The Samaki BREAM Queensland Open is on the 1st and 2nd of June 2024. This event puts anglers to the test - fishing one day on Moreton Bay and one day on the Gold Coast you need to give it everything you've got each session, you can't afford to hold anything back!

This event is boater only (with observers on selected boats) and is 100% payback.

A shortened pre-fish ban means any anglers who have on water commitments with SCIBS this year will be able to compete in this year's BREAM Queensland Open.

For full event details and the entry form head check out the link in the comments.

BARRA Teams - Start making your plans!

Entries for the 2024 Zerek BARRA Series and 2024 Venom BARRA Australian Open will open at 1pm (AEST) on Monday the 13th of May.

Entries for each event are capped at 50 boats (teams). Once maximum entries for an event are reached you will receive a message on the online entry form advising that you can join a waitlist.

Find all the event info and links to entry forms in the comments.

Note - the reason we have had to cap the events is due to limitations on boat ramp facilities (it took over 2 hours to launch at Faust in 2023). The maximum field in recent years has been 46 boats - we've haven't broken the 50 boat cap since the mid-2000's. Hope we get close this year!
