 12 noon.
A reminder to all entrants that weigh-ins will take place between 6pm-6.30pm Friday, 9am-9.30am and 6pm-6.30pm Saturday, and 11.30am-12 noon Sunday.
Fishing boundaries will be from the Fitzroy River in the west and the Curdies River in the east (and any waterway in between).
