To create even more interest and excitement in the 2016 Hobie Kayak Bream Series, as well as, the usual open scoring system with its amazing prize payouts, Hobie Fishing has introduced new divisions in all tournaments for the coming season. Divisions:
  • Youth (16 – under 21yrs)
  • Women’s
  • Masters (60 – 64yrs)
  • Grand Masters (65 and over)
There must be a minimum of three anglers entered in a division for a winner to be declared and a sponsor prize pack to be awarded. An angler must have caught and weighed-in a minimum of one legal fish to be declared the divisional winner. All divisional entrants are still eligible to win prize payouts and prize packs in the main field of anglers. If you are entering a Hobie Kayak Bream Series tournament for the first time you have the option of a to have a First Timer Entry. The requirement of being an ABT member waivered and you will NOT be required to pay an entry fee. “First Timer Entrants”, are not eligible for prizes and your scores will not be recorded. As a new angler to the series you may still register with ABT and pay your entry fee, and be eligible, like all other entrants, for prize pool payouts and sponsor prize packs. Your entry form and payment shall be completed by Friday the week before the event (7 days) to avoid the late payment penalty.

Good Weights hit the scales at Swan River A warm northerly breeze greeted anglers in the morning of round 6 of the Hobie Kayak Bream Series. Forty two anglers pedalled off from the Power-Pole starting line at the iconic bream fishery of Swan River in Tasmania. The Swan turned on the Tasmanian charm throughout the day with almost 90% of the anglers returning to weigh-in with excellent full bags of 3 bream. The fish were on the bite and hitting hard early in the session with many competitors looking for upgrades by 8:00am.IMG_2361 At the close of day one, Richard Somerton from Victoria is in first place with a full bag of 3 bream for 3.72kg, followed by Chris Burbidge, also from Victoria, with 3 bream weighing 3.48kg, and Josh Carpenter from New South Wales is currently sitting in third position with 3 for 3.33kg. Leading the Youth Division is Jonty Krushka from Tasmania weighing 3 for 2.55kg, Michelle Carmody is currently leading the Women’s with 3 for 2.31kg, Masters is held by Gary Hanson from Victoria with 3 for 2.68kg and finally the Grand Masters is led by John Whelan from New South Wales with 3 for 2.06kg. Geoff Alford is currently leading the Hog’s Breath Café Boss Hog Big Bream with his 1.41kg bag kicker. At the close of day one 115 bream were brought to the scales, with a combined weight of 99.87kg, before being returned to the waterway to fight another day. With the final session of the event to be completed tomorrow we are in for another excellent day on the water.
