2023 sees the 47th year of the Dampier Classic being held in the pristine waters surrounding the Dampier

archipelago. We are continuing our traditional 4 days of game fishing, open for all to be able to compete as a

 team in this magnificent event. This tournament is proud to be able to cater for all walks of life in the fishing

community from teams at the peak of our sport down to families, first time juniors and small fry’s. This

year’s tournament offers anglers many opportunities to make their mark on the competition. With many

sections there is a chance for everyone – from chasing bill fish, to the game fish capture section or tag and

release gamefish. We also have line class prizes for 3,4,6,8,10 and 15 kg line. Even our daily angler prize

gives you the chance to win, so anglers of any skill and experience have the opportunity to share in the prize

pool. So whether you like trolling the big blue or just happy to stay within the beautiful archipelago there is

a category for you to see your name up there amongst some of the area’s finest fishos. This year we have

some great sponsors who in tough times have come on-board again, along with some great new companies

which will see the 2023 tournament one to remember. So, don’t hesitate to get your team together, get your

entry in early and on behalf of the KBFC committee we look forward to seeing you on the water and at the

 gantry. INDEMNITY Every entrant taking part in the tournament shall indemnify the said organisers, or
