Copmanhurst Bass Classic

22/01/2024

Morning all,

We hope you all had a fun safe Xmas break. We have had to postpone the Bass Classic due to the Chinese New Year interrupting the fishing shirt manufacturing plus a few other elements that couldn't get closed before March. We pride ourselves in putting 100% into these events and never want to rush out an event just because. The Bass Classic isn't our "bread & butter", so we purely dedicate our time and money around the hours of work so we greatly appreciate your patience and cannot wait to throw a line in the water with you all again soon. Entries will open April/May '24 to give everyone as much time possible to organise for the event.

Good morning all, I’ve been receiving a lot of calls, emails and texts about a Bass comp happening this month.

Please remember that the Bass comp running this month is NOT us and has nothing to do with us. It’s run by a guy from Lismore and they used the similar name and same location.

We are the official Bass Classic at Copmanhurst and our event is running in March 2024 🎣🤙🏼 More details and entries will be opening in the coming weeks. Get ready 🙌🏼

Hey all, due to bigger plans for the event and time getting by way too quick, we will be having the Bass Classic locked in for February/March 2024. Entries will open from October so we have enough time to order in fishing shirts and a few other new bits and pieces.

When entries open in October, specific dates, times and details will be all available.

Thanks Levi Goodey for the drone and photography from the 2022 event.

Hey all, we hope you have been having a great 2023 so far... Over the past few months we have been hearing of some good Bass being caught.

We are very much in talks with the next event... But as usual we are all busy with our personal businesses and just working out the best month to lock in the date. More details will drop in the coming weeks. Stay well and keep those lines tight 🎣

Carl Jocumsen designed this Bassman Spinnerbaits (Official) colour on the banks of Sommerset Dam... Wonder if it'll work a treat on the Clarence River this weekend 😏

Repost from with another Bass that has fell victim to colour 25. Who would of thought all those years ago when designed this colour on the banks of Sommerset dam that it would be one of the all time great colours. So many Bass have been caught on this, a must have in everyone’s lure box.
