Arena:

By far one of the most stand-out estuary systems in East Gippsland is Mallacoota Inlet, situated not too far from the Victorian /New South Wales Border. This mighty estuary has too numerous features to mention from sand flats and deep channels in the top and bottom lakes to tree lined, rock snag sections as you head towards Gipsy Point. Anglers will be in heaven with the range of fishing options, which they can navigate between quickly with the lack of speed limits on the majority of the system. There has not been a winning classic tournament bag on this venue under the magical 10kg mark since the Humminbird Series started visiting the venue in 2006, which just illustrates why this is a must do venue for all tournament anglers
