It is with great sadness we announce that, due to having no major sponsor for 2020, the Moreton Island Fishing Classic will not be proceeding in 2020.
MIA, ARB and all of our sponsors would like to thank all the wonderful entrants who have made the previous classics such a fantastic success!
Still keen for a comp?
You’re in luck! We’re running a fishing photo comp alongside ARB for the month of August! Just take a pic or video of you and your best catch on Moreton Island and use the tag #bestcatch2020 (and tag @moretonislandadventures and @arb4x4) on Facebook or Instagram to go in the running to win an ARB fridge valued at $1,900, a Glamping holiday at Castaways AND a cash prize of $200!!
Can’t wait to see your pics!
- 2019 ARB Moreton Island Fishing Classic – Wrap Up
THAT’S A WRAP!! THANKS TO THE SPONSORS AND ENTRANTS OF THE 2019 ARB MORETON ISLAND FISHING CLASSIC
Well the 2019 Moreton Island ARB fishing classic started with a bang! From the stunning weather, to the prawn peeling competitions, free Billabongs for the kids, amazing random draw prizes and sausage sizzle, most were happy to wait to throw in a line!
Massive thanks goes to:
- Our wonderful sponsors for supplying around 60k worth of prizes! With 350 entrants, random draw and mystery weight prizes, you didn’t need to be a pro to take home some amazing gear!
- Dean Miller (Campr) and Andrew Mirosch for making this years’ classic unforgettable with hilarious commentary, calamari, prawn and fish cooking lessons (thanks for the delicious recipes Andrew!) and loads of fishing tips. We’ll be tuning into Campr for the Fishing classic episode!
- Mead Murphy for being a fantastic judge and wealth of information as always; and
- Last but not least, our own Jan Robbins and the Castaways team for organising the comp. This is a monstrous job, and as per usual, everything went off without a hitch.
