   The Gold Coast  2013 Flathead Classic is building to be a great event. Whether you are a tournament regular or a first timer this iconic tournament now in its 20th year should be on your calendar. It is so much more than a fishing comp with a great event wrapped around excellent fishing. The estuaries of the Gold Coast are renowned for their big flathead and there is no better time to go crocodile hunting than this time of year. The format is over 2.5 days and is a eco friendly catch and release comp, so no live wells are needed.  What you do need though is a digital camera to capture your catches with against the tournament ruler which is provided at our briefing. Please note  it is a lure and fly comp so sorry no bait allowed. A full copy of the rules is available on the site.
   
    
   
   The comp can be fished as a team of 2 or team of 3 and we have Champion Team and individual trophy categories along with some other species trophies. However all of our big prizes are won by random draw! Yes thats right you don’t have to be the best angler to take home the great Blue Fin Boat, Motor and Oceanic Trailer package!
   
    
   
   Our entry fee includes: Tournament entry, a team Tournament Bag packed full of goodies, Tournament Shirt  for each angler plus 3 dinners and one lunch,  as well as your entry into the Lucky random draw. No onsite camping is available and accommodation is your responsibility. A number of local accommodation places including Rays resort, Coomera Houseboats and Thornton Towers are offering a discount if you mention the Flathead Classic!
   
    
   
   We are famous for our bumper raffles so be sure to bring along some cash each night to get amongst the prizes. We also have a casting comp and other promotional activities and entertainment.
