The Real McCoy annual Bemm River Boys Trip was once again held from Thursday 30 April to Sunday 3 May at Bemm River, Victoria.
The weekend featured our much-anticipated three-day fishing competition across the surf, river, lake, and entrance bar, with around 24 blokes making the trip this year.
Conditions were outstanding, with sunshine all weekend and the entrance open — setting the stage for some fantastic fishing and plenty of quality catches.
As always, our annual trophy shields were awarded for Biggest Salmon and Biggest Bream, along with prizes for standout captures in other species categories.
