It's not just an awards ceremony any more. Boats on the ground, outboards you can put your hands on, a tackle sale running all day, the kids sorted — and a $22,499 boat package walking out the gate with somebody at the end of it.
Brands, retailers & marine trade
We're building an outdoor expo around the presentation — fishing, boating, marine and outdoor brands in front of a crowd that's already turning up. Spaces are being allocated now.
This already happens
Competitors, families and half the Victorian fishing community turned up for a presentation in a footy clubroom. In 2026 we're building the day around it.
Drawn last, at 4:30pm
Rigged, registered and ready to launch the next morning. Boat sponsored by Melbourne Marine, engine sponsored by Mercury Australia.
Main stage
Stage times below. Everything else — boats, tackle, the fun zone — runs straight through from 11:00 to 5:00, so wander when you like.
Compleat Angler Dandenong sale opens inside the clubrooms. Boats and displays open on the ground.
MC opens the stage, sponsors introduced, how the day works.
First round of prizes drawn from the stage.
Squid jigs and how to fish them.
Second round of prizes drawn from the stage.
Legacy Line Fishing Services.
Winners from every division called to the stage. Runs about 90 minutes. Every name goes into the Hall of Lords.
The last thing that happens all day. You need to be on the ground for it.
Around the ground
Confirmed so far, each with their own patch. More being locked in over the coming months.
Front car park
Mercury are bringing the display van onsite for the day — the current four stroke range in front of you, and the people who actually know them standing next to it.
Alongside the oval
Four full boat packages on display beside the Mercury van, plus $1,000 in shop vouchers going out as prizes on the day.
On display all day
Northbank will be on the ground through Melbourne Marine Centre — a chance to climb through the hulls in person instead of scrolling photos of them.
Inside the clubrooms
A full event sale set up inside the building, open from the moment the gates do. Worth getting there early for.
Brand awareness
Lone Star will be on the ground showcasing their marine gear — winches, anchors and the rest of the range everyone knows them for, with the people behind the brand there to talk it through.
Smaller stands scattered through the ground — the people who actually make the gear, standing next to it, happy to talk.
Legacy LineDimitri Garoufalis — snapper talk on the main stage at 2:00pm.
Happy FishermanTibi and Mema from the TV show, on a stall through the day — come and have a chat.
Ocean AccessoriesSmall stand within the Compleat Angler area, running through the product range.
Inku Squid TackleJames from Inku speaking on the main stage at 12:15pm — squid jigs and how to fish them.
Back of the oval
Set up away from the stage so they've got room to run while you look at boats. All of it free.
Still being locked in
Further tackle, marine and outdoor brands are being confirmed for the day, along with the ground layout and the last of the stage times. This page updates as they land — check back, or follow Reedy's Rigs for the announcements.
Give us a hand
This day runs on word of mouth. Every share puts it in front of another angler, another family, another club — and every extra person through the gate is more back into the competition and the Frankston Bombers Football Club. Ten seconds of your time genuinely helps.
Entries for the Two Bays Snapper Challenge are open now. Presentation Day is free to walk into whether you fished it or not.
