Arena:
This is sure to have heads turning when a fleet of 50 bream boats take to the water in front of huge crowds at the show to try and tempt the Yarra, Maribyrnong and Port Phillips Bays huge and sometime very challenging black bream population.
The fishing opportunities are endless at this arena and the hardest decision the competitors will have to make is just exactly where to fish. Competitors can head up the Yarra River, Maribyrnong River or out into Port Phillip Bay to fish the many moored boats and flats. Weather permitting some competitors can also make the run to the Werribee River or Patterson Lakes system to try and catch that tournament winning bag. This will make for an extremely exciting tournament where team strategies can really come into play. Where ever the anglers choose to fish one thing is certain and that's how spectacular the weigh in will be when they all return to New Quay Docklands for the weigh in, in front of the huge BIA Boat Show crowd.
