Vic Bream Classic Marlo 25-26 2023.

This is the first review of a Vic Bream Classic! What an episode. As you will hear, I really like some of the team names…. They cracked me up!

One of the things that I really like about the team events is that it not just mates ,but family members can go out together and compete in a competition. In this event we had two father and son teams in the top three.

In third place was Paul and Justin Conn of team EGM Revisited. I spoke with Justin who gave me a complete run down of their competition . I found it interesting that Justin spoke about his dad catching so consistently that at one point Justin was basically a just netting fish. I hope we can talk again and ask Paul some specifics about his technique with blades. It seems like he really had it dialled in!

In second place we had the experience of team Hummingbird with Shaun Clancy and Jarrod Healey. This was another interesting story because they borrowed a small tinny to try to get into Lake Corringle. Tune in to hear how they decked this boat out for this particular competition. If you are a Hummingbird owner or are thinking about becoming one I think you will find this discussion very interesting.

Then in first place I spoke with father and son team Steven and Lindsay Pryke. After an ordinary prefish this experienced team were able to catch a bag quickly.They then upgraded to 5.27 kg on day one which included a 1.24kg kicker fish. On the Sunday they were again able to put together an impressive  bag weighing 5.35kg. The combined bags totalled 10.62 Kg which is a better tha 1Kg average per fish. This bag included a 1.45 kg beast which anchored their bag and helped them take a convincing win.

Big bream went to Bruce Robinson and Michael Newman with an absolute beast at 1:55 kg.

I really enjoyed recording this episode. Thanks to the anglers who were able to speak with me at short notice and shared so much.

I look forward to covering the next  Vic Bream Classic in Mallacoota!
