About Two Bays Snapper Challenge 2025

Two Bays Snapper Challenge 2025 brings Victoria’s snapper community together for a fair, length-based comp that suits families, first-timers and seasoned fishos. Choose sessions across nine days to match tides and weather. Entries are simple: place the fish on a certified brag mat with the daily code visible, take a clear top-down photo, and submit via Track My Fish. Your longest snapper stands.

Built for Port Phillip Bay and Western Port, the event awards Open and Junior divisions, plus a Lucky Prize Draw so everyone has a chance to win — even if you don’t land a donkey.

Why Fish Port Phillip & Western Port in Spring?

Spring brings classic snapper conditions to Melbourne. In Port Phillip Bay, edges and rubble patches fire when currents align; in Western Port, tidal flow and channels set bite windows. The nine-day format lets you pick safer weather, plan around moon and tide, and maximise your shot. Whether you prefer bait on anchor or plastics on the drift, the Two Bays Snapper Challenge 2025 rewards smart planning and clean photos.

New to comps? Start with a tidy brag-mat setup, practice a flat, top-down photo, and read the How it Works section. You can submit multiple times — just upgrade your longest fish.
