The Moreton Bay Classic ('MBC') is a yearly fishing competition run by Brisbane Fishing Online held in Moreton Bay in South East Queensland, Australia. It is being held in May is now a two day event, longer than the previous year's one day event. The 2009 competition has seen the event expand from only two prize categories to eight, as well as the boundaries expanded to include the majority of Moreton Bay. The 2010 competition saw the prize categories re-evaluated and now there is a solid five categories that will provide fierce competition between anglers.
The competition is Photo and Release event, whereby no fish are required to be removed from the location they are caught. A photo is taken of the fish and then the fish can be released following responsible fishing guidelines encouraged by the Qld Fisheries's Survival Guide [1]. This is responsible fishing and as such is one of the leading fishing competitions in Australia that is promoting sustainable and healthy fishing practices.
