Fishing is to be in the Murray River between Smither's Beach and Ulupna Island and is strictly a catch and release competition. The event is limited to 250 entries, so get your registrations in quick!
The entry fees are $25 per adult (16 years and older), and $10 for juniors (5 to 15 years). Anglers under 5 years of age are free.
You can enter up to two adults and three juniors using the form on the Tocumwal Community Development Committee (TCDC) Facebook page, on the morning of the competition from 5am at the old boat ramp or contact the group via email to tocumwalclassic@gmail.com.
There are great prizes in junior and adult categories. Tocumwal Classic brag mats will also be for sale at this event for $25 each.
The TCDC is aware of the hindrance caused by the reception, keeping photos from being sent and received on the long weekend. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a satisfactory fix to this issue, so the competition will be closed one hour earlier to allow people extra time.
The TCDC thanks everyone for their patience and understanding while they do their very best to make sure they have your entries.
If you want to register or know more, please email the club email (as above) or SMS to 0432 807 835 (messages will be responded to ASAP, please do not call this number). Email is the preferred method of communication to make it easier for organisers to trace enquiries.
Anyone wishing to provide sponsorship is also invited to email the club.
