By Chantelle Bozicevic

The anticipation is building as the upcoming Rainbow Beach Fishing Classic & Expo 2023 approaches. This year’s event, which will have been running for an impressive 35 years, is set to be bigger and better than ever before. From Sunday 11 June to Saturday 17 June, the event will bring together the local community, businesses, and visitors for a week-long celebration of fishing and mate-ship.

Not only will there be daily weigh-ins from Monday to Friday, but the Grand Finale on Saturday 17 June promises to be an exciting event with weigh-ins and the drawing of the Major Draw Down Prize. It’s an event not to be missed for any keen anglers.

But that’s not all. For the first time, The Rainbow Beach Sports Club will be hosting a Pre Party on Saturday 10 June, featuring performances from Busby Marou and Graeme Jensen, as well as a special support act yet to be announced.

And let’s not forget about the Expo aspect of the event. Competitors and spectators will have access to a wide range of stall holders. The Brookvale Union Cart and Great Northern Bar will be there to quench thirsts with refreshing beverages, while Sunshine Mitre 10 and Anaconda will provide all the necessary tools for fishing enthusiasts and showcase their extensive range of outdoor gear.

Other stall holders include, Cooper Tires, ARB, John Madill Toyota, Salty Gear, Gardiner Fisheries, Icey Tek Eskies, Tonic Eyewear, Tricky Lures, Ground Swell Wash, Fusion Restaurant, Coffee Cart, and Wilson.

With the event just around the corner, the excitement is building. The Rainbow Beach Fishing Classic & Expo 2023 is shaping up to be a week-long extravaganza that fishing enthusiasts won’t want to miss!
