Annual LAKE BULLEN MERRI FISHING CLASSIC

First weekend in October 2012

.
Our
.
The Lake Bullen Merri Classic 2011
Fishing in the classic caters for all potential fisher persons. Boat fishing is available at both lakes with the installation of new boat ramps. With the very wet season this year both lakes have increased their water capacity and were at the highest level we have seen for a few years. South Beach at Lake Bullen Merri has two boat ramps available giving timely access to the lake. The installation of floating pontoons at South Beach has further facilitated easy access to our wonderful lake. Lake Purrumbete now also has boat access with the installation of a new ramp. We are currently in the process of repairing and upgrading the floating pontoon in front of our clubrooms. This added to improvements to the facilities in front of our clubrooms. A boat is not necessary to participate in the competition as bank fishing is easily accessible at both lakes. Family participation is encouraged and prizes were  integrated into the presentations for lady and junior anglers.

Both lakes were currently fishing well with some very nice rainbow and brown trout being regularly caught.


Lake Bullen Merri Classic Fishing Report 2011
The Annual Lake Bullen Merri Fishing Classic was again held at Camperdown on the first weekend in October. Participant numbers continue to be maintained even though this year we were completing against the grand final in the AFL as well as bad weather in the days preceding the classic. On the weekend the weather was again favourable as fisher persons enjoyed the wonderful fishing at Lake Bullen Merri and Lake Purrumbete. A big fish (6.35 kg Brown Trout) was caught at Lake Purrumbete on Friday evening before the classic was a great incentive for all anglers.The Classic Fish was a beautiful Rainbow Trout caught by Paul Rebecchi at Lake Bullen Merri on Sunday. This year we had an increase in the number of junior fisher persons participating which all goes well for the future of fishing. Winners in each category are listed below.

            This event would not be possible without the wonderful support of our sponsors who each year willingly assists us with the running of this event. This year we had new Major Sponsors who joined DOWLER CABINETS, FROGLEY’S OFFSHORE, CORANGAMITE SHIRE. LOWRANCE and WIGSTONS LURE’S supported us as new sponsors this year. Local sponsor PARKERS Fishing & Tackle of Colac was a new sponsor this year and we thank Stephen for his sponsorship. Once again the support of all our sponsors including our major sponsors and all our local sponsors, life members and club members make this event such a success. Our club really appreciates their ongoing support. We ask you to consider supporting these sponsors if you are in our area as without their support our classic would not be such a success.
