2014 Cod Classic Media Release

Australia’s richest freshwater fishing tournament and most eagerly awaited social event on the fishing calendar, the “2014 Yamaha Cod Classic” and “Wilson Slick Back Lure’s Junior Cod Classic” is drawing near. December 5th - 7th will see Lake Mulwala come alive with an expected 3000 plus anglers.

Organisation is well under way for the 15th Cod Classic. This year a staggering prize pool that totals in excess of $150K including a Ford vehicle and seven boating packages will be up for grabs. Incredibly, 83 boating packages will have been given away through the Cod Classic after this year.
 
The “Fishing & Outdoors” expo will be a main feature with the chance to grab a bargain not to be missed. Other popular parts of the competition include iconic entertainer “Flathead Fred” for the juniors; “Cod Talk” with Rod “Codmac” McKenzie and Gus Storer, and the Samurai Rods Australian Pro Casting Championships. The “Native Watercraft" Australian Canoe & Kayak Cod Fishing Championships enters its fourth year. Catering for the new breed of fisherman who chose to fish from either a canoe and kayak, this event is a must for those who chose paddle and peddle over petrol and power.

Designed for the family with all levels of fishing skills catered for, everybody has a chance of winning one of the many great prizes on offer weather using either bait or lures. The majority of prizes are randomly drawn with you not having to catch a fish to be a winner! Those that are lucky enough to register either a legal size Murray Cod or Golden Perch go into additional draws to win extra great prizes. There will be over 1500 prizes (adults) and all juniors will receive several prizes. A Ford Ute, boating packages, sounders, canoes, kayaks, fishing trips, holidays, fishing gear, camping equipment and clothing just to name some of the gear lucky anglers will go home with.

Entry fee, Adults $90 and juniors $40. This includes four meals, souvenir stubby holder, a free ticket in major boat raffle, Wilson Slickback lure & Bassman Spinnerbait (for the kids), entry into 1000’s of lucky door prize draws and the promise of a great weekend.

You would be crazy to miss this great weekend in Yarrawonga / Mulwala and the chance to “catch a legend” on the twin towns’ famous Cod fishing ground, Lake Mulwala.
