Marvellous conditions greeted the 25 starting teams in round one of the 2010 Spirit of Tasmania Bream Classic series.
After a fun filled Howler Custom Rods briefing, where Tim Colgrave won the Howler Custom rod, valued at around $300.00, teams soon filed off to their respective dens.
In cool and overcast conditions and light winds, the teams snaked their way slowly to the end of the 5knot limit before dispersing to all corners of Georges Bay.
With tides suiting the flats style angler, many teams headed for shallow water to fill their five fish limit.
During weigh in it soon became apparent that this was going to be great day, with 18 out of 25 teams recording a five fish limit, and only one team bringing donuts to the scale.
Some quite large bream were weighed in, with several contenders for the Tackle Us Big Bream amongst them.
Weights include the bream bags, so all weights are 495grams heavier than actual weight.

Day One
Tim Farrell held the Tackle Us big bream lead with a cracker at 1.93kg (including bag).
Team Roz Homes and Construction won the Strike Pro encouragement award for Day One, which includes some hand picked Strike Pro Reaction Baits and some Strike Pro hardbodied lures.

By NEIL GROSE | An unprecedented heat wave greeted anglers on the pre-fish of he second round of the Spirit of Tasmania Bream Classic on the picturesque Swan River — with temperatures soaring above 40°C.
As a result day one catches were down on expectations, although the top half of the field managed to get a four or five fish bag.
Sportsfishtasmania.com were the leading team on day one, but only by the narrowest of margins to Riverside Quality Meats and Bream Brothers — 25g separating the top three teams. Day one saw 57 bream weighed in with an average weight of around 0.8kg.
Day Two started a lot cooler and promised much, with most teams heading downstream to fish the flats and racks. Team Sportsfishtasmania.com continued their day one form (where they caught over 30 bream) and pulled a great five fish bag, upgrading many times through the day.
Bream Brothers weighed in early with a cracking bag and team Zipbaits with a Tackle Us Big Bag of 5.62kg (the biggest of day two) followed through from day one with a trouble free session to nearly pull back the deficit from day one.
Day two saw 77 bream weighed in for a lower average weight of 0.77kg, but they did look rather nice swimming around in the ‘Super Mini Tank’.

By NEIL GROSE | What a beautiful day to be out fishing as day one of Spirit of Tasmania Bream Classic Derwent Round series got underway.
All 20 teams were ready bright and early so we started at 6:45, with all teams spreading up and down the river.
Most teams seemed to get into the fish pretty early, with some teams starting to upgrade after 9am. A mixed bag was had by many as well, with quite a few trout, salmon, flathead (lots of those), mullet and trevally keeping anglers happy.
