For the first time in its seven-year history, next week's Durapanel 90 Mile Beach Snapper Bonanza could be a sell-out.
Spokesman John Stewart said the five-day tournament was limited to 800 contestants, plus sponsors, and tickets were selling like hot cakes.
"We're up about 200 (tickets) on this time
last year, and anyone who wants to be there but doesn't have their ticket yet might be disappointed," he said.
"There's a much stronger vibe around this year and we've got heaps of new contestants, including one from England and about 30 from Australia."
The format had been tweaked a little this year, most notably in that Thursday's weigh-in would close at 10.30am, with the prize-giving at 3pm, as opposed to 5pm every other day.
