19th Annual Bream Tournament

10 February 2026

Congratulations to our 2026 Monarch Bream Tournament Winners!

The 19th Annual Monarch Bream Tournament has wrapped up after another great few days on the water in Tuross, bringing together 160 keen anglers, sponsors and supporters for one of the most anticipated events on the calendar.

Congratulations to our 2026 placegetters:

1st Place – Nathan with a 44.5 cm Bream
2nd Place – Paul with a 41 cm Bream
3rd Place – Genaro with a 92 cm Flathead

The Wally Trophy, awarded to the angler who recorded the biggest Bream, Flathead and ‘Other’ fish across the tournament, was taken out by Anthony showcasing a fantastic effort across multiple categories.

In partnership with our Gold sponsors, Harvey Norman Commercial and GWA Group, this year’s event proudly supported our charity partners, Lifeline Canberra and Win the Day Charity. The charity raffle raised $17,750, and Monarch will match this amount dollar for dollar, taking the total to $35,500! The combined funds will be split evenly between the two charities to help continue their important work in the community.

As part of the fundraising efforts, this year’s charity raffle offered the chance to win a Quintrex boat valued at $75,000. While the major prize wasn’t drawn, raffle ticket winner Blake still walked away with a Rod ’n’ Reel prize.

A big thank you to everyone who took part, along with our sponsors and supporters who continue to make this event possible each year. We’re already looking forward to celebrating a milestone 20th tournament in 2027.
