Welcome to the 14th Annual WILSONS EVANS HEAD FISHING CLASSIC.

In these tough economic times it has been a struggle to maintain our level of sponsorship, however our loyal sponsors have once again dug deep and we have been able to offer a great array of prizes.

Our major prize has once again been sponsored by Yamaha, Sea Jay Boats, Stones Corner Marine and Redco Trailers. Wilson, the fishing tackle specialist, has once again acquired the naming rights of the Event. They will be supplying a wide range of quality fishing equipment as prizes during the competition. Many thanks to all our other sponsors, who are mentioned in this brochure.

Since our inception, we have endeavoured to make our fi shing competition one of the most fish and environmentally friendly events in Australia, and we are very proud of our achievements to date. Our event is regularly used by NSW Fisheries as a benchmark for other competitions. In addition to our catch, display and release, our live snapper day and our halving of the regular bag limits, this year we have decided to limit the total number of days that entrants can weigh-in dead fish to 5 days. (See Rules for details).

To help support the Cancer Council, the ladies have been very busy organizing the “Ladies Breakfast”. There will be some great prizes and, as this is a charity fund raiser, it is not restricted to entrants, and ladies are encouraged to bring along female friends.

Once again the ever popular “Thongs“ bowling day will be held. This is always a fun day with lots of prizes on offer.

The Skippers briefing will once again be a live presentation at 4pm on Friday afternoon. This year it will also be compulsory for ALL crew to attend prior to going to sea – any boats crossing the bar prior to attending the skippers briefing will be disqualified. Any skippers and crew who cannot make the live presentation will be required to view a video prior to going to sea.
