Sponsors
Welcome, new and returning sponsors! We’re thrilled to have you here and look forward to sharing more information about our event with you.
OUR STORY
The Justin Scott Fishing Classic was founded in 2020 in memory of our keen fisherman, Justin Scott. At its heart, this event is about bringing friends and family together to share memories of Justin and create new ones—catching a fish is just a bonus! For more on our history, head over to the Our Story page.
EVENT GROWTH
There was tremendous interest in the event from the start. For our first event in 2020, more than 60 teams expressed interest, but we capped the field at 43 teams to keep it manageable in our inaugural year. Since then, we’ve expanded, with our 2024 event seeing 69 teams and 201 anglers nominated. The event is family-friendly, and we encourage anglers to bring their friends and families to the presentation, which means our 201 anglers quickly grow into a crowd of 250+ attendees. There are no restrictions on who or how many can attend the presentation—the more, the merrier!
Sponsoring the Justin Scott Fishing Classic gives you direct access to all these anglers, event attendees, and volunteers.
SOCIAL MEDIA reach
As of October 2024, our Facebook page had 1,173 followers, with 47.6% male and 52.4% female, primarily between the ages of 25–44. Our followers span from Brisbane in the south to Cairns in the north, interstate to Darwin, and even internationally to Canada!
This demonstrates not only the broad diversity of our followers but also our reach beyond the Burdekin area, extending to other parts of the country and the world. Our posts can reach up to 2,900 people, with nearly 2,000 engagements.
ETHICAL & INCLUSIVE
In 2022, our event transitioned from a catch-and-kill to a catch-and-release tournament, making it a more sustainable and ethical sponsorship choice for businesses. We also partner with the Burdekin Fish Restocking Association to raise funds for restocking Barramundi back into Burdekin waterways.
The Justin Scott Fishing Classic is a two-day fishing competition where teams of two or three hit the water to out-fish both other teams and each other! There are eight individual award categories, as well as the highly coveted Champion Team award, not to mention the Metre Club, Best Dressed, and Hope Ya Jokin’ awards. For more details, head to the Event Information page.
There are three main events that allow us to give our sponsors exposure:
Bag pick up
Thursday, 6th March 2025
This night is a meet and greet where anglers pick up their goodie bags, we run through any rule changes and answer any questions anglers might have.
Competition
Friday, 7th - Saturday, 8th March 2025
Fishing in the competition will run over these days.
Presentation
Saturday, 8th March 2025
The presentation concludes the Justin Scott Fishing Classic where results are calculated and prizes are awarded.
We aim to keep growing the Justin Scott Fishing Classic bigger and better for our participants, and we need your help to make it happen!
