Hobie Worlds for Victoria
World-class fishing comes to AusAnglers from across the globe will discover the delights of Australian fishing when they converge on the Bemm and Snowy Rivers in Victoria from October 30 to November 3, for the third annual Hobie Fishing World Championship presented by Daiwa and hosted by Hobie Cat Australasia. All countries will compete for the chance to crown one of their own as World Champion.
"The goal of the event is to continue building a platform for Hobie fishing competitions in an environment embracing a common passion for fishing. It's also about building international camaraderie that overrides language and cultural barriers," said Doug Skidmore, president of Hobie Cat Company.
Anglers will be in search of the feisty black bream; pound for pound one of Australia's most challenging game fish. Anglers will compete in identically-rigged Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 14s propelled by Hobie's patented MirageDrive system and fitted with Lowrance electronics and Ram Mounting Systems.
Live weigh-ins will take place on each of the three days of competition with anglers weighing three fish per day. This is tough and challenging water for fishing. Defending champions Scotty Baker (2011) and Marty Mood (2012) will have to be at their best if they want to take another crown. Can they do it or is there another champion on the sidelines? November 3 will tell the story.
Qualifying opportunities will be announced in the coming weeks.
