 On the 15th and 16th of May, dozens of anglers converged on Manly at the brisk hour of 4:00am to compete in the Brisbane Fishing Online event, the Moreton Bay Classic 2010. With thousands of dollars worth of cash and prizes up for grabs, the stage was set for some tough competition. After a quick briefing and the issuing of their unique items from the admin at event HQ, the crews were off in search of good waters and hopefully even better fish!
As luck would have it the weather on Saturday was sensational and many crews used this to their advantage heading far and wide over the bay. With a varied range of species on offer as eligible target species, game plans had been laid early by many competitors for the duration of the weekend. Many anglers even stayed out overnight to maximise their chance at the prize pool for this event.
 On Sunday the entries started rolling in early. Many tired but excited anglers began to appear around event HQ as the day warmed up (a little bit), cameras in hand ready to register fish. It was great to once again that thanks to Brisbane Fishing Online's dedication to this virtual method of registering fish, many category placing fish were able to be released to fight another day. By midday the event HQ was bustling. Dozens of anglers were uniting to share stories of success, defeat, cold nights and cold ales. Many new aqquaintances seemed to have been formed, and helped by a hot BBQ and cold drinks, the event HQ certainly had a great feeling of camaraderie and a lack of ego always present at Brisbane Fishing Online events.

The 2010 Moreton Bay Classic fishing competition kicked off well this morning with a good turn out for the 4am briefing and sign-in. Over 20 competitors braced the cold weather and early morning to arrive at 4am to complete their registration and get on the water.
The day went well with over 40 competitors so far that have signed in to compete in the Moreton Bay Classic 2010. The event so far has 50 competitors in total who have registered to compete and so looks like it is shaping up to be a great event with good competition.
The weather was perfect with glassed out conditions for most of the day. Hopefully we will see some good entries come in tomorrow!!
Reminder that the prize presentation is at 12 midday, so please come in before that so we can get your photos off your memory cards. There generally is quite a queue so the earlier to arrive the better. We will be drawing the lucky door prizes of the fantastic fishing charters from Buckat List Fishing Charters and Brisbane Bay Tours at 12pm sharp and then we will move into the prize presentation for the five prize categories.
 Also we have now in stock the new BFO tshirts for sale. These are great looking tshirts and so please bring along some cash if you would like to purchase one of these tshirts and show your support for the community. We only have a limited number in each size so get in quick to get yours before we run out. We will also have BFO shirt patches, winter fleeces perfect for the early morning start tomorrow as well as BFO beanies. We will be there again from 4am - 12 midday so just come and see us between these times to buy any of these items.
The tshirts are $30 normally, but for the Moreton Bay Classic 2010 they will be on sale for the introductory price of $25. This sale ends after the prize presentation tomorrow. Sorry we do not have eftpos so please along cash.

 Brisbane Bay Tours are planning to run an early morning charter and an evening/night charter each day of the competition and is looking for entrants who are keen to get to the competition winning fish to team up with us each day. We will work in with the prevailing tides and other fish feeding factors to get each charter at least one tide change to maximise chances of being there when they are biting. I might be giving our tactics away but at this stage we are considering these places to target. There are still a lot of prawns about in the lower reaches of the Bay around the Islands and where there is food there is fish hunting them down! We will target Snapper, Jew, Tailor, Bream and Flathead around the islands and reefs off Victoria Point for those species and likewise at the front rock wall of the Brisbane River there have been some great Snapper and Jew in particular chomping on the big run of prawns this year in the river. That allows us to get out fishing no matter what weather using the shelter of the islands or the river to ensure our team will have the best chance of hooking into a big one for the weigh in. Of course we have other spots that we will hit but you will have to be with us to know where they are! Departure and return times will be worked out with the customers. Aiming for a solid 8 hour trip or longer or shorter by negotiation. We have four positions available on each of the early morning and evening night trips and can stretch that to five if you want to fish with your mates. Individual fishers welcome and we will fit you in with other BFO members Special price of $126pp for BFO members includes rods, bait and tackle, snacks and freshly made sandwiches to keep your strength up. Welcome to use your own lucky gear! Give me a call and we will book you in on 07 3134 3260 or email brendon@brisbanebaytours.com.au
