The Bowen fishing Classic and Wet Weekend is one of Australia's largest family fishing competitions.

The event brings fishing enthusiasts to town for the weekend, whilst providing entertainment and activities for the whole family.

Now in its 17th year, the 2009 Bowen Family Fishing Classic and Wet Weekend is the biggest family fishing competition in the country. Held on Bowen’s Beautiful Front Beach, the event not only offers recreational anglers the chance to compete for a host of fantastic prizes – it provides the whole family with the opportunity to play and be entertained over an entire weekend in the Climate Capital of Australia.

The Classic, as it is rather affectionately known, is a local tradition within our region. For it is the entire Bowen community which makes this event as special as it is. Whether it is the dedicated team of volunteers who work year-round planning the event, or the National, Regional and Local businesses who donate the host of prizes on offer, including Senioer and Junior boating packages as a lucky drawer for anyone who nominates, this is a weekend to remember.

So come on down on September 19th - 20th to Bowen’s Santa Barbara Parade – meet your mates, catch some fish, have some fun, tell your friends!

IT’S A CLASSIC!!
