ON the back of the successful 2018 Evans Heads Fishing Classic, this world class fishing competition is returning in 2019.
The Evans Head Fishing Classic (EHFC) is synonymous with family holiday fun and is now well into its twenties. It makes a significant contribution to the local economy in the process.
Due to competitor demand, this year sees the event move to a 6-day event, enabling the local weekly accommodation blocks to fit into the event schedule.
The 2019 EHFC will run from the night of the July 13 through to the main prize draws on the July 19. The competition fishing zone allows fishing from Byron to Yamba and covers both estuary and offshore. This provides a contingency for bad weather conditions and provides multiple fishing options.
On the Sunday, come down with the little ones for the Cadet Competition. There are also fishing clinics to help teach the young guns how to improve their fishing. They are free to anyone, not just competitors.
Champions, competitors and all attendees will be in the running for a total prize pool of over $100,000. All 6-day competitors have the chance to win one of two boat-motor-trailer packages sponsored by Quintrex/Evinrude ETEC. There is also a host of other prizes from Lowrance Electronics, Samurai Rods, Wilsons, Hobie Kayaks, Frogleys Offshore and others.
The EHFC will be held on the river banks outside Club Evans who are also strong supporters, as are many other businesses in the local community. Make sure you check out the website and support those who support your passion.
